Safety Information
Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.
General Safety Warnings:
- Read all instructions: Familiarize yourself with the controls and proper use of the equipment.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded. Do not operate the pressure washer in wet conditions or near standing water. Always use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet.
- Water Connection: Connect the pressure washer to a cold water supply only. Do not use hot water. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

- Keep Children Away: Never allow children or untrained individuals to operate the pressure washer.
- Avoid Direct Spray: Never direct the water spray at people, pets, electrical devices, or the unit itself. High-pressure spray can cause severe injury.
- Secure Footing: Maintain firm footing and balance when operating the pressure washer.
- Total Stop System (TSS): The unit is equipped with a Total Stop System which automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger is released, prolonging pump life and saving energy.

Operating Instructions
This section details how to operate your FOTING pressure washer effectively and safely.
Starting the Unit:
- Ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is turned on.
- Press the power button on the touchscreen interface to turn on the unit.
- Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to begin water flow. The Total Stop System (TSS) will activate the pump only when the trigger is pressed.
Adjusting Pressure and Nozzles:
The FOTING FT-PRO150C features an adjustable touchscreen interface with 8 pressure levels, ranging from 2500 PSI to 5000 PSI. Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the screen to select the desired pressure level. The screen also offers preset modes for 'Gentle' (e.g., wood fences), 'Moderate' (e.g., cars), and 'Strong' (e.g., driveways).
The unit includes 4 quick-connect nozzles, each designed for specific applications:
- 0° (Red): For concentrated, powerful jet cleaning on tough stains and hard surfaces like concrete cracks.
- 15° (Yellow): For focused cleaning on concrete, asphalt, and bricks.
- 25° (Green): For suitable use on decks, fences, and terraces.
- 40° (White): For general cleaning of vehicles, windows, and outdoor furniture.
Using the Foam Cannon:
To apply detergent, detach the spray gun lance and connect the foam cannon/detergent bottle. Fill the bottle with appropriate pressure washer detergent. The foam cannon provides a low-pressure foam spray for pre-soaking and cleaning vehicles or other surfaces.
