2. Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

• Always operate the pressure washer in a well-ventilated area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
• Never point the spray gun at people, pets, or electrical devices. The high-pressure spray can cause severe injury.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection, and sturdy footwear.
• Ensure all connections are secure before starting the unit to prevent leaks and hose whip. Insert the hose gasket first to prevent leakage.

1. Attach Wheels and Handle: Secure the never-flat wheels and handle to the main unit using the provided tools and hardware.
2. Add Engine Oil: Locate the oil fill cap. Using the provided engine oil, fill the crankcase to the recommended level. Do not overfill. Check the oil level before each use.
3. Add Fuel: Fill the fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline. Ensure the fuel level is 1/2 inch below the filler neck to prevent spillage.
4. Connect High-Pressure Hose: Attach one end of the 25ft high-pressure hose to the pressure washer's outlet and the other end to the spray gun. Ensure the hose gasket is properly seated to prevent leaks.
5. Connect Water Supply: Connect a garden hose (not included) to the water inlet of the pressure washer. Ensure the water supply is turned ON and free of kinks.
6. Prime the Pump: With the water supply on, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to allow air to escape from the hose. Continue until a steady stream of water flows from the nozzle, indicating the pump is primed.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Starting the Engine

1. Ensure the water supply is connected and turned on, and the pump is primed.
2. Turn the engine switch to the "ON" position.
3. Open the fuel valve to the "ON" position.
4. Move the choke lever to the "CLOSED" position.
5. Locate the recoil cord and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull firmly and quickly to start the engine. Repeat if necessary.
6. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "OPEN" position.

5.2 Nozzle Selection and Usage

The pressure washer includes 5 quick-connect nozzles, each designed for specific cleaning tasks:

• 0° Nozzle (Red): Provides the strongest, most concentrated stream. Use for tough, localized dirt and grime on hard, non-damageable surfaces. Exercise extreme caution.
• 15° Nozzle (Yellow): High-pressure, narrow spray. Ideal for intense cleaning of small areas, removing paint, rust, or stubborn stains from concrete and metal.
• 25° Nozzle (Green): Medium-pressure, wider spray. Suitable for general cleaning of decks, patios, driveways, and siding without causing damage.
• 40° Nozzle (White): Low-pressure, wide spray. Best for delicate surfaces like windows, vehicles, or for rinsing large areas.
• Soap Nozzle (Black): Lowest pressure, widest spray. Designed for applying detergents and soaps. Activates the 1L soap tank for mixing with water.

5.3 Using the Soap Tank

The integrated 1L soap tank allows for easy application of detergents. Fill the tank with your desired pressure washer-safe cleaning solution. Attach the black soap nozzle to activate the detergent injection system. The detergent will automatically mix with water. After applying soap, switch to a high-pressure nozzle (e.g., 25° or 40°) to rinse the surface thoroughly.

5.4 General Operation Tips

• Always start cleaning with a wider spray angle (e.g., 40°) and move closer or switch to a narrower angle if more pressure is needed.
• Test the spray on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the surface.
• Maintain a consistent distance from the surface for even cleaning.
• The 25ft high-pressure hose provides ample reach, reducing the need to frequently move the unit.

• Air Filter: Inspect and clean the air filter regularly. Replace if heavily soiled or damaged.
• Spark Plug: Check the spark plug annually and replace if necessary.
• Fuel System: Use fresh gasoline. For storage longer than 30 days, add a fuel stabilizer or drain the fuel tank and carburetor to prevent gum deposits.
• Nozzles: Clean clogged nozzles with a nozzle cleaning tool (not included) to restore spray pattern and pressure.
