Operation
IMPORTANT! This pressure washer is
equipped with a micro-switch sensitive to
water flow. This Total Stop System (TSS)
senses water flow in the pump. When the
trigger is released, water stops flowing
through the pump. The TSS then
automatically turns the motor off to protect the
pump from overheating, thus saving energy
and prolonging pump life.
CAUTION! The trigger gun and lance is
affected by a thrust during operation,
therefore always hold it firmly with both hands.
Point the spray gun at the ground.
Check that the machine is in upright position.
Do not place the machine in high grass!
1. Turn the water supply tap on completely.
2. Release the trigger lock.(Fig.11) .Press the
trigger for a few seconds until water flow is
steady. This will allow air to escape and
discharge any residual pressure in the hose.
3. Turn the switch to the ON position to start
the pressure washer (Fig. 12).
Using the nozzles
Before beginning any cleaning task, determine
the best nozzle for the job. Each of the
nozzles has a different spray pattern.
The nozzle patterns are 40˚ (for gentle
cleaning), 25˚ (for all-purpose cleaning), 15˚
(for tough jobs), 0˚ (for spot cleaning or hard-
to-reach areas) and the Soap nozzle (for
detergent application).
CAUTION! NEVER change nozzles without
locking the safety lock on the trigger handle.
WARNING! High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must
not be directed at persons, pets, live electrical
equipment, or the appliance itself.
This electric pressure washer is equipped with
five (5) Quick-Connect nozzles that easily
connect to the spray lance.
To connect a nozzle to the spray lance:
1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the
water supply. Pull the trigger to release water
pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle

nozzle while the trigger is engaged. Doing
so could result in damage to the pressure
washer or injury to the user.
Working with detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer,
some cleaning tasks can be solved with
water alone, but for most tasks cleaning with
detergent allows for more effective dirt
removal.
WARNING! Use only detergents designed
for Pressure Washers. DO NOT USE
household detergents, acids, alkaline
solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable
material, or industrial grade solutions.
These could damage the pressure washer.
Many detergents may require mixing prior
to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as
instructed on the solution bottle.
1.Remove the cap from the detergent
bottle and fill it with detergent designed
specifically for use with pressure washers
(Fig. 14).
2. Install the Soap nozzle (black) on the spray
lance (Fig. 13).
CAUTION! Always test the detergent in an
inconspicuous area before use.
3. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger
to operate the unit. The liquid detergent will
automatically mix with water and be discharged
through the nozzle.
4. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of
the dry surface to be cleaned.
NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not
recommended as it dilutes the detergent and
reduces its cleaning ability.
5. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface
for a short time before rinsing. Do not allow the
detergent to dry on the surface.
CAUTION! Damage may occur to painted
surfaces if the detergent is allowed to dry on the
surface. Wash and rinse a small section at a
time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct
sunlight.
