OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operation Tips
• If you hear the motor run intermittently when the trigger
is not being squeezed, that is normal.
The pump is priming itself so it is ready to operate when
the trigger is squeezed. Turn off the pressure washer if
not being used after five minutes.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the nozzle lance
should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-
water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging
the nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire, a straightened
paper clip also works.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because
the impact force of the water pressure exceeds the
durability of the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated;
paint can be peeled off, etc. You can vary the force of
your pressure washer by controlling:
1. The angle of the surface being cleaned
2. The distance of the nozzle from the surface being
cleaned
•
NEVER
use a narrow high pressure stream of water on
soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
• Use the high/low nozzle lance when cleaning windows.
Be sure to adjust the nozzle to low spray and place
the nozzle approximately four to five feet away from
the window with the nozzle at forty five degree angle.
Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray pattern and
angle until optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved.
Using Power Cord
• Easily remove the power cord from side of unit by
swiveling the bottom blue cord hook to the right or left
until it faces up. The power cord then can be easily slid
off of the side of the power washer unit.
• Swivel blue, cord hook back down when ready to wrap
the cord back into place for storage.
• The pressure washer will draw detergent when the
adjustable nozzle head is moved forward to low
pressure mode.
