replacement of the plug or cord is needed, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI
protection.
If product is provided with a GFCI, be sure to inspect cord and GFCI prior to use. Any repair or
replacement of the power cord must be performed by a qualified (licensed or certified) electric techni-
cian.
In a double-insulated product, two Systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means are provided for a double-insulated product, nor should grounding means be added
to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insu-
lated product must be identical to the original parts. A double-insulated product is marked with the
words “Double Insulation "or “Double Insulated.” The symbol may also be marked on the product.
Risk of injection or injury-Do not direct discharge stream at people or animals.

Keep clear of nozzle. NEVER direct high pressure spray at any person, animal or self.
Always wear approved safety glasses or goggles and protective clothing when operating or perform-
ing maintenance.
Never put hand or fingers over the spray tip while operating the unit.
Never try to stop or deflect leaks with any body part.
Always engage the trigger safety latch in the safe position when spraying is stopped even if only for a
few moments.
Always follow detergent manufacturer’s label recommendations for proper use of detergents.Always
protect eyes, skin, and respiratory system from detergent use.
Do not use pressure that exceeds the operating pressure of any of the parts (hoses, fittings, etc.) in
the pressurized system. Ensure all equipment and accessories are rated to withstand the maximum
working pressure of the unit.
NEVER spray flammable liquids or use pressure washer in areas containing combustible dust,liquids
or vapors.
Never operate the machine in a closed building or in or near an explosive environment.
Never disconnect the high pressure discharge hose from the machine while the system is

Before starting a pressure wash cleaning job, it is important to prepare the surface that is to be
cleaned. This is done by clearing the area of furniture, and making sure that all windows and doors are
closed tight. In addition, you should make sure that all plants and trees adjacent to the cleaning area
are protected by a drop cloth. This will ensure that your plants won’t be sprayed by the detergents.
The following cleaning procedure will help you to organize your cleaning task,
and ensure that you achieve the most beneficial results in the shortest amount of
time. Remember to use the spraying/cleaning techniques previously listed.
The next step is to spray the cleaning surface with water to clear off any dirt or grime that may have
collected on the surface. This will allow your detergent to attack the deep down dirt that has worked its
way into the cleaning surface. Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern and
slowly adjust to the desired spray pattern. This will help you avoid applying too much concentrated
spray to the surface which could cause damage.
Start final rinse at bottom and work upward. Make sure you thoroughly rinse the surface and that all
detergent has been removed.
USE THE INSTRUCTIONS APPROPRIATE FOR MODEL PURCHASED
NOTE: Use only detergents formulated for pressure washers.
NOTE: Test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
Units with Detergent Applicator Included
Follow manufacturer’s label directions for mixed correct concentrations of detergent to water ratio
through the pressure washer is approximately 5.4% (1 to 19).
1. Unscrew the top of detergent applicator and fill applicator with detergent.
2. Replace top on applicator.
3. Remove lance from gun.
4. Attach detergent applicator to gun ( See Figure ).
5. Apply detergent so it thoroughly covers cleaning surface. Apply from bottom to top to prevent
detergent from sliding down and streaking.
6. Allow detergent to remain on the surface for a few minutes. This is a good time to use a brush to
lightly scrub heavily soiled areas. Never allow detergent to dry on the cleaning surface.
7. Remove detergent applicator from gun and replace with the lance, or remove applicator from end of
lance.
8. Rinse detergent from surface.

1. Be sure all detergent is flushed from system.
2. Turn off motor.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. After motor and water supply are turned off, trigger gun to depressurize system.
CAUTION: NEVER turn water supply off before turning motor off. Serious damage could occur to the
pump and / or motor.
WARNING! NEVER disconnect high pressure discharge hose from machine while system is pressur-
ized. To depressurize, turn motor off, turn water supply off and squeeze gun trigger 2-3 times.
5. After each use, wipe all surfaces of the pressure washer with a clean, damp cloth.
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 negli-
gence. 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.
MOVING AND 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 tank.
2. Run the Pressure Washer in low pressure until all of the soap is drained from the detergent tank.
3. Pour clear water into the tank and run it through on low pressure as though it were detergent.
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 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.
Do not store pressure washer outdoors.
Do not store pressure washer where it might freeze.
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 high pressure outlet for a few
seconds to rinse the system.
3. Shut off the water.
4. Connect pressure hose to the gun and then lock hose safety device.
TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
1. Never operate unit without water.
2. Pressure washer is not meant to pump hot water. Never connect to hot water supply – this will
significantly reduce life of the pump.

3. Using detergent other than those formulated for pressure washers may cause damage to pump
components (o-rings, etc.).This also applies to chemicals such as bleach, dish soap, etc.
4. Never operate unit for more than one (1) minute without spraying water. Resulting heat buildup will
damage pump.
5. Before adjusting nozzle for pressure (high-to-low or low-to-high) release trigger. Failure to do so will
reduce life of o-rings in lance.
LUBRICATION
This pressure washer does not require any maintenance on the pump or motor. Both assemblies are
pre-lubricated and sealed, requiring no additional lubrication.
NOTE
A small amount of oil leakage is normal. If oil leakage persisits or becomes worse, the unit may need to
be serviced by qualified repair personnel.
WATER INLET SCREEN(FILTER )
The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet screen to protect the pump from foreign debris.
Carefully remove decris from the dull (finger or Q-Tip). Make sure screen is not torn or broken.
WARNING
Do not operate pressure washer without screen filter in place. Impurities entering pressure pump can
cause internal damage.
COOLING SYSTEM
The air louvers,located in and around the pressure washer housing must be kept clean and free of any
obstructions to ensure proper air cooling of the motor and pump during operation.
WATER INLET SCREEN
The water inlet filter must be checked regularly to prevent blockage.( See Figure 1 )
CLEANING PIN MAINTENANCE ( See Figure 1 )
Using included tip cleaner, or an unfolded paper clip, insert wire into the nozzle hole and move back
and forth until debris is dislodged.
Remove additional debris by back-flushing water through the nozzle. To do this, place end of a
garden hose ( with water running ) to the end of nozzle for 30-60 seconds.
