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 injuries. 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 using the power washer.
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 stabi
lize the gun assembly) until you get used to the “kickback” from the spray
gun.
20. When you press the power switch to turn off the power washer, waterpres
sure may remain in the system. To discharge the pressure, point thespray
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. Dish or laundry soap is too thick and
will clog the nozzle of your detergent bottle.
25. Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to detergent.
26. Warning – If connection is made to a potable water system, the system s
hould be protected against backflow.
CAUTION: Store the power washer indoors to prevent the water in the unit from
expanding under freezing 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.
27. Never use hot water with your power washer. It will overheat and damage
the high pressure pump.
28. Never leave the power washer unattended while it is powered “on”.

29. Always turn the water supply “on ” before turning the power washer power
to “on”. Running the pump dry will cause damage to the internal compo
nents.
30. Never use a water supply to your power washer that exceeds 150 PSI
maximum.
31. Never disconnect the high pressure hose from the power washer while the
system is pressurized.
32. Never permanently engage the trigger mechanism on the spray gun.
33. Never operate the power washer unless all components are properly and
securely connected.
34. Never allow the power washer pump to run for more than one minute after
you have turned off the water supply. This can cause the motor and pump
to overheat and fail.
35. Never use lances or other parts that are not compatible for this specific
ECHO Bear Cat unit.
36. Never use an extension power cord since it defeats the effectiveness of
the GFCI and increases the chance of electrocuting the operator.
37. Never spray any electrical outlet with your power washer.
38. Inspect the power cord before using. Do not use it if it is damaged.

• When using the turbo lance, make sure the turbo nozzle is
screwed on tight at the end of the lance, each time you use
it. The Turbo lance is designed for high impact cleaning. Only
use on hard surfaces such as driveways, cement surfaces,
patio bricks, etc. A test strip should be done prior to avoid
chance of damaging the surface.
• When using the adjustable spray lance, the spray pattern
and intensity can be controlled according to power of water
needed for each task by twisting the spray nozzle at the far
end of the lance (Fig. 7). These can be used for sweeping
the widest variety of applications as the fan degree allows for
good impact pressure and cleaning coverage.

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 off, etc. You can vary the force of your power washer
by controlling:
othe fan pattern of the nozzle (when using the adjustable
nozzle).
othe angle of the surface being cleaned.
othe distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned.
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the
turbo lance on soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
• Use the adjustable spray lance when cleaning windows. Be
sure to adjust the nozzle to a wide fan spray pattern and
the trigger and vary the fan spray pattern and angle until

• When using the detergent bottle, our power washer’s
application ratio of water to detergent is 10:1 or 10 parts
water to 1 part detergent. You will need to adjust the
concentration ratio of the detergent, according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The
cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced when applied
with low pressure; and time is allowed to break down the dirt
and grime. The combination of low pressure and chemical
action is very effective and can be better than scrubbing if
applied properly. Always spray detergent on a dry surface,
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 stiff bristled brush to scrub the
stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing should
successfully complete your cleaning job.
STORAGE
• When your pressure washing session has been completed,
turn off the power switch located on the back of the power
washer. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Turn off the
water supply. Pull the trigger on the spray gun 2-3 times

TRO UBLESHOOTING AND FAQS
Unit will not turn on. Make sure the power washer is in the “OFF” position. 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.
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 at 1-866-235-5112.
The high pressure (HP)
hose will not connect /
stay connected to the
spray gun. Is this a
spray gun problem?
In most cases, the spray gun is not the problem. The problem is the
or pull the rubber sleeve down until the entire tip is visible plus an 1/8”
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
Check the water source. Unclog the nozzle on the lance. (See nozzle
cleaning instructions under “Cleaning nozzles”.) Or take off the lance
and just 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?
Make sure there is an o-ring 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. O-Ring Kits are available online at www.
arblueclean.com or call Customer Service at 1-866-235-5112 to place
an order.
I can’t remove the lance
from the spray gun.
What should I do?
All lances and the detergent tank are attached and removed from the
spray gun in the same manner. Insert the quick-release end of the
lance/detergent bottle into the spray gun. Press the spray gun and
lance together (about a 1/8”) and turn 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. Or, hold the spray gun and lance in an upright position
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
off, and will not turn

switch is turned on, the power washer may turn on for 1 - 2 seconds to
prime the pump. It automatically shuts off and waits for the spray gun

Make sure the power washer is in the “OFF” position. 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. If it is still not working, call
