1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your Patoolio Pressure Washer, Model W6. This electric pressure washer is designed for efficient cleaning of various outdoor surfaces, including concrete, patios, decks, fences, cars, and more. It features an all-in-one adjustable nozzle, an external foam cannon, and a compact design for ease of use and storage.
2. Important Safety Information
Read all safety warnings and instructions before operating this product.
- Always connect the water supply before turning on the machine. Operating the washer without water can cause the pump and motor to overheat, potentially leading to damage or smoke.
- Use only cold, clean tap water. Hot or dirty water can damage internal seals and cause excessive heat buildup inside the pump.
- Keep the nozzle and inlet filter clean. A clogged nozzle or filter restricts water flow, forcing the pump to work harder and potentially overheat.
- Use only non-flammable, pressure-washer-safe detergents. Never use gasoline, solvents, bleach, or corrosive chemicals, as these can react with electrical parts and cause smoke or fire.
- The handle is equipped with a child safety lock to prevent accidental operation. Always engage this lock when the unit is not in use.
- The Total Stop System (TSS) automatically stops the pump when the trigger is not activated, which conserves energy and extends the lifespan of the pump and motor.

- 0° (Pin-point jet): For concentrated power on stubborn stains on solid surfaces.
- 15-25° (Fan spray): Ideal for cleaning outdoor furniture or general dirt.
