8. This power washer conforms to
CSA and other safety and consumer
standards. DO NOT modify or rebuild
any part of your power washer.
9. DO NOT use your power washer
when you are under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Use this power tool
carefully and only when you are alert.
10. Watch your balance and footing while
using your power washer. Surfaces
become slippery when wet and are
extra slippery when using a detergent
or cleaner.
11. NEVER operate the power washer in
bare feet, sandals, or open-toed shoes.
12. When using the power washer near
children, make sure they are closely
supervised by an adult to avoid injury.
NEVER let a child use the power
washer.
13. Keep fingers, hands, feet and any
part of your body clear of the stream
of high pressure water. The powerful
spray can cause blindness or blast
holes in the skin. It can break a
window if you are too close when you
pull the trigger on the spray gun.
14. ALWAYS wear eye protection to
prevent injury to eyes when operating
the power washer.
15. To avoid mishaps or injury, ALWAYS
use the trigger safety lock when not
using the power washer even if the
spraying stops for a moment.
16. The power washer is equipped with
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) which greatly reduces the
chance of electric shock while the unit
is in use. If replacement of the plug
or cord is needed, use only identical
replacement parts.
17. Point the spray gun in a safe direction
when beginning a power washing
session.
18. NEVER spray directly at a person,
animal, electrical device or the unit
itself.
19. When first using the spray gun, hold
the spray gun and lance with two
hands when pulling the trigger (one
hand to pull the trigger and the other
to stabilize the gun assembly) until
you get used to the “kickback” from
the spray gun.
20. When you press the power switch
to turn o the power washer, water
pressure may remain in the system.
To discharge the pressure, point the
spray gun in a safe direction and pull
the trigger.
21. NEVER spray flammable liquids.
22. NEVER use the power washer in areas
that contain combustible dust, liquids
or vapors.
23. Avoid contact of the pressure hose
with sharp objects and examine the
hose regularly. Replace if damaged.
Due to the high pressure involved, it
cannot be repaired if cut or damaged.
24. Only use detergent specifically
formulated for power washers and
follow instructions on the detergent’s
label.
25. Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from
exposure to detergent. Dish or
laundry soap is too thick and will clog
the nozzle of your detergent bottle.
IMPORTANT: Store the power washer
indoors to prevent the water in the
unit from expanding under freezing

6 7
conditions. When the water freezes and
expands, your power washer will be
damaged and become inoperable. Or, if
storing outdoors, it is recommended you
use pump saver (not included) to protect
pumps.
26. NEVER use hot water with your power
washer. It will overheat and damage
the high pressure pump.
27. NEVER leave the power washer
unattended while it is powered “ON”.
28. ALWAYS turn the water supply “ON
” before turning the power washer
power to “ON”. Running the pump
dry will cause damage to the internal
components.
29. NEVER use a water supply to your
power washer that exceeds 150 PSI
maximum.
30. NEVER disconnect the high pressure
hose from the power washer while the
system is pressurized.
31. NEVER permanently engage the
trigger mechanisms on the spray gun.
32. NEVER operate the power washer
unless all components are properly
and securely connected.
33. NEVER allow the power washer pump
to run for more than one minute after
you have turned o the water supply.
This can cause the motor and pump to
overheat and fail.
34. NEVER use lances or other parts that
are not compatible for this specific BE
unit.
35. NEVER USE AN EXTENSION
POWER CORD since it defeats
the eectiveness of the GFCI and
increases the chance of electrocuting
the operator.
36. NEVER spray any electrical outlet with
your power washer.
37. Inspect the power cord before using.
DO NOT use it if it is damaged.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• When using detergent (not included),
fill with a properly formulated
detergent or cleaner with water ratio
according to instructions on the
container. Close detergent tank when
done filling.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•Always test a small area to avoid
chance of damaging the surface.
• When removing the detergent tank,
squeeze the clamp and remove the
small hose from detergent tank. Pull
the detergent tank
straight out. To
replace tank, push
straight in and then
reattach hose with
clamp.
• The power washer will pull a ratio of
water to detergent of 10:1 or 10 parts
water to 1 part detergent. The detergent
concentration can be adjusted by
turning the detergent knob on the top
of the machine. Turn it left for more
concentration or turn it right for less
concentration.
Removing Power Washer Unit from

Operation Tips
• If you hear the motor run
intermittently when the trigger is not
being squeezed, that is normal.
The pump is priming itself so it is
ready to operate when the trigger is
squeezed. Turn o the power washer
if not being used after five minutes.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end
of the nozzle should be cleaned
regularly and lubricated with
non-water soluble grease such as
petroleum jelly (not included).
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for
use in unclogging the nozzle. If you
lose the cleaning wire, a straightened
paper clip also works.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned
occurs because the impact force of the
water pressure exceeds the durability of
the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated,
paint can be peeled o, etc. You can
vary the force of your power washer by
controlling:
1. The angle of the surface being
cleaned
2. The distance of the nozzle from the
surface being cleaned
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream
of water on soft surfaces susceptible to
damage.
• Use the 25˚ angle quick connect nozzle
when cleaning windows. Be sure to place
the nozzle approximately 4 to 5 ft. away
from the window with the nozzle at 45°
angle. Squeeze the trigger and vary the
spray pattern and angle until optimum
cleaning eciency is achieved.
Using Power Cord
• Remove the power cord from the unit by
swiveling the cord hook to the right or
left. The power cord then can be slid o
to either side of the power washer unit.
• Swivel cord
hook back
to center
when ready
to wrap the
cord back
into place
for storage.

16 17
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power
washers. Hardware stores or home
centers also have power washer
detergents for dierent cleaning
projects. The cleaning solution should
be the consistency of water in order to
prevent clogging your detergent bottle
and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under
low pressure. The cleaning power of the
detergents is enhanced when applied
with low pressure and enough time is
given to break down dirt and grime.
The combination of low pressure and
chemical action is very eective and
can be better than scrubbing if applied
properly. Always spray detergent on
a dry surface. Do not pre-soak area.
Wetting the surface first dilutes the
detergent and reduces its cleaning
ability. Do not allow detergent to dry
on surface. On vertical surfaces being
cleaned, apply detergent to lower
surfaces and work your way up to
prevent detergent from causing streaks
in the dirt and grime. Rinse detergent
by pressure washing from bottom up
for same reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may
be necessary to reapply the detergent
and use a bristled brush to scrub the
stain. Subsequent power washing after
brushing should successfully complete
your cleaning job.
Cleaning Garden Hose Adapter
• The screens inside the adapter should
be cleaned periodically. Rinse with
clean water, and then place back in the
adapter.
Cleaning Nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle
can cause significant reduction of water
pressure coming out of the nozzle
and/or cause the unit to pulsate while
spraying.
• Turn o the unit.
• Turn o the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the
hose by squeezing the trigger 2 - 3
times, then lock the spray gun by
turning the dial to lock (“3” and “9”
position).
• Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided
(or an unfolded paper clip), insert the
wire into the nozzle hole and move
back and forth until debris is dislodged.
• Back flush water through the nozzles
using garden hose and highest pressure
available (either standard water nozzle
or use your thumb over the nozzle to
create water pressure for back flush).
Storage
• When your pressure washing session
has been completed, turn o the
power switch. Unplug the power cord
from the outlet. Turn o the water
supply. Pull the trigger on the spray
gun 2 - 3 times to drain out the excess
water and to release any remaining
water pressure. Do not allow the power
washer to run with no water flowing
through it.
• Remove detergent tank and clean
completely. Residual chemical will
stick to the container and can cause
the detergent injector to clog and not
function properly.
• Remove high pressure hose from spray
gun and unscrew the other end of the
high pressure hose from the power
washer.
• Remove lance from the gun. Place
the gun in the holder on the side.
Make sure to discard any remaining
detergent from the tank. Flush the tank
and nozzle head with fresh water to
prevent clogging.
• Hook the power cord around the
L-shaped tab on the top of the machine.
• The pressure hose is stored on the hose
hook located on the back of the handle.
• DO NOT store the power washer where
it is exposed to freezing temperatures
unless you use an antifreeze designed
for pumps. It is recommended that
you use this antifreeze (not included)
for storing in freezing temperatures.
Freezing will damage the pump unless
this is added to the power washer. If not
using or if storing your power washer
for more than one month, it is also
recommended that an antifreeze is used
to protect the pump.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

18 19
PUMP SAVER
Pump Saver is a product that protects
and prolongs the life of the pump. This
will keep the internal parts of the pump
lubricated and protected from freezing
while being stored in ALL climates.
It also assists with protection from
internal corrosion. (16 oz. bottle, BE part
number 85.490.046)
Pump Saver Instructions
Follow the previous storage instructions
for your power to prevent staining,
protect the surface under the power
washer from any excess fluid. Wear
ear and eye protection when using this
product.
Turn unit o and disconnect the gun
before adding pump protector. Unscrew
threaded top from bottle to remove seal
and reattach threaded top to bottle.
Remove black cap from bottle.
1) Place top of pump saver bottle
onto the garden hose adapter
previously installed to pressure
washer inlet.
2) Secure pump saver bottle by
turning in a clockwise direction.
3) Turn power on. Turn the power
washer o as soon as the Pump
Savor begins to exit the HP hose.
Note: Instructions on Pump Saver
Bottle are generic and not model
specific
PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
Unit will not turn on. 1. Make sure the power washer is OFF. Plug in the electrical cord to a grounded
120 volt outlet (no electrical extension cord should be used). If the electrical
cord will not plug into your outlet, your electrical outlet is not properly
grounded and should not be used. Use another electrical outlet.
2. If this did not correct the problem, try plugging into another electrical outlet
and repeat the above procedure. If it is still not working, call Customer Service
The high pressure
(HP) hose will
not connect/stay
connected to the
spray gun. Is this a
spray gun problem?
1. In most cases, the spray gun is not the problem. The problem is the rubber
sleeve covering the fitting at the end of the high pressure hose. It has likely
slipped up toward the metal tip. To fix: wiggle, twist and/or pull the rubber
sleeve down until the entire tip is visible plus an 1/8 in. of the metal fitting
below the tip. Now try to insert the hose tip into the spray gun. It should
“click” into place and will not come out until the hose is released by pushing in
the lever on the underside of the gun. You may cut away the end of the sleeve
with a sharp knife if unable to move the sleeve down. Be careful not to cut or
puncture the hose.
The unit is running
but there is no water
flow.
1. Check the water source. Unclog the nozzle on the lance. (See nozzle cleaning
instructions under “Cleaning nozzles”.) Or take o the lance and spray out of
the spray gun. This will indicate if the problem is with the lance.
Why is water
leaking where the
high pressure hose
connects to the spray
gun?
1. Make sure there is an o-ring (included with package contents) at the end of
the metal tip of the high pressure hose. If no o-ring is present, the connection
between the hose and spray gun will leak.
I can’t remove the
lance from the spray
gun. What should
I do?
1. All lances are attached and removed from the spray gun in the same manner.
Insert the end of the lance into the spray gun. Press the spray gun and lance
together (about a 1/8 in.) and turn the collar of the gun clockwise. The lance
will lock in place. Remove the lance by reversing this procedure. Press the
spray gun and lance together and turn counter clockwise. The lance will slide
out.
2. Hold the spray gun and lance in an upright position with the nozzle end on
the floor. Push the whole assembly straight down to loosen the connection,
and then follow the removal process again. You may also spray soapy water or
a lubricant in the area where the lance connects to the spray gun.
The power washer
turns on for
2 seconds, shuts
o, and will not turn
back on. Do I have a
defective unit?
1. When the water is connected, the accessories are assembled properly, and the
power is turned on, the power washer may turn on for 1 - 2 seconds to prime
the pump. It automatically shuts o and waits for the spray gun trigger to be
pressed. When the trigger is pressed, water starts flowing through the pump.
The water sensor in the pump “senses” the moving water and automatically
turns the power washer on.
2. Turn the power o, hold in the trigger on the spray gun so that you have a
steady stream of water. While you are holding the trigger open on the spray
gun, at the same time, turn the power on.
