Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection
This product must be properly grounded. This electric pressure
washer is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). The device will disconnect both power conductors to
the load circuit in the event of an interruption in either or both
supply circuit power conductors. If a malfunction or breakdown
occurs, the GFCI provides protection.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Read the instructions on the plug for
use or see Before Starting Pressure Washer.
Automatic Shut-Off
The pressure washer is equipped with a sensor that will
detect that high pressure water flow has stopped when
releasing or locking the spray gun trigger. The sensor will
cause the motor to shut off for as long as the spray gun
trigger is released or locked.
If the motor continues to run when the spray gun trigger is
released or locked, DO NOT USE THE MACHINE. Call the
pressure washer helpline at [phone] for assistance.
IMPORTANT: The pressure washer is equipped with a main
power ON/OFF switch. The switch should always be moved
to the OFF position when the pressure washer is not being
used to prevent possible damage.
Motor Overload
The electric motor in this pressure washer is equipped with
an overload protection device. This device will automatically
shut off the motor if the motor overheats or draws excessive
current. After a period of time, the device will reset and the
pressure washer can resume normal operation.
Extension Cords
We Do Not recommend the use of extension cords with this
device. If it is necessary to use one, however, then you must
use only extension cords that are approved for outside use.

How to Use the Turbo Nozzle
The turbo nozzle spins a 0° nozzle stream in a circular
pattern, providing an intense wide-spray pattern for scouring
large surface areas fast and efficient.
A turbo nozzle can easily cut through heavy oil and grease
stains on concrete, brick and plastic and strip paint from
various surfaces. DO NOT use the turbo nozzle on delicate
materials, especially wood. Always start the turbo nozzle at a
distance, gradually getting closer to the surface until you get
the cleaning force you want. Always keep the turbo nozzle in
a constant motion. NEVER dwell on a single spot. Pass over
stubborn stains repeatedly until they are gone using even
strokes.
To attach the turbo nozzle to the spray gun:
1. Remove any accessories attached to the spray gun.
2. Attach turbo nozzle extension (A) to spray gun. Tug on
the connection to be sure it is securely attached.
3. For most effective cleaning, keep turbo nozzle from 8 to
24 inches away from cleaning surface. If you get turbo
nozzle too close, you may damage cleaning surface.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the turbo nozzle.
How to Store Reel Handle
The hose reel is equipped with a folding and retracting space
saving handle. To retract the high pressure hose, lift the
handle knob until it snaps in place. Then slide the arm of the
handle out from the housing until it snaps in place.
To store the crank (B), first pull outward and then fold down
the handle knob completely to unlock the arm. Then slide the
arm back into the reel housing.
Other 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 garden hose 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 tires.
How to Store Accessories
The unit is equipped with an accessory tray with places to
store your spray gun and nozzle extensions. Identify all
accessories with the illustrations in Features and Controls.
Cleaning Detergent Supply System
If you use the cleaning tank to dispense detergents, it is
important to flush the system with clean water before storing
the pressure washer. See Maintenance for details.
A
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
The turbo nozzle produces an extremely high
pressure spray which is capable of removing
paint and cutting holes through surfaces if held
too close.
• Always make sure the surface you will clean will not be damaged
by the high pressure spray by testing in a hidden area.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
Before Each Use
1. Clean debris.
2. Check water inlet screen for damage.
3. Check high pressure hose for leaks.
4. Check cleaning tanks for damage.
5. Check spray gun and nozzle extension assembly for
leaks.
6. Rinse out garden hose to flush out debris.
Pressure Washer Maintenance
Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from pressure
washer. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the
pressure washer. These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
Pressure washer parts should be kept clean to reduce the
risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
Check and Clean Water Inlet Screen
Examine water inlet screen (A). Clean if it is clogged or
replace if it is torn.
Check High Pressure Hose
High pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear, kinking,
or abuse. Inspect hose before each use. Check for cuts,
leaks, abrasions, bulging of cover, or damage or movement
of couplings.
Check Gun and Nozzle Extension
Examine hose connection to spray gun and make sure it is
secure. Test trigger lock (red buttion) by pressing it and
making sure it springs back into place when you release it.
With trigger lock in latched position, test gun by squeezing
trigger. You should not be able to press trigger. Replace
spray gun immediately if it fails any of these tests.
The nozzle extensions use o-rings to prevent water leaks.
Normal usage will cause wear on these rings and mating
surfaces.
Nozzle Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun
trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure. The
principal cause of excessive pump pressure is a nozzle
clogged or restricted with foreign materials, such as dirt, etc.
To correct the problem, immediately clean the nozzle
following these instructions:
1. Turn master ON/OFF switch to OFF.(Turn knob fully
counter-clockwise.) Disconnect water supply.
2. Press trigger lock (red button), pull spray gun trigger to
relieve pressure.
3. Remove nozzle extension from spray gun.
4. Use supplied cleaning wire or bent paper clip to free
any foreign material clogging or restricting nozzle.
NOTICE
Improper treatment of pressure washer can damage it and
shorten its life.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.

5. Using a garden hose, remove additional debris by back
flushing water through nozzle extension. Back flush
between 30 to 60 seconds.
6. Reconnect nozzle extension to spray gun.
7. Reconnect water supply, turn on water, and move
master ON/OFF switch to ON.
8. Test pressure washer by operating with nozzle in every
available position.
Pump and Motor Maintenance
This pressure washer does not require any maintenance on
the pump or motor. Both assemblies are pre-lubricated and
sealed, requiring no additional lubrication ever.
Storage
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
“freeze” pump action.
1. Flush detergent system by lifting cleaning tank lid,
removing tank from pressure washer and dumping
solution from tank.
2. Rinse cleaning tank out with fresh clean water. Fill tank
with clean water.
3. Run pressure washer with adjustable nozzle set for low
pressure. Flush for one or two minutes.
4. Dump remaining water out of cleaning tank. Push tank
back into pressure washer base. Reinsert detergent
hose and secure tank lid on tank.
5. Turn master ON/OFF switch to OFF and turn off water
supply. Point gun in a safe direction, press trigger lock
(red button) and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure. After a few moments, release trigger on spray
gun.
6. Disconnect hose from spray gun. Drain water from
hose, gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off
the hose.
7. Rewind high pressure hose onto hose reel.
8. Store unit in a clean, dry area that is protected from
freezing temperatures.
9. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture.
