When the pressure washing task has been completed, follow the steps below to shut down the unit.
1. Turn off the ON/OFF switch and unplug the power plug from the outlet.
2. Turn off the water supply.

OPERATION
THERMAL PROTECTOR
Your pressure washer is also equipped with a motor thermal protector. When the motor is experiencing overload
and over heats, the thermal protector will trip to shut down and protect the motor. Wait a few minutes for the mo-
tor to cool down and the thermal protector will reset automatically.
PRESSURE WASHING TIPS
1. Before pressure washing any surface, test spray an inconspicuous area. Adjust the spray pattern and spraying
distance to achieve the optimal cleaning result and prevent damaging the surface.
2. Use caution when spraying clipped or peeling paint, as the high pressure may remove the loose paint from the
surface.
3. Pre-rinse the surface with fresh water before applying detergent.
4. When using detergent, follow the instructions that come with your detergent. In general, allow the detergent to
remain on the surface about 1-3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on the surface.
5. Keep the spray nozzle approximately 6 inches from the cleaning surface. The spraying distance may vary ac-
cording to the treated surface (be sure to increase the distance when rinsing sensitive or fragile surfaces). Rinse the
surface in a long sweeping motion.
6. Clean from top to bottom. When moving on to a new section of the cleaning surface, overlap the previous sec-
tion to eliminate stop marks and ensure a more even cleaning result.
7. When pressure washing surfaces that may come in contact with food, flush surfaces with plenty of drinking
water after pressure washing. However, WEN does not recommend eating off of your driveway.
