4. Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your pressure washer for use:
- Connect Water Supply: Attach the inlet connector and inlet filter to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Connect a garden hose (not included) to the inlet connector and to your water tap. Ensure the water tap is turned off initially. Alternatively, use the tap connector and bucket filter for drawing water from a bucket.
- Connect High-Pressure Hose: Securely screw one end of the high-pressure hose to the high-pressure outlet on the main unit and the other end to the spray gun.
- Attach Nozzle: Insert the desired nozzle into the spray gun and twist or push until it clicks into place.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cable into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch on the unit is in the OFF position before plugging in.
- Purge Air from System: Before turning on the power, turn on the water tap completely. Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to allow water to flow through the system and expel any trapped air. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges from the nozzle. This prevents damage to the pump.
5. Operating Instructions
Once assembled and connected, follow these steps for effective cleaning:
- Start the Unit: After purging air, turn the power switch on the pressure washer to the ON position. The motor will start.
- Begin Cleaning: Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to start the high-pressure water flow. The unit features an auto-stop function, meaning the motor will stop when the trigger is released and restart when squeezed again.
- Adjust Spray Pattern: Use the adjustable nozzle to change the spray pattern from a concentrated jet for tough spots to a wider fan spray for general cleaning.
- Apply Detergent (Optional): If using detergent, fill the foam bottle with appropriate pressure washer detergent. Attach the foam bottle to the spray gun. The pressure washer will draw detergent and mix it with water. Apply detergent to the surface, allow it to soak for a few minutes (do not let it dry), then rinse thoroughly with clear water.
- Cleaning Techniques: Maintain a safe distance from the surface being cleaned to avoid damage. Work from top to bottom on vertical surfaces.
- Stop the Unit: When finished, release the spray gun trigger. Turn the power switch to the OFF position. Turn off the water tap. Squeeze the trigger again to release any remaining pressure in the system. Disconnect the power cord and water hose.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure washer:
- Clean Nozzles: If the nozzle becomes clogged, use the included nozzle cleaning tool (if applicable) or a thin wire to clear any debris.
- Clean Water Inlet Filter: Regularly check and clean the water inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Drain Water: After each use, especially before storing in freezing temperatures, ensure all water is drained from the pump, hoses, and spray gun to prevent damage. Run the unit for a few seconds with the water supply disconnected and the trigger squeezed until no more water comes out.
- Storage: Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free location. Coil hoses neatly and store accessories properly.
- General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
