Unpacking & Assembly • After unpacking the BLUE CLEAN POWER WASHER, lay out parts and accessories. Familiarize yourself with the parts in the package by comparing them to those listed on the “PACKAGE CONTENTS” page. • The BLUE CLEAN POWER WASHER requires some minor assembly. You’ll need a Phillips screwdriver to install the high pressure hose hook and the nozzle tray. NOTE: Some parts may or may not be already assembled. • High pressure hose is stored on the hose reel.
High Pressure Hose • Screw the high pressure hose (clockwise) on the left of the unit at the bottom (Fig. 4). Pull back the collar and insert o-ring post into the water outlet far enough so the collar can thread onto the outlet threads until hand tight. Do not use pliers or vice grips to tighten. If it takes fewer than six or so turns you have not properly tightened the high pressure hose fitting. It is easier to position the power washer in front of you so to ensure that the threads are started correctly.
Spray Gun • To lock the trigger of the spray gun pointing the gun away from you and push the lock button front to lock, (Fig. 7), after doing so, squeeze or pull the trigger to make sure it is locked and will not move. Always leave lock button in lock position when not in use. This ensures the gun is in “safe” mode until it is ready for use. Trigger Lock Trigger Unlock Fig. 7 Fig.

(Fig. 11) Fig. 11 IMPORTANT NOTE: When applying detergent use the soap nozzle. • When using the detergent, fill it with a properly formulated detergent or cleaner with water ratio according to instructions on the container (Fig. 12).

The power switch has international symbols for ‘on’ and ‘off’: On (|) Off (O), (Fig. 19). • Unwind the power cord completely and plug the GFCI into a grounded 120 volt outlet. Press the ‘reset’ button on the GFCI box (Fig. 20). The indicator window should show a red color.
How To Clean Cleaning nozzles • A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause significant reduction of water pressure coming out of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while spraying. • Turn off the unit • Turn off the water supply to the unit • Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by squeezing the trigger 2-3 times, and then lock the spray gun by pushing the lock button from left to right. • The screens inside the adapter should be cleaned periodically.
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the turbo lance on soft surfaces susceptible to damage. • Use the 25° angle quick connect nozzle when cleaning windows. Be sure to 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. Detergent Injector/Storage • Use detergents designed for power washers.
Storage • Remove lance from the gun and place in the accessory holder. Place the gun in the accessory holder one the side. Lances are placed into any of the slots in the back of the unit. Make sure to discard any remaining detergent from the tank. Flush the tank and nozzle head with fresh water to prevent clogging. • When your pressure washing session has been completed, turn off the power switch located on the front of the power washer. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Turn off the water supply.
