Before starting the motor:
Connect the garden hose (or the siphon hose when using
a non-pressurized water source).
NOTE:
Make sure the pressure washer’s water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting.
Turn on the garden hose then pull the trigger to relieve air
pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream of water
appears or submerge the siphon hose into the fresh water
source.
NOTE:
Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the garden hose. If using the
siphon hose, make sure the filter is submerged completely
under the surface of the water.
To start the motor:
With the on/off switch in the off position ( O ), install the
battery pack(s) as previously described.
Put the on/off switch in the on position ( I ) to start the
motor.
To stop the motor:
Put the on/off switch in the off position (O).
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
NOTE:
The pressure washer may be on and the system
may have pressure even when the pump and/or motor
cannot be heard running. Always use caution around the
pressure washer.
USING BOOST MODE
See Figure 13.
Boost mode gives a temporary increase in water pressure
to accommodate tougher cleaning tasks. Once activated,
boost mode will automatically cycle off after 8 minutes, or
you may press the boost button again to return to normal
operation prior to that time. After a full cycle of boost mode,
8 minutes of normal operation or rest is required before boost
mode can be repeated. If you press the boost button before
then, the LED on the button will flash to indicate that boost
mode is not yet available.
