This document serves as a comprehensive manual for the AR Blue Clean Model 675 Electric Pressure Washer, guiding users through its assembly, operation, and maintenance. The device is designed for various cleaning tasks, utilizing high-pressure water to effectively remove dirt and grime from surfaces.
The AR Blue Clean Model 675 is an electric pressure washer that generates a high-pressure stream of water for cleaning applications. It operates by drawing water from a garden hose, pressurizing it through an internal pump, and then expelling it through a spray gun and a variable spray nozzle lance. This pressurized water stream is highly effective for cleaning a wide range of surfaces, from driveways and patios to vehicles and outdoor furniture. The unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for enhanced electrical safety, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock during operation. An auto-start feature allows the unit to turn on briefly to prime the pump and then shut off, ready to activate when the spray gun trigger is squeezed. The pressure washer also includes a detergent tube, enabling the application of cleaning solutions for more stubborn stains.
Before beginning any operation, users are instructed to ensure all components are properly and securely connected. The assembly process involves attaching the breather cap to the power washer unit, connecting the high-pressure hose to both the power washer unit and the spray gun, and then inserting the variable spray nozzle lance into the spray gun. A Phillips screwdriver is the only tool required for assembly.
Once assembled, the pressure washer requires a water supply from a garden hose, which should be flushed out before connecting to the garden hose adapter on the unit. The power cord, equipped with a GFCI, must be plugged into a grounded 120-volt outlet. It is crucial to perform a GFCI test before each use to ensure proper functionality. The power switch has international symbols for "on" (1) and "off" (O). Users are advised to turn on the water supply completely before turning on the power washer to prevent damage to internal components from running dry.
To operate, the power switch is set to the "I" position. The unit will briefly turn on to prime the pump and then shut off, indicating it's ready for use. Squeezing the spray gun trigger activates the high-pressure stream. Releasing the trigger stops the power washer. Users are cautioned to allow the motor to come to a complete stop between trigger squeezes to avoid issues with the auto-start feature. The spray gun features a safety lock button, which should always be engaged when the gun is not in use to prevent accidental discharge.
The variable spray nozzle lance allows for adjustment of the spray pattern and intensity by twisting the nozzle head. This versatility enables users to adapt the pressure washer to different cleaning tasks and surface types. For detergent application, the detergent tube is inserted into a detergent bottle, and the lance head is adjusted to the appropriate setting. Only detergents specifically formulated for power washers should be used.
Safety is paramount during operation. Users are reminded to wear eye protection, maintain good footing, and keep fingers, hands, feet, and any part of the body clear of the high-pressure water stream. The spray gun should never be pointed directly at people, animals, electrical devices, or the unit itself. Testing a small, inconspicuous area before cleaning an entire surface is recommended to prevent damage.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the AR Blue Clean Model 675. After each use, the power washer should be turned off, unplugged, and the water supply shut off. The spray gun trigger should be squeezed 2-3 times to drain excess water and release any remaining pressure in the system. The high-pressure hose and lance should then be disconnected from the spray gun.
A critical maintenance task involves cleaning the garden hose adapter screen periodically. This screen can be removed by dragging a thumb over it with enough pressure, rinsed with clean water, and then reinserted.
Nozzle cleaning is also vital, as clogged or partially clogged nozzles can significantly reduce water pressure or cause the unit to pulsate. To clean a nozzle, the unit and water supply must be turned off, and any trapped pressure relieved by squeezing the spray gun trigger. The spray gun's safety lock should then be engaged. The nozzle tip cleaner (or a straightened paper clip) provided with the unit should be inserted into the nozzle hole and moved back and forth to dislodge debris. Tapping the quick connect end of the lance on a hard surface several times can also help. Back-flushing water through the nozzles using a garden hose at the highest possible pressure is another effective method.
The o-rings on the bayonet end of the nozzle should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease, such as petroleum jelly, to maintain a good seal and prevent leaks.
For storage, especially in areas prone to freezing temperatures, it is crucial to protect the pump. The manual strongly advises against storing the power washer where it is exposed to freezing conditions unless an antifreeze specifically designed for pumps, such as AR Blue Clean Pump Saver, is used. Freezing water inside the unit can expand and cause irreparable damage. Storing the power washer indoors is the recommended method to prevent this. The Pump Saver product, which lubricates internal parts and protects against freezing and corrosion, can be applied by attaching the bottle to the garden hose adapter, turning on the power, and squeezing the bottle until the pump saver exits the machine's water outlet, then turning off the power.
In case of troubleshooting, the manual provides a guide for common issues such as the unit not turning on, problems with hose connection, lack of water flow, or water leaks. For any questions, problems, or missing parts, customers are directed to contact the customer service department via phone or email. The product comes with a one-year "bumper to bumper" limited warranty covering defects in material and workmanship, including all accessories, for consumer applications. For warranty claims, the original purchase receipt is required, and customers are advised to contact customer service for assistance and a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Number if the unit needs to be returned for repair.
