IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read all of the safety precautions before operating this machine every time. Please pay particular attention to all sections with following symbols. WARNING Could cause injury or death if not followed CAUTION Could damage machine if not followed WARNING When using this product, basic precautions should always be followed, including: Read all instructions before using the product. To reduce the risk of injury, do not operate the machine near children.
• Do not use acids, alkaline, solvents or any flammable material in this product. These products can cause physical injuries to the operator and irreversible damage to the machine. WARNING Risk of Electric Shock • Inspect cord before using - do not use if cord is damaged. • Keep all connections dry and off the ground. • Do not touch plug with wet hands. CAUTION Gun Kick Back • Hold with both hands. • The trigger gun safety lock prevents the trigger from being engaged accidentally.
15. Do not spray electrical apparatus and wiring or the machine itself. 16. Do not operate the pressure washer with the inlet water filter screen removed. Keep filter clear of debris and sediment. 17. Discharge residual pressure by depressing the trigger until no more water comes out of the nozzle. 18. Keep clear of nozzle. Never direct high pressure spray at any person, animal or self. 19.
SAFETY FEATURES TOTAL STOP SYSTEM (TSS) The pressure washer is equipped with a total stop system (TSS) that will sense when the trigger on the gun is depressed or released. It will open the power circuit to the motor, and cause the pressure washer motor to stop. The motor will start again when the trigger is depressed. WARNING The pressure washer is also equipped with a main power “ON/OFF” (I/O) switch located on the unit.
Do not touch plug with wet hands. CAUTION This machine has been designed for use with detergents that are specifically approved for pressure washer use. The use of other cleaning detergents may affect the operation of the machine and void the warranty.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Surface Preparation Before starting any cleaning task, it is important to inspect the area for objects that could create a hazard. Remove any objects from the work area that could be tripped over, such as toys or outdoor furniture. Ensure that all doors and windows are closed tightly. Water Supply (Cold Water Only) Only draw water through the unit. For use with cold water supply only. Garden hose must be at least a 1/2” (13 mm) in diameter.
Fig. 5 Locking/releasing pin 1. Pull the Locking/releasing pin outward on the left side of the machine, so that the locking/releasing pin stays clear of the original hole where it was seated and hold it in place with one hand. 2. While turning the handle upward with the other hand, it can rotate around its pivot. At this moment it allows release the locking/releasing pin, so that it can depress against the surface of the handle. 3.
Fig. 7 Recommendation for spray tip usage: Yellow 15° Can be used to clean concrete. White 40° Can be used to clean wide areas faster than the 15 degree nozzle Black Low pressure To apply detergent Turbo Attach desired color coded spray tip to quick - connect wand by pushing to ensure it is clicked in securely. Insert quick–connect wand into the gun wand, hand tighten until two parts are locked.
CAUTION The pressure washer must only be used with clean water. Use of unfiltered water or corrosive chemicals will damage the pressure washer. This pressure washer is not intended to pump hot water. Never connect it to a hot water supply as it will significantly reduce the life of the pump. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Risk of injury, Do Not Direct discharge stream at self or other persons.
Fig. 12 Ensure the gun safety latch is released by pushing it down and engage the trigger for a few seconds to discharge the residual pressure in the high pressure hose. Fig. 13 Turn ON the pressure washer by press- ing the button with mark “ I ”. The unit will run for a few seconds to build up pressure, then will stop on the function of total stop system (TSS). Fig. 14 Depress the gun trigger until there is a steady stream of water. Change the spray tip as per the recommendation above if necessary.
Fig. 15 CAUTION Make sure spray tip and wand is well locked. Do not move the spray tip while trigger is depressed. CAUTION If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use extreme caution as pressure washer may remove the loose paint from the surface. For most cleaning applications, a twenty degree (20o) spray angle be recommended to avoid damage to the surface being sprayed. The pressure of spray on the surface will increase when you move the wand closer to the surface. OF Fig.
CAUTION Working with detergent ensures a quick soaking of the dirt, and allows the high- pressure water to penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively. Always spray detergent on a dry surface, do not pre-soak area. Wetting the surface first dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability. To apply detergents you must be operating at low pressure. This provides a gentle application of detergent, with the pressure equivalent to the lowest garden hose.
6. Rinse with clean water under high pressure. On a vertical surface, rinse from the bottom up, then rinse from the top down to avoid streaking. Hold nozzle 6-8” (1520 cm) from the cleaning surface, at a 45° angle. 7. As shown Fig.20 When you have finished using the detergent injection system, if certain amount of remaining detergent still exist in detergent tank. • Drain it by unscrewing the threaded plug, which is located at the bottom of device. • Secondly, put the threaded plug back into place.
SHUTTING DOWN AND STORAGE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. (If you are not using detergent, go directly to Step 2.) When you have finished using the detergent dispensing system, fill detergent tank with clean water to rinse the system clean. Depress the gun trigger for one minute at low pressure so that all detergents remaining in system are thoroughly flushed out. Remove detergent tank to empty the remaining water, and rinse it until it is thoroughly cleaned.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Water Filter Screen The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet filter screen to protect the pump. If the screen is not kept clean, the flow of water to the pressure washer will be restricted and the pump may be damaged. 1. 2. 3. To clean inner water screen, remove the inlet adaptor and remove the filter screen from the pump inlet. Rinse screen until it is free of debris and blockage. Replace screen immediately to prevent any foreign matter from entering the pump. Fig.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Disconnect the machine from the power source before making any repairs. Symptom Motor does not run when “ON” ( I ), fully connected and trigger depressed. Unit does not reach high pressure. Cause Solution On/Off switch is in the “OFF” (O) position. Turn switch to the “ON” ( I ) position. Power cord is not plugged in. Plug in power cord. Extension cord is too long. Extension cord is not proper gauge. Extension cord is damaged. Replace extension cord with either a 25’ (7.
