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 power
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 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.
• Use the variable spray 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.
