3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the product manual (not included here) are present and undamaged.
2. Attach High-Pressure Hose: Connect one end of the high-pressure hose to the pressure washer's outlet and the other end to the spray gun. Ensure connections are hand-tight and secure.
3. Attach Spray Wand: Insert the pro-style steel wand into the spray gun and twist until it locks into place.
4. Connect Water Supply:
   • From Faucet: Connect a standard garden hose (not included) to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure the garden hose is free of kinks and has a steady water supply.
   • From Bucket: If using a bucket, ensure the bucket is placed above the pressure washer for gravity feed. Submerge the garden hose end into the bucket, ensuring it remains submerged during operation. The pressure washer is designed to draw water from a bucket, but a consistent supply is crucial.
5. Connect Power: Plug the 17 FT power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet meets the power requirements specified for the unit.
6. Prime the Pump: Before turning on the power, turn on the water supply fully and squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to allow air to escape and water to flow through the system until a steady stream emerges. This primes the pump and prevents damage.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Starting the Unit: After priming the pump, ensure the safety switch is in the 'OFF' position. Turn the main power switch to 'ON'. The motor will start.
2. Engaging the Spray: Point the spray gun at the cleaning surface. Squeeze the trigger to begin spraying. The safety switch must be disengaged for the unit to operate.
3. Using the Detachable Foam Cannon:
   • Fill the foam cannon reservoir with an appropriate pressure washer detergent.
   • Attach the foam cannon to the spray gun.
   • Adjust the foam cannon nozzle for desired foam thickness.
   • Spray the detergent onto the surface. Allow it to dwell for a few minutes (refer to detergent instructions) before rinsing.
4. Cleaning Applications:
   • Cars/RVs/Boats: Use a wide spray pattern or the foam cannon for detergent application, then rinse thoroughly from top to bottom. Maintain a safe distance to avoid paint damage.
   • Fences/Patios/Decks: Start with a wider spray pattern and gradually move closer to remove dirt and grime. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
   • Driveways/Concrete/Sidewalks: Use a more concentrated spray for tough stains. Work in small sections, overlapping slightly.
5. Stopping the Unit: Release the trigger. Turn the main power switch to 'OFF'. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Turn off the water supply. Squeeze the trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.

5. Maintenance

After Each Use:

• Drain Water: Ensure all water is drained from the pump, hose, and spray gun to prevent freezing and damage. Run the unit for a few seconds with the water supply off and trigger squeezed until no more water comes out.
• Clean Nozzles: Remove any debris from the nozzle tips.
• Clean Foam Cannon: Rinse the foam cannon reservoir thoroughly with clean water.
• Wipe Down: Clean the exterior of the pressure washer with a damp cloth.

Storage:

Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free environment. Utilize the power cord hook and nozzle holder for organized storage. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
