Stop Pressure Washer
The electric pressure washer motor runs only when the
trigger is engaged. To stop the electric pressure washer
and turn off the motor:
1. Release spray gun trigger.
2. Press master ON/OFF switch to OFF (0) position.
NOTICE Releasing the trigger will shut off the motor but
does not shut off electrical power to the unit.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press
trigger lock button and squeeze trigger to relieve built
up pressure in the unit.
5. Disconnect GFCI plug from outlet.
Spray Tips
There are three spray tips supplied with the pressure
washer. The turbo spray tip whirls a powerful pin-point jet
of water for intense cleaning. The soap tip is for general
soap applications, and the high pressure tip is for various
high pressure applications.
Usage Tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray tips
8 - 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
• If spray tips get too close, especially using a high
pressure spray trip, you may damage surface being
cleaned.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
Applying Detergent
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review use of spray tips in Spray Tips.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job to be
performed.
3. Place detergent siphoning tube into detergent container.
4. Install soap tip.
NOTICE Detergent cannot be applied with turbo or high
pressure spray tips.
5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray
gun and high pressure outlet. Turn on water.
NOTICE You must attach all hoses before you start the
pressure washer.
6. Start the pressure washer as instructed in Start
Pressure Washer.
7. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward using
long, even, overlapping strokes.
8. Allow detergent to “soak in” for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent
surface from drying. To prevent streaking, Do Not
allow detergent to dry on surface.
NOTICE Flush detergent and siphoning system after each
use by placing tube into a bucket of clean water, then run
pressure washer with soap tip for 1-2 minutes.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces could cut through skin
and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor
is stopped and water is disconnected, which could result
in serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and
spray gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, squeeze
spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every time
you turn off pressure washer.
WARNING Chemical Burn Hazard.
Chemicals could cause burns resulting
in death or serious injury.
• Always wear indirect vented (chemical splash) safety
goggles marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when using
chemicals.
• DO NOT substitute safety glasses or dry-condition
goggles for indirect vented safety goggles.
• DO NOT use caustic liquid with electric pressure washer.
• Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/soaps.
