How to Stop Your Electric Pressure Washer

The electric pressure washer motor runs only when the 

trigger is engaged. To stop the electric pressure washer 

and turn off the motor:

  1.  Release spray gun trigger.

  2.  Turn master ON/OFF switch to OFF (0) position.

NOTICE

   Releasing the trigger will shut off the motor but 

does not shut off electrical power to the unit.

  3.  Turn off water supply.

  4.  ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press 

trigger lock button and squeeze trigger to relieve built 

up pressure in the unit.

  5.  Disconnect GFCI plug from outlet.

How to Use Spray Tips

The quick–connect on the spray wand allows you

to switch between four different quick connect spray

tips. Spray tips can be changed while pressure washer

is running once spray gun trigger lock is engaged. 

Follow these instructions to change spray tips:

  1.  Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current 

spray tip off. Store spray tips in holder provided on the 

spray wand.

  2.  Select desired spray tip.

    •   For intense cleaning, whirls a powerful pin-point jet of 

water, select turbo spray tip (if equipped).

   • 

 

 For general rinsing, ideal for most all purpose 

cleaning such as home siding, brick patios, wood 

decks, driveways and sidewalks, garage floors, 

etc., select 15° yellow spray tip.

   • 

 

For gentle cleaning of cars/trucks, boats, RV’s, 

patio furniture, lawn equipment, etc., select 25° 

green spray tip.

    •   To apply detergent, applies project specific 

cleaners to help break down stubborn dirt and 

grime on a variety of surfaces, select black 

detergent spray tip.

  3.  Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release 

collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in 

place.

Usage Tips

  •  For most effective cleaning, keep nozzle from 8 to 

24 inches away from cleaning surface.

  •  If you get nozzle too close, especially using a high 

pressure spray pattern spray tip, you may damage 

surface being cleaned.

  •  Do Not get closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when 

cleaning tires.

 

WARNING

  The high pressure stream of water that 

this equipment produces could cut through skin 

and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious 

injury and possible amputation. 

Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor 

is stopped and water is disconnected, which could result 

in serious injury.

•  Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and 

spray gun while system is pressurized.

•  ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, squeeze 

spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every time 

you turn off pressure washer.

 WARNING   

The high pressure stream of water that 

this equipment produces could cut through 

skin and its underlying tissues, resulting in 

serious injury and possible amputation.

•  NEVER exchange nozzles without the trigger lock 

being engaged on the spray gun.

•  DO NOT twist nozzles while spraying.
