• 

Connect the other end of the high pressure hose to the 

spray gun by inserting the brass metal tip of the high 

pressure hose into the fitting just ahead of the trigger 

guard. It will lock into the spray gun with a “click” (Fig 5). 

Confirm the hose is locked into the spray gun by pulling 

slightly on the hose. The hose is now securely attached to 

the spray gun.

• 

 To release the hose from the spray gun, press the blue 

button on the underside of the gun toward the trigger 

guard. The hose will slide out from the connection. 

Spray Gun

• 

To lock the trigger of the spray gun aim the gun away 

from you and push the lock button from right to left, (Fig. 

6), after doing so, squeeze or pull the trigger to make sure 

it is locked and will not move. Get in the habit of leaving 

the lock button in the “locked” position when the power 

washer is not in use. This ensures the gun is in “safe” 

mode until it is ready for use. 

Lance and Detergent bottle

• 

While the spray gun is in the locked position, insert 

the turbo lance, the adjustable spray lance, or the 

detergent bottle directly into the end of the spray gun 

by inserting and pushing together and turning clockwise 

simultaneously. To remove push together and turn counter 

clockwise (Fig. 7). Push the safety lock button to lock 

the trigger when changing lances or detergent bottle, 

to ensure that they do not accidentally eject with force 

during removal. 

• 

When using the turbo lance, make sure the turbo nozzle 

is screwed on tight at the end of the lance, each time 

you use it. The Turbo lance is designed for high impact 

cleaning. Only use on hard surfaces such as driveways, 

cement surfaces, patio bricks, etc. A test strip should be 

done prior to avoid chance of damaging the surface. 

• 

When using the adjustable spray lance, the spray pat-

tern and intensity can be controlled according to power of 

water needed for each task by twisting the spray nozzle 

at the far end of the lance (Fig. 8).  These can be used for 

sweeping leaves or debris from flat surfaces or curbing. 

This lance has the widest variety of applications as the 

fan degree allows for good impact pressure 

and

 cleaning 

coverage.

• 

When using the detergent bottle, fill it with a properly 

formulated detergent or cleaner with water ratio according 

to instructions on the container (Fig. 9). The detergent 

bottle comes with a straw which is fitted into the screw-on 

top.  If you don’t see the straw, look inside the bottle and 

attach  it  to  the  screw-on  top  (Fig.  10).
