gun from being triggered accidentally. Push the latch fully up to
engage it (See Figure 17).

OPERATION
! IMPORTANT !
This pressure washer is equipped with a microswitch
sensitive to water flow. This Instant Start/Stop switch
(ISS) senses water flow in the pump. When the trigger is
released, water stops flowing through the pump. The ISS
then automatically turns the motor off to protect pump
from overheating.
OPERATION
1. Turn on water.
2. Pull trigger on gun.
3. Turn the “ON/OFF” switch to “ON”.
4. Release trigger. The pressure washer motor will stop running.
5. To spray again, pull trigger and motor and pump will restart.
NOTE: Occasionally the motor may run for a short time
to bring fresh, cool water into the pump even if trigger is
released. This is part of normal operation and will not damage
the unit.
Always turn the “ON/OFF” switch
to “OFF” then trigger gun to release hose
pressure before unplugging power cord.
Risk of equipment damage. Always
make sure the “ON/OFF” switch on the unit is
“OFF” and unit is unplugged prior to storage.
Risk of Injection. Unit will start
spraying when trigger is squeezed if ON/OFF
switch is in “ON” position. Always point gun in safe direction.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The following cleaning procedure will help you organize your
cleaning task and ensures that you will achieve the best results in
the shortest amount of time. Gallons Per Minute (GPM), the more
water per minute can mean faster cleaning, especially when
washing off materials like mud and road tar. GROUND FAULT
CURRENT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protects user from accidental
electrocution (for electric powered pressure washers only).
Remember to use the spraying / cleaning techniques mentioned
in the following section.
Before starting a pressure washer cleaning job, prepare the
surface you intend to clean. Clear furniture from the area and
make sure that all windows and doors are closed tightly. Also,
protect all plants and trees near the cleaning area with a drop
cloth. A covering ensures that your plants won’t be sprayed by
the detergents.
START UP

started safely and properly.
If water has frozen in the pressure washer, thaw
the pressure washer in a warm room before
starting. DO NOT pour hot water on or into the pump; internal parts will
be damaged.Check for leaks.
1. Ensure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position.
