This instruction manual contains important information about product safety. Keep the instruction manual available for others to read before they use the Pressure Washer. Improper maintenance and operation are responsible for the majority of accidents involving Pressure Washers.
SAFETY WARNINGS READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING PRESSURE WASHER. GENERAL SAFETY RULES People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker. WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Always make sure the tool is in the OFF position when making adjustments, changing parts, or performing any maintenance. Service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury. Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Store all maintenance tools away from the immediate area before turning ON the tool.
NEVER place hands in front of nozzle. NEVER attempt to attach or remove spray wand or hose fittings while Pressure Washer system is pressurized. DO NOT treat fluid injection injuries as a simple cut. Seek immediate medical attention. HIGH VELOCITY fluid spray can cause objects to break, propelling particles at high speeds. ALWAYS wear approved safety glasses when using or doing maintenance on Pressure Washers. ALWAYS wear protective clothing to prevent accidental spraying.
NEVER cut or splice the power cord or extension cords. DO NOT spray electrical apparatus and wiring. WEAR rubber-soled tennis shoes or other footwear that provides some insulation when operating the Pressure Washer. COLD water use only. FOR EITHER INDOOR OR OUTDOOR USE. Store indoors. DO NOT direct spray toward electrical outlets, switches or products connected to electrical service.
GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT - INTERRUPTER PROTECTION This Pressure Washer is provided with a Ground-Fault CircuitInterrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.

ASSEMBLY & SETUP This Pressure Washer requires some assembly. If you have any problems with the assembly of your Pressure Washer, please call the Pressure Washer helpline at 1-888-278-8092. If calling for assistance, please have the model, revision, and serial number from the data tag available. 1. Using a box cutter, cut open the Pressure Washer carton on top. 2. Carefully remove all items from the box and inspect for completeness (see Functional Description).
1. Before connecting the garden hose to the Pressure Washer, connect the garden hose to the water source and run water through the hose to flush out any debris. Shut off the water at the source. 2 3 2. Attach garden hose to the Pressure Washer coupling inlet at the lower front of the unit. Ensure that the threads are aligned properly and that the connection is secure. Securely tighten the nut by hand. 3. Turn on the water source. For best result, use a short garden hose (30 ft.
OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER ALWAYS wear approved safety glasses when operating Pressure Washers. Spray can splash back or propel objects, including incorrectly attached accessories. The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to possible amputation. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when the motor is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury. Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall. 1.
WATER FLOW ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTING FOR FAN PATTERN The angle of spray coming out of the nozzle may be adjusted by rotating the front of the nozzle (cone). This will vary the spray pattern from approximately a 0° narrow high impact stream (by turning the nozzle fully to the left) to a 60° wide fan spray (by turning the nozzle fully to the right). A narrow stream has high impact force on the cleaning surface and results in maximum deep cleaning in a concentrated area.
• If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure mode, you may damage surface being cleaned. • DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires. SHUTTING DOWN THE PRESSURE WASHER The Pressure Washer motor runs only when the trigger is engaged. To shut off the Pressure Washer: 1. Release spray gun trigger. 2. Move unit's ON/OFF switch to OFF position. IMPORTANT: Releasing the trigger will shut off the motor but does not shut off electrical power to the unit. 3. Turn off water supply. 4.
Wetting the surface first is not recommended, as it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability. 7. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent surface from drying. Do Not allow detergent to dry on surface (prevents streaking). TO RINSE: 1. Reset the Pressure Adjust Collar to high pressure, press the trigger and wait for the detergent to clear. 2. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you plan to spray. 3.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain the Pressure Washer. All service and adjustments should be made at least one time each season. It is important that the maintenance chart below be followed. MOVING AND STORAGE After each application or winter storage follow these instructions: 1. When finished using the Pressure Washer, you must first drain and rinse the detergent tank. 2. Run the Pressure Washer in low pressure until all of the soap is drained from the detergent tank.
2. Set the nozzle to high pressure setting to make the nozzle hole accessible. 3. Clear blockage in nozzle by inserting the nozzle cleaning needle (provided) through center hole. 4. After cleaning, remove the needle from nozzle and store for future use. LUBRICATION This Pressure Washer does not require any maintenance on the pump or motor. Both assemblies are pre-lubricated and sealed, requiring no additional lubrication. A small amount of oil leakage is normal.
