Operating Instructions
- Purging Air from the System: Before starting the motor, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun for approximately 30 seconds to allow water to flow through the system and expel any trapped air. This prevents damage to the pump.
- Starting the Pressure Washer: With the water supply on and air purged, press the power button to start the motor. The LED indicator will illuminate.
- Nozzle Selection: Choose the appropriate quick-connect nozzle for your cleaning task.
- 15° Nozzle (Yellow): For intense cleaning of stubborn dirt on hard, non-delicate surfaces.
- 40° Nozzle (White): For general cleaning of larger areas, suitable for vehicles, patios, and siding.
- Soap Nozzle (Black): For applying detergent at low pressure.
- Turbo Nozzle: Provides a rotating jet for maximum cleaning power on tough stains.
- Cleaning Technique: Hold the spray gun firmly with both hands. Start spraying a few feet away from the surface and gradually move closer until the desired cleaning effect is achieved. Maintain a consistent distance and angle for even cleaning.
- Using Detergent: When using the soap nozzle, the pressure washer will operate at a lower pressure, allowing for effective detergent application. After applying detergent, switch to a high-pressure nozzle (15° or 40°) to rinse the surface thoroughly.
- Stopping Operation: Release the trigger to engage the Total Stop System (TSS). For extended breaks, turn off the power switch and the water supply.
