1 DESCRIPTION

1.1 PURPOSE

The machine is used to clean vehicles, boats, buildings, porches, decks, patios, and driveways. It is intended for residential use only, not for professional use, and for operation at temperatures above 32°F (0°C).

1.2 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The pressure washer consists of the following components:

2 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read and understand all safety warnings before operating the machine. Ensure children are supervised and kept away from the work area. Do not operate the machine under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that could get caught in moving parts. Wear appropriate protective gear, including non-skid footwear and eye protection.

3 ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS

This machine must be connected to a 120V, 60Hz AC power supply. Use only extension cords rated for outdoor use with watertight connections. Ensure the power cord and any extension cords are in good condition and kept away from heat, sharp edges, and moving parts. Keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. The product is double-insulated and does not require grounding.

4 PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY WARNINGS

Stay alert and maintain good footing and balance. Do not operate when fatigued. Keep the operating area clear of people and obstructions. Never direct the discharge stream at people, pets, or the machine itself, as this can cause injection injuries. Keep the motor away from flammable materials. Follow all maintenance instructions.

5 GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION

The pressure washer is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in the power cord plug for added protection against electric shock. If replacement of the plug or cord is necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.

6 SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCE

Servicing of double-insulated appliances requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should only be performed by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts must be identical to the original parts.

7 EXTENSION CORDS

Use only extension cords rated for outdoor use and with a rating not less than that of the product. Examine extension cords for damage before use and replace if damaged. Do not abuse the cord, pull on it to disconnect, or expose it to heat or sharp edges.

8 CHILD SAFETY

Tragic accidents can occur if children are present. Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult. Do not allow children under 14 years of age to operate this machine. Children aged 14 and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules and be supervised by a parent.

11 RISK LEVELS

The manual defines risk levels (DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION) to communicate potential hazards. Pay close attention to these warnings to prevent serious injury or property damage.

12 INSTALLATION

12.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Connect the machine to a 120V, 60Hz AC household power supply. Ensure a drip loop is formed in the power cord to prevent water from running along the cord to the electrical outlet.

12.2 UNPACK THE MACHINE

Carefully unpack the machine and check for any damaged or missing parts. Contact the service center if any issues are found.

12.3 INSTALL THE SPRAY WAND

Push the spray wand into the gun handle and turn clockwise until the tabs lock. Ensure the connection is leak-free.

12.4 INSTALL THE UBERFLEX HOSE

Connect one end of the Uberflex hose to the water inlet coupler and the other end to the water outlet coupler. Ensure connections are tight.

13 OPERATION

Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free before operation.

13.1 CONNECT THE WATER SUPPLY TO THE MACHINE

Use a garden hose (not provided) and connect it to the water inlet. Let water flow through the hose for 30 seconds before connecting to the machine. Ensure the water supply is from the main, not hot water, and not from ponds or lakes. Inspect the water inlet filter before connecting the hose.

13.2 USE THE GUN

Pull and hold the gun trigger to start the machine. Release the trigger to stop water flow. Use the trigger safety button to lock or unlock the trigger.

13.3 CHANGE THE NOZZLE

Before changing the nozzle, release water pressure by pulling the trigger and locking it. Stop the machine. Do not point the spray wand at yourself or others. Install the desired nozzle by pulling back the quick-connect collar, inserting the nozzle, and releasing the collar.

Nozzle Types:

13.4 INSTALL THE DETERGENT TANK

Fill the detergent tank with appropriate detergent (do not use household detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, or flammable materials). Install the tank onto the gun and tighten. Do not let detergent dry on the surface.

13.5 START THE MACHINE

Ensure the water supply is on. Pull the gun trigger to release air pressure until a stable stream of water is visible. Release the trigger. Connect the machine to the power supply and turn the power switch to the ON position.

13.6 STOP THE MACHINE

Release the spray gun trigger. Turn the power switch to the OFF position. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the power cord. Pull the spray gun trigger to release remaining pressure and engage the trigger safety lock.

14 MAINTENANCE

Before performing maintenance, stop the machine, wait for moving parts to stop, and disconnect the power source. Do not use strong solvents or detergents on plastic parts. Avoid contact with brake fluids, gasoline, or petroleum-based materials.

15 NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

If pump pressure is too high or inconsistent, the nozzle may be clogged. Remove the nozzle by pulling back the quick-connect collar and removing it. Clean the nozzle with a straight paper clip or cleaning tool and flush with water. Install the clean nozzle.

16 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Disconnect the power cord and water supply hose before transportation and storage. Move the machine only by the handgrip. Store the machine in a dry, isolated, and frost-free area. Ensure the spray gun, hose, and pump are dry. Use a pump protector for winter storage. Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth. Check for loose or damaged parts and replace or tighten as needed.

16.3 USE THE NYLON VELCRO TIE STRAP

Use the strap to tie the Uberflex hose and secure the power cord.
