8. When re-starting the pressure washer, always keep the
trigger pressed.
NOTE: The pump only runs when the trigger is pulled and
shuts off when the trigger is released.
Using Nozzles
Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle
for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.
25˚ (for all-purpose cleaning), 0˚ (for spot cleaning or hard-to-
reach areas) and the turbo nozzle (for heavy dirt and grime).
m
CAUTION!
NEVER change nozzles without locking the
safety lock on the trigger handle.

WARNING!
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if
subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
pets, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.
This electric pressure washer is equipped with two Quick-
Connect nozzles that easily snap onto the Quick-Connect
collar of the spray wand.
To use a Quick-Connect nozzle on the spray wand:
1.
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing
down on the safety lock into the slot on the handle
(Fig. 13).
3.
Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 15):

I) The 0º intense-jet nozzle (red) is an extremely powerful
nozzle that delivers a high-pressure, pencil-point jet
stream. It is used to cut heavy dirt deposits in a small,
concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving stubborn
substances, like tar and grease spots on concrete,
or for removing caked mud from equipment. Use this
nozzle to clean hard-to-reach areas including the
façades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of lawn
mowers and tractors.
NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the
right nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or
damaging fragile surfaces.
II) Use the 25º fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home
siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or
sidewalks. When using this nozzle, test a small area
first to avoid surface damage.
III) The rotary turbo nozzle automatically spins a zero
degree spray in a circle at high speed. The spinning
water jet hits the surface area from multiple angles,
quickly breaking down caked-on dirt and grime. The
turbo nozzle can cut cleaning time by up to 40%.
4. Snap the desired nozzle onto the Quick-Connect collar
until it
clicks
into place (Fig. 16).
5. To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand, repeat steps
1 and 2, then pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar
and pull out the nozzle.

WARNING!
Do not make changes to the nozzle while
the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the
pressure washer or injury to the user.
Working with Detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks
can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning
with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.
m
WARNING!
Use only detergents specifically designed
for use with pressure washers, such as Sun Joe
®
HOUSE +
DECK WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe
®
SNOW FOAM AUTO
WASH (SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe
®
HEAVY DUTY CLEANER
(SPX-APC1G).
DO NOT USE household detergents, acids,
alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or
industrial grade solutions. These could damage the pressure
washer.
