2020111765 Flow MaxTM 40V Portable Power Cleaner
Introduction
The LCI Flow Max40V Portable Power Cleaner
is a portable power tool that provides the ease and
convenience to effectively clean all of your marine and land
products.
The rechargeable 40V (2.0 Ah) lithium ion battery pack
generates enough high pressure at 520psi to tackle the
dirtiest jobs, yet when selecting the low pressure setting for
320psi, those routine cleanings become a breeze.

(For Aftermarket Applications)
Selecting Modes
Battery pack should be disconnected prior to selecting
appropriate operational mode. This is to ensure safety
and limit unintentional use while the nozzle is pointed at
the user.
1. Press the trigger lock (Fig.13A) located on the left side
of the handle assembly’s trigger. This will push the lock
button outward on the other (right) side of the trigger,
resting against the handle to prevent the trigger from
unintentionally activating.
A. Zero-degree (0°) mode emits a single, steady stream
of water that should only be used on hard surfaces, such
as concrete or steel.
B. Twenty-degree (20°) mode emits a horizontal, 20-deg
spread of water.
C. Twenty-degree angle (20°) mode emits a horizontal,
downward 20-deg spread of water.
D. Forty-degree (40°) mode emits a horizontal, 40-deg
spread of water.
E. Foam mode pulls material from the additive bottle and
mixes it with the supply water to emit a foamy spray.
NOTE: Material inside the additive bottle is only dispensed
when the power cleaner is set in Foam or Shower mode.
Material will NOT be dispensed through any other mode
setting.
F. Shower mode pulls material from the additive bottle
(when attached) and mixes it with the supply water to emit
a foamy spray in a cone-shaped stream of multiple water
jets, much like a bathroom shower head.
NOTE: LCI does NOT recommend using the additive bottle
in Shower mode.
3. If using the 360-degree nozzle, make sure the nozzle
end is pointed straight out prior to operating.
NOTE: The 360-deg nozzle is best used to clean difficult
to reach areas, such as tough corners, tire rims and
wheel wells. The nozzle end can pivot 180 degrees and
when adjusted by rotating the wand, 360-deg capability
is achieved.
DO NOT USE ZERO DEGREE SETTING ON PAINTED
OBJECTS, SOFT WOOD SURFACES OR THIN PLASTIC
OR FABRIC SURFACES. WATER PRESSURE AT ZERO
SETTING ON SUCH SURFACE AND MATERIAL CAN
CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE. SELECT A LOWER
PRESSURE AND WIDER SPRAY SETTING TO CLEAN
SUCH SURFACES AND MATERIALS.
DO NOT DIRECT OPERATING POWER CLEANER
NOZZLE AT PEOPLE OR PETS. THE WATER PRESSURE
JET STREAM CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY TO
UNPROTECTED FACIAL AND EXPOSED SKIN AND
SEVERE DAMAGE TO PETS.
DO NOT OPERATE NEAR AN ELECTRICAL POWER
SOURCE SUCH AS AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET OR
WIRING. SPRAY CONTACTING ACTIVE ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY FROM
AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR BURN.
2. With the 6-position nozzle attached, select an
operational mode by rotating the end of the wand assembly
to the desired mode.

Installation and Owner’s Manual
(For Aftermarket Applications)
Designate the intended location/object on which to use the
power cleaner, then visually verify that no people, pets or
active electrical power sources or exposed electrical wiring
are within range of potential water flow or overspray.
With the trigger lock still activated, press the trigger lock
button located on the right side of the trigger.
NOTE: The trigger lock must be activated prior to any
operation to prevent accidental use.
1. With the nozzle pointed in a safe direction, squeeze the
trigger to identify the current pressure setting.
2. If necessary, select the appropriate pressure mode for
the designated task by pressing the pressure selector
button located on the top of the handle assembly.
NOTE: The pressure selector button is marked AUTO and
ECO. AUTO is the high pressure mode and ECO is the low
pressure mode. The last selected pressure mode remains
in effect until the selector button is pressed again.
A. AUTO (high pressure) mode; develops 520 psi
at 0.67 gpm flow. When in AUTO mode, the power
cleaner will run for approximately 18 minutes and
use approximately 10 gallons of water; dispensing at
approximately 0.55 gpm.
B. ECO (low pressure) mode; develops 320 psi at
0.53 gpm flow. When in ECO mode, the power cleaner will
run for approximately 25 minutes and use approximately
12 gallons of water; dispensing at approximately
0.47 gpm.
Disassembly
Prior to storing the power cleaner, do as follows;
1. Engage the trigger lock.
2. Remove water supply line from water source. Inspect
water lter for debris.
A. If debris present, remove filter to clean out debris.
B. Reinstall filter onto water supply hose.
3. Remove water supply hose from nozzle.
A. Look for arrows on water supply hose quick disconnect.
B. Squeeze arrows and slide quick disconnect downward
to disengage connector from water inlet nipple.
4. When viewing power cleaner from the orientation
shown in gure 10, twist the additive bottle to the right to
disengage the bottle from the nozzle..
5. Set power cleaner mode to Foam and pressure to
ECO (low).
Battery
1. Make sure the rechargeable 2.0 Ah lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery is fully charged.
NOTE: When the battery is fully charged, three indicator
lights will come on solid (no flashing). When charging,
indicator lights will flash.
2. Make sure the trigger lock is still in its locked position.
3. Install battery. Refer to Battery Pack procedure in the
Assembly section.
Water Supply
Place the water supply line, with particle filter attached, into
a clean water source.
Using the Power Cleaner
DO NOT DIRECT OPERATING POWER CLEANER
NOZZLE AT PEOPLE OR PETS. THE WATER PRESSURE
