5. Operating Instructions
Before starting, ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is turned on.
- Purge Air from System:
- With the water supply on and the pressure washer still off, squeeze the trigger on the high-pressure gun to allow water to flow through and expel any air from the system. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges.
- Start the Pressure Washer:
- Turn the ON/OFF switch on the pressure washer unit to the "ON" position. The motor will start.
- The unit features an automatic stop system, meaning the motor will only run when the trigger on the gun is squeezed and will stop when the trigger is released.
- Adjust Spray Pattern:
- If using the adjustable lance, twist the nozzle to change the spray pattern from a concentrated jet to a wider fan spray.
- Begin Cleaning:
- Hold the spray gun firmly with both hands.
- Start spraying from a distance and gradually move closer to the surface, observing the cleaning effect.
- Maintain a safe distance from the surface to avoid damage.
- Shutting Down:
- Release the trigger on the spray gun.
- Turn the ON/OFF switch on the pressure washer unit to the "OFF" position.
- Turn off the water supply.
- Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to release any remaining pressure in the system.
- Disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
- Disconnect the garden hose and high-pressure hose.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure washer.
- Filter Cleaning: The pressure washer is equipped with a double filter system (internal and external) to prevent particles from damaging the pump. Regularly inspect and clean both filters to ensure proper water flow and prevent blockages.
- To clean the external filter, disconnect the garden hose and remove the filter. Rinse it under running water.
- To clean the internal filter, carefully remove it from the water inlet and rinse thoroughly.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If the spray pattern becomes irregular or pressure drops, the nozzle may be clogged. Use the provided nozzle cleaner tool to clear any debris from the nozzle opening.
- Hose and Cord Inspection: Regularly check the high-pressure hose and power cord for any signs of damage, cuts, or leaks. Replace damaged components immediately.
- Storage: Before storing, ensure all water is drained from the pump and hoses to prevent freezing damage in cold climates. Store the pressure washer in a dry, protected area. Use the integrated accessory holder for the power cord.
