The high pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when the motor
is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.
Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.
13
TEST
RESET

1. For your protection, wear protective safety glasses (Not provided).
2. Place the Pressure Washer near the working surface.
Make sure that the water source is turned on and all connections to
the Pressure Washer and Spray Gun are secure and without any water leakage.
The Pressure Washer motor runs ONLY when the
trigger is engaged.
3. Hold the gun securely with both hands. Point the
gun in a safe direction. Make sure that the gun safety
is unlocked and squeeze the trigger to allow any air
that is trapped inside the unit and hoses to escape.
Continue to squeeze the trigger until a steady stream
of water comes from the nozzle.
Make sure wand is SECURELY tightened to Gun. If the wand
is not securely locked into place, it could be ejected under high pressure when
operating the gun, possibly causing injury or damage.
4. Turn on the ON/Off switch on the front of the Pressure Washer.
NOTE: Motor does not start until trigger is pulled.
5. Point the gun in a safe direction and squeeze the trigger to start
motor and water flow.
USAGE TIPS:
• To prevent damage to your surface and to select an
appropriate working pressure for your application,
always start with lowest pressure setting and
continue increasing the pressure until the best work
result is achieved.
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from 8
to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
• If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using
high pressure mode, you may damage surface being
cleaned.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.

ADJUSTING THE NOZZLE
Nozzle may not be easily adjusted during spraying. Release the
Gun Trigger to stop spraying before adjusting the Nozzle.
ADJUSTING FOR FLOW (FAN) PATTERN
The angle of spray coming out of the nozzle may be adjusted by rotating the front of the
nozzle (cone). This will vary the spray pattern from approximately a 0° narrow high impact
stream (by turning the nozzle fully to the left) to a 60° wide fan spray (by turning the nozzle
fully to the right).
A narrow stream has high impact force on the cleaning surface and results in maximum deep
cleaning in a concentrated area. However, this narrow high impact spray must be used cau-
tiously, as it may damage some surfaces.
A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact of the water over a larger area, result-
ing in excellent cleaning action with a reduced risk of surface damage. Large
surface areas can be cleaned more quickly using a wide fan pattern.
ADJUSTING FOR PRESSURE
The Adjustable Pressure Nozzle allows you to vary the pressure of your spray by turning the
end of the nozzle (collar). Turning the collar fully to the right will reduce the pressure to its
minimum. If the Pressure Washer has a detergent injection system you must use this minimum
pressure setting in order to suction detergent.
Turning the collar fully to the left will increase the pressure to its maximum for greatest cleaning
efficiency. Turning the collar changes the pressure but not the fan pattern.
Detergent will NOT flow until the Pressure Adjust Collar is set
(turned) to low pressure position.

USAGE OF CLEANING DETERGENTS
TO APPLY DETERGENT:
1. Select a detergent/cleanser appropriate for the intended
application.
2. Prepare detergent solution as recommended by the
manufacturer.
3. Remove cap over the detergent bottle located on the side
of the Pressure Washer.
4. Fill bottle with prepared detergent solution. A small
funnel may help with this task. Replace the detergent
bottle cap.
5. Set (turn) the Pressure Adjust Collar to low pressure
position.
Detergent will NOT flow until the Pressure Adjust Collar is set
(turned) to low pressure position.
6. Pull spray gun trigger and apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower portion of
area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes.
Wetting the surface first is not recommended, as it dilutes the
detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
7. Allow detergent to “soak in” for 3-5 minutes before washing and rinsing. Reapply
as needed to prevent surface from drying. Do Not allow detergent to dry on surface
(prevents streaking).
TO RINSE:
1. Reset the Pressure Adjust Collar to high pressure, press the trigger and wait for the deter-
gent to clear.
2. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you plan to spray.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, and then check the surface for damage. If no
damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning.
4. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as
you used for washing and applying detergent.
When you have completed use of the detergent injection system, continue to run in low pres-
sure mode and flush clean water through the detergent bottle until it is thoroughly cleaned.
Failure to clean properly will cause the injection system to become
clogged and inoperable.
16

CLEANING TIPS:
• Never leave the Pressure Washer unattended while it is plugged into an electrical outlet
and while water is supplied to the equipment.
• Never use the Pressure Washer water inlet to siphon detergent or wax.
• If you have the nozzle too far away from the surface being washed, the cleaning will not
be as effective.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning.
SHUTTING DOWN THE PRESSURE WASHER
To shut off the Pressure Washer:
1. Release spray gun trigger.
2. Move unit’s ON/OFF switch to OFF position.
IMPORTANT: Releasing the trigger will shut off the motor but does not shut off electrical
power to the unit.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to relieve built
up pressure in the unit.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor is stopped
and water is disconnected.
5. Engage trigger lock on spray gun when not in use.
6. Disconnect GFCI plug from outlet.
7. Loop the power cord and pressure hose and hang
on the hooks on the sides of the pressure washer.
8. Disconnect the wand from the gun and place both
in their holders on the side of the pressure washer.
9. Disconnect pressure washer from water supply and
store the unit (see MAINTENENCE section).
17

MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance will improve performance and extend life of Pressure Washer.
Pressure Washer’s warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. Only by maintaining Pressure Washer in accordance with instructions in this manual
will the full value of the warranty be honored.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain the Pressure Washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least one time each season. It is important that the
maintenance chart below be followed.
STORAGE
After each application or winter storage follow these instructions:
1. When finished using the Pressure Washer, you must first drain and rinse the detergent
bottle and siphoning tube.
2. Run the Pressure Washer in low pressure until all of the soap is drained from the detergent
bottle.
3. Pour clear water into the bottle and run it through on low pressure as though it were deter-
gent.
4. Turn the machine OFF and squeeze the trigger to release the trapped pressure inside of the
machine.
5. Remove both the garden hose and high pressure hose from the unit.
6. Turn ON the machine and allow it to run for 5 seconds. (This will clear out most of the
water trapped in the pump).
7. Unplug the machine and store in a dry, climate controlled environment.
NOTE: Do not store the machine or accessories in a place where the temperature could drop below
40°F.
AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE
Scale deposits may form in the pump when it is not used for some time. This causes the motor to
hesitate or not start up at all.
1. Do not plug the unit into electrical outlet or connect the pressure hose to the unit.
2. Connect garden hose to the unit and allow the water to exit from pressure outlet for a few
seconds to rinse the system.
3. Shut off the water.
4. Connect pressure hose to the gun and pressure washer.
18

CONNECTIONS
Connections (fittings) on Pressure Washer, pressure hose, gun and spray wand should be
cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease to prevent leakage and damage
to the o-rings.
NOZZLE
The nozzles should be lubricated with non-water soluble grease or light oil regularly. Clogging
of the nozzle causes the pump pressure to build up too high and cleaning is required.
1. Make sure Pressure Washer On/Off switch is set to
Off and spray gun trigger is locked.
2. Set the nozzle to high pressure setting to make the
nozzle hole accessible.
3. Clear blockage in nozzle by inserting the nozzle
cleaning needle (provided) through center hole.
4. After cleaning, remove the needle from nozzle and
store for future use.
WATER INLET FILTER
The Pressure Washer is equipped with a water inlet filter to protect the pump from foreign
debris.
1. Remove the garden hose coupling from pressure washer water inlet and then gently remove
the rubber gasket over the screen filter and remove the filter from inside the inlet.
2 . CAREFULLY clean the filter by using a nonabrasive and dull object (finger or soft brush).
Make sure screen is not torn or broken.
3. Reinstall the filter, rubber gasket and coupling. FIRMLY hand tighten the coupling to prevent
water leakage.
