Users should consult the operator's manual for comprehensive safety information and detailed usage instructions before operating the pressure washer.
Key Setup Steps
Follow these steps for a quick and safe setup:
- Connect the garden hose to the pressure washer's water intake.
- Assemble the pressure washer gun to the spray wand.
- Connect the high-pressure hose to the trigger handle and the pressure washer.
- Turn on the water supply at the outlet.
- Run water through the hose for 30 seconds with the motor off to clear air from the system.
- Connect the power cord directly to a wall outlet; extension cords are not recommended.
- Turn on the pressure washer. Ensure the water outlet is on before powering the unit to prevent pump damage.
Detergent Bottle Installation
To install the detergent bottle:
- Insert the male end of the bottle into the female outlet on the trigger handle.
- Push firmly and turn clockwise until the tabs lock for a secure, leak-free connection.
- Unscrew the bottle to fill it with pressure washer detergents or soaps only.
Spray Tip Applications
The pressure washer includes different spray tips for various cleaning tasks:
- Green Tip (25°): Narrow fan tip, ideal for general cleaning and removing dirt from surfaces without causing damage.
- White Tip (40°): Wide fan tip, provides a wider cleaning area with lower pressure, suitable for light or delicate cleaning tasks on surfaces like wood decks.
Important Notes
Auto Start/Stop Feature: The pressure washer is equipped with an automatic start/stop system. The pump pressurizes and shuts down when the trigger is released, and starts again when the trigger is pressed.
