Operating

Using the Pressure Washer

IMPORTANT! This pressure washer is equipped with a micro-switch sensitive to water flow. This Total Stop System (TSS) senses water flow in the pump. When the trigger is released, water stops flowing through the pump. The TSS then automatically turns the motor off to protect the pump from overheating, thus saving energy and prolonging pump life.

1. Position the washer as CLOSE as possible to the water supply.
2. The washer must be used on a secure and stable surface in a standing, upright position (Fig. 12).

   [Diagram showing correct (checkmark) and incorrect (cross mark) positioning of the pressure washer during use.]

3. Make sure the unit is switched off before plugging the unit into the power outlet.
4. Check that the electrical supply voltage (V) and frequency (HZ) correspond to those specified on the rating plate. If the power supply is correct, you may now plug the pressure washer into the power outlet (Fig. 13).

   [Diagram showing the power cord with GFCI plug being inserted into an electrical outlet. The GFCI unit shows Reset and Test buttons.]

5. Turn the water supply tap on completely.
6. Make sure the safety lock is switched in its original position (Fig. 14), then pull the trigger for a few seconds until water flow is steady. This will allow air to escape and discharge any residual pressure in the hose.

   [Diagram of the trigger gun showing the safety lock and trigger.]

7. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON/I position to start the pressure washer (Fig. 15).

   CAUTION! To prevent damage to the appliance, do not allow it to operate dry. Before starting the appliance, make sure that it has a steady supply of water.

   [Diagram showing the ON/OFF switch on the pressure washer unit.]

8. When re-starting the pressure washer, always keep the trigger pressed. NOTE: The pump only runs when the trigger is pulled and shuts off when the trigger is released.

Using Nozzles

Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.

1. Use the 15° fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains, and rust from steel. This nozzle should only be used in areas that can withstand the high-pressure from this nozzle.
2. Use the 25° fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks. When using this nozzle, test a small area first to avoid surface damage.
3. Use the 40° wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn equipment.

CAUTION! NEVER change nozzles without locking the safety lock on the trigger handle.

WARNING! High-pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons, pets, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.

This electric pressure washer is equipped with three QuickConnect nozzles that easily snap onto the Quick-Connect collar of the spray wand.

To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:

1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 16).

   [Diagram of the trigger gun showing the safety lock being engaged into the slot.]

3. Pull back the brass Quick-Connect collar and insert the desired nozzle into the collar. Release the collar and the nozzle will click into place (Fig. 17).

   [Diagram showing the spray wand quick-connect collar and a nozzle being inserted.]

To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning job is complete:

1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle.
3. Remove the nozzle by disconnecting it while pulling back the brass Quick-Connect collar.

WARNING! Do not make changes to the nozzle while the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the pressure washer or injury to the user.

Working with Detergents

When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.

WARNING! Use only detergents specifically designed for use with pressure washers. DO NOT USE household detergents, acids, alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial-grade solutions. These could damage the pressure washer.

1. Remove the foam spray nozzle, fill the foam cannon bottle with detergent designed specifically for use with pressure washers, and secure the cap back into place (Fig. 18).

   NOTE: Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.

   [Diagram showing a foam cannon bottle being filled with pressure washer detergent.]

2. To connect the foam cannon, pull back the brass Quick-Connect collar on the spray wand and insert the foam cannon into the collar. Release the collar and the foam cannon will click into place (Fig. 19).

   [Diagram showing the foam cannon being connected to the spray wand.]

3. Turn the foam-volume knob on the foam cannon to vary the amount of foam (Fig. 20).

   [Diagram showing the foam-volume knob on the foam cannon.]

4. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate the unit. The liquid detergent will automatically mix with water and be discharged through the nozzle.
5. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry surface to be cleaned. Applying detergent in this manner will dissolve dirt most effectively. NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
6. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the surface. CAUTION! Damage may occur to painted surfaces if the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.

Shutting Down

1. Turn the switch to the OFF (0) position (Fig. 14) and unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Turn off the water source.
3. Hold the trigger to release water pressure.
4. Disconnect the garden hose from the water inlet on the unit.
5. Disconnect the high-pressure hose connection on the trigger gun handle.
6. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing down on the safety lock on the handle (Fig. 13).

WARNING! Turn off the water supply and squeeze the trigger to depressurize the unit. Failure to do so could result in personal injury due to discharge of high-pressure water.

Taking a Break

If you are taking a break of two minutes or more between cleaning tasks:

1. Engage the gun safety lock (Fig. 13).
2. Turn the switch to the OFF (0) position.
