6. Operating Instructions
Once assembled and connected to a water source, you can begin operating your pressure washer.
Nozzle Selection Guide:
Choose the appropriate nozzle for your cleaning task. Each nozzle provides a different spray pattern and intensity.
0° Nozzle (Red): Produces a powerful, concentrated jet for tough, localized stains on durable surfaces like cracks, footpaths, and metal. Use with extreme caution.
15° Nozzle (Yellow): Provides a focused, fan-shaped spray for intensive cleaning of hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, and brick. Ideal for removing paint or rust.
25° Nozzle (Green): Offers a wider fan spray, suitable for general cleaning of decks, fences, and terraces. Provides a good balance of power and coverage.
40° Nozzle (White): Delivers the widest fan spray, ideal for general cleaning of delicate surfaces like vehicles, windows, and outdoor furniture. Provides maximum coverage with less intensity.
Turbo Nozzle: Creates a rapidly rotating 0° spray pattern, combining the power of a 0° nozzle with the coverage of a wider spray. Excellent for stubborn dirt on concrete, sidewalks, and other hard surfaces.
360° Nozzle (Universal Nozzle Wand): Provides a rotating spray for comprehensive cleaning, particularly useful for washing cars and reaching hard-to-access corners.
Foam Cannon: Attach the foam cannon to the spray gun to apply detergent. The direct foam spray design ensures cleansers do not pass through the pump, preserving its lifespan. Ideal for pre-soaking vehicles or heavily soiled areas.
General Operation Steps:
- Ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is turned on.
- Plug the pressure washer into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Turn the main power switch to the ON position.
- Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to begin spraying. The Total Stop System (TSS) will automatically turn off the pump when the trigger is released and turn it back on when squeezed.
- To apply detergent, fill the foam cannon with appropriate pressure washer detergent and attach it to the spray gun.
- After use, turn off the power switch, disconnect from the power outlet, and turn off the water supply. Squeeze the trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pressure washer.
- Cleaning Nozzles: Periodically clean the nozzle tips to remove any blockages. A small wire or nozzle cleaning tool can be used.
- Filter Cleaning: Check and clean the inlet filter regularly to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Hose and Cord Inspection: Inspect the high-pressure hose and power cord for any signs of damage, kinks, or wear before each use. Replace if damaged.
- Winter Storage: If storing in freezing temperatures, ensure all water is drained from the pump and hoses to prevent damage. Consider using a pump protector.
- General Cleaning: Wipe down the unit with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and grime.
