Check Spray Gun
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make
sure it is secure. Test the trigger (A) by pressing the trigger
lock button (B) and making sure the trigger “springs back”
into place when you release it. You should not be able to
press the trigger without pressing the trigger lock button.
Replace spray gun immediately if it fails any of these tests.
Spray Tip Maintenance
Excessive pump pressure can cause a pulsing sensation felt
while squeezing the spray gun trigger. The principal cause
of excessive pump pressure is a clogged or restricted spray
tip with foreign materials such as dirt, etc. A clogged spray
tip could lead to pump cycling ON/OFF or not turning on
even when there is some flow.
To correct the problem, immediately clean the spray tip by
following these instructions:
1. Press the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0)
position. Remove power cord plug from electrical outlet.
2. Disconnect water supply at the electric pressure washer.
3. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press
trigger lock button and squeeze spray gun trigger to
release retained high water pressure.
4. Remove spray tip from end of plastic wand.
5. Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material
clogging or restricting any of the spray tips.
6. Using a garden hose, remove additional debris by
back flushing water through plastic wand. Back flush
between 30 to 60 seconds.
7. Reinstall spray tip into plastic wand.
8. Reconnect plastic wand to spray gun.
9. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray
gun. Turn on water.
10. Plug power cord into electrical outlet and press master
ON/OFF switch to the ON (I) position.
11. Test the electric pressure washer by operating with
each spray tip.
Pump and Motor Maintenance
The electric pressure washer does not require any
maintenance to the pump or motor. Both assemblies
are pre-lubricated and sealed, requiring no additional
lubrication ever.
After Each Use
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and “freeze”
pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
1. Press master ON/OFF switch to OFF (0) position.
Remove power cord plug from electrical outlet.
2. Turn off water supply. Point gun in a safe direction,
press trigger lock button, and squeeze trigger to
relieve trapped pressure.
3. Disconnect garden hose from water inlet. Disconnect
high pressure hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet.
4. Drain water from hose and spray gun, then use a cloth
or equivalent to wipe off exterior surfaces.
5. Drain water from pump by tipping unit onto its front
side (water inlet facing down) for two minutes. Flip
unit over and let rest on high pressure outlet for an
additional two minutes.
6. Wrap high pressure hose around hook on back of unit.
7. Coil and store power cord. Store spray gun, plastic
wand and spray tips in places as illustrated in
Features and Controls.
8. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
9. If storing for more than 30 days see Storage.
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.
