- Connect Water Supply: Attach a standard garden hose (not included) to the water inlet connector on the pressure washer. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks (Step 6).
Water and Power Connection:
- Ensure your water source provides a steady flow.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded 120V AC outlet with GFCI protection.
- Before turning on the unit, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to purge air from the system until a steady stream of water flows out. This prevents damage to the pump.

- 15-Degree Nozzle (Yellow): Provides a concentrated, powerful spray for stubborn stains on durable surfaces like concrete, brick, and driveways. Use with caution on softer materials.
- 40-Degree Nozzle (White): Offers a wider, gentler spray suitable for general cleaning of cars, windows, patio furniture, and other delicate surfaces.
Using the Foam Cannon:
The included 400ml foam cannon allows for easy application of detergent.
- Fill the foam cannon with an appropriate pressure washer detergent.
- Attach the foam cannon to the spray gun lance.
