This power tool is equipped with a polarized plug in which one prong is wider
than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The
plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Montgomery Ward can
not accept any liability for damage or injury resulting from failure to observe these
safety procedures.

How to Use How to Use
SAFETY DEVICES:
• The pressure washer has a valve that will automatically reduce the pressure if
pressure exceeds pre-set values.
• The spray gun features a trigger safety lock. When the safety is activated, the
trigger gun will not operate.
GETTING STARTED:
1. Assemble the storage hooks on
the sides of the machine.
2. Screw the water inlet coupling
tight onto the water inlet.
THE FILTER WITH GASKET MUST
ALWAYS BE POSITIONED IN THE
COUPLING TO FILTER OUT SAND,
LIMESTONE AND OTHER
IMPURITIES, AS THESE WILL
DAMAGE THE PUMP VALVES.
(continued on next page)
3. Connect a standard garden hose to the pressure washer. Any standard ½”–¾”
hose of 10-25’ is suitable.
IMPORTANT! Let the water run through the garden hose (until clear)
before connecting to the pressure washer to prevent sand
and other impurities from entering the machine.
4. Attach the high pressure hose to the spray gun and then
to the water outlet connector on the
pressure washer. (Detach the high
pressure hose by pressing
(A) and (B).)
5. Push the wand into the spray gun.
When inserted, turn it. Make sure the
wand is properly attached to the
gun, then attach the nozzle to the
wand.
Ne: When attaching the nozzle, the button on the nozzle should pop out
again. Check before pressing the trigger that the nozzle is properly
inserted and the button has popped back out. Pull outward on the
nozzle to ensure it is locked in place.
6. Turn on the water from garden hose tap.
• A thermal sensor protects the motor against overloading. The machine will
automatically shut down, then automatically restart after a few minutes
(when the thermal sensor has cooled).

How to UseHow to Use
WARNING: When the machine is turned on, the interior pump starts and
continues to run even if the trigger has not been depressed.
Running the machine without depressing the trigger could
cause heat damage to the motor and pumps. Do NOT leave the
machine running unattended at any time.
OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER:
1. Plug the pressure washer plug into an electrical outlet.
2. The spray gun can “kick” when operated. Hold firmly with both hands and
point the nozzle at the ground.
3. Ensure the machine is in an upright position and all air vents are clear. This
pressure washer needs air circulation!
4. PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED BEFORE TURNING ON the pressure washer.
Before each use, release the trigger safety lock, and squeeze the trigger; let the
water run until all air has escaped from the water hose. Release the trigger.
5. Turn on the pressure washer.
6. Squeeze the trigger to dispense pressurized water. Adjust the distance and the
pressure of the nozzle to the surface you are cleaning.
(continued on next page)
7. When the trigger is released, the machine automatically stops. The pressure
washer will start again when you re-activate the trigger.
8. When finished using the pressure washer, turn o.
9. Disconnect the plug from the outlet (do not pull on cord).
10. Shut o the water supply (from the tap) and squeeze the trigger of the spray
gun to release remaining water and pressure.
11. Lock the trigger safety lock.
WARNING: The pressure for the multi nozzle can be adjusted by
turning the nozzle. Do NOT adjust the nozzle while pressure
washer is operating, as injury to hands can occur.
SOAP FOAM SPRAYER:
1. Unscrew the top (the foam sprayer) from the container.
2. Add soap (deck wash, siding wash, etc.) to the container and screw the top
back on.
3. The foam sprayer is equipped with a quick connector. The nozzle end of the
wand inserts into the connector. When the soap foam sprayer is properly
attached to the wand, the coupling button should pop out again.
4. The foam sprayer has its own nozzle.
5. Adjust the amount of soap dispensed by turning the knob clockwise for less
(if you turn the knob all the way to close, only water will be dispensed) or
counter-clockwise for more soap.
WARNING: When the machine is running, maintain a constant water
supply. Without water circulation the sealing rings of the
pressure washer can be damaged.
