Operation Tips
• Note:
Test the GFCI before each use:
1. Plug GFCI into power outlet. Indicator should turn
green to show that cord has power.
2. Press test button, green indicator should turn off
to verify that GFCI cut off power to the cord.
3. Press reset button – green indicator should turn
on to show that cord has power again.
4. When GFCI is working properly, green indicator
will turn on when power is applied. If green
indicator turns off, it has detected electric leakage
and the GFCI cut off power to theappliance.
• 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 power

• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging
the lance 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 power 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.

windows. Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray

achieved.
Using Power Cord
• Easily remove the power cord from side of unit by
swiveling the bottom red 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 red cord hook back down when ready to wrap
the cord back into place for storage.
Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers. These
can be purchased online at our website www.
arblueclean.com. Hardware stores or home centers
also have power washer detergents for different
cleaning projects. The cleaning solution should be the
consistency of water in order to prevent clogging your
detergent bottle and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure.
The cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced
when applied with low pressure and enough time is
given to break down dirt and grime. The combination
of low pressure and chemical action is very effective
and can be better than scrubbing if applied properly.
ALWAYS
spray detergent on a dry surface.

the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
DO
NOT
allow detergent to dry on surface. On vertical
surfaces being cleaned, apply detergent to lower
surfaces and work your way up to prevent detergent
from causing streaks in the dirt and grime. Rinse
detergent by pressure washing from bottom up for
same reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to
reapply the detergent and use a bristled brush to scrub
the stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing
should successfully complete your cleaning job.
