Adjusting Pressure
The unit is equipped with adjustable pressure technology. Use
the adjustable pressure valve to raise or lower pressure. To
increase pressure, twist clockwise; to decrease pressure, twist
counter-clockwise (Fig. 12).
Using Nozzles
Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle
for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.
The nozzle patterns are 40˚ (for gentle cleaning), 25˚ (for
all-purpose cleaning), 15˚ (for tough jobs), 0˚ (for spot cleaning
or hard-to-reach areas) and the Soap nozzle (for detergent
application).
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 five (5) Quick-

2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing
up on the safety lock until it
clicks
into the slot (Fig. 13).
3. Snap the desired nozzle onto the Quick-Connect collar
until it
clicks
into place (Fig. 14).
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning
job is complete:
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
up on the safety lock until it
clicks
into the slot (Fig. 13).
3. Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle
while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.

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. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the solution
bottle.
