4.1 Starting the Unit

1. Ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is turned on.
2. Turn on the power switch on the pressure washer unit.
3. Before starting, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to purge air from the system until a steady stream of water emerges. This protects the pump.

4.2 Using the Retractable Hose

The unit features a 100 ft retractable pressure hose with an 'Any Length Lock' system.

• To Extend: Pull the hose gently to the desired length. The hose will lock automatically.
• To Retract: Give the hose a gentle tug, and the automatic rewind system will retract it smoothly back into the reel. This system is designed to prevent kinks and snags.

• 15° (Yellow): For intense cleaning of hard surfaces like brick or concrete.
• 25° (Green): For general cleaning of wood decks, vinyl siding, and other soft surfaces.
