Summary

Introduction

Safeguards, Warnings, and Safety Tips

General Safety Precautions

Follow all safety tips and instructions to avoid injury and property damage. Become familiar with controls and pressure release.

Electrical Safety

The unit has a GFCI for shock reduction. Never use extension cords, as they defeat GFCI effectiveness and increase electrocution risk.

Operational Safety Guidelines

Use two hands when first using the spray gun. Point gun safely. Turn off unit and release pressure after use. Never spray flammable liquids or near combustible dust.

Hose and Detergent Handling

Avoid contact of pressure hose with sharp objects. Use power washer specific detergents only. Protect skin and eyes from detergent exposure.

Storage and Freezing Precautions

Store indoors to prevent freezing damage. If storing outdoors, use Pump Saver. Never use hot water; it damages the pump.

Double-Insulated Appliance Servicing

Servicing requires qualified personnel. Replacement parts must be identical. Product may be marked with 'Double Insulation' or a symbol.

Unpacking & Assembly Instructions

High Pressure Hose Connection

Screw the high pressure hose clockwise onto the unit. Connect the other end to the spray gun by inserting the metal tip until it clicks.

Spray Gun Trigger Lock

Aim spray gun away and push lock button left to right. Squeeze trigger to ensure it's locked. Leave in 'locked' position when not in use.

Lance and Detergent Bottle Attachment

Insert lance or detergent bottle into the spray gun end. Push together and turn clockwise to lock. Use safety lock when changing components.

Adjustable Lance Operation

Control spray pattern and intensity by twisting nozzle. Use for sweeping leaves or debris from flat surfaces or curbing.

Detergent Bottle Usage

Fill with formulated detergent/cleaner. Ratio of water to detergent is 10:1. Apply under low pressure.

Garden Hose Adapter Installation

Install adapter and filter by screwing into water inlet. Attach collar to hose and connect to adapter. Water flows when connected.

Operating Instructions

Operating Tips and Maintenance

Pump Priming Behavior

Intermittent motor run when trigger is not squeezed indicates pump priming. Turn off if idle for over five minutes.

O-ring and Filter Maintenance

Clean and lubricate o-rings on lance/bottle bayonet ends. Periodically clean the screen filter in the clear adapter.

Nozzle Cleaning

Clogged nozzles reduce pressure and cause pulsing. Turn off unit/water, relieve pressure, and use cleaning wire or paper clip.

Avoiding Surface Damage

Vary spray pattern, angle, and distance to control impact force. Never use a narrow stream on soft surfaces.

Window Cleaning Technique

Use wide fan spray, four to five feet away at a 45-degree angle. Adjust pattern and angle for optimum efficiency.

Detergent Application

Use power washer detergents with 10:1 water-to-detergent ratio. Apply to dry surfaces for best results. Rinse from bottom up.

Storage

Post-Use Procedures

Turn off unit, unplug cord, turn off water. Drain excess water and pressure. Disconnect hoses. Do not run pump dry.

Component Removal and Cleaning

Remove lance/detergent bottle. Flush bottle and nozzle head with fresh water to prevent clogging.

Storage Environment

Store in an area free of freezing temperatures and heat. Freezing damages the pump unless Pump Saver is used.

Pump Saver

Pump Saver Instructions

Follow storage instructions. Protect surface. Wear eye protection. Turn off unit, disconnect hoses, shake bottle, screw valve into water inlet, turn on unit briefly.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Unit Will Not Turn On

Check power connection, GFCI reset button, and outlet grounding. Try another outlet if issues persist. Contact customer service if unresolved.

High Pressure Hose Connection Issues

Ensure rubber sleeve is down on hose fitting. Wiggle, twist, or pull down. Cut sleeve end if necessary, but avoid puncturing hose.

No Water Flow

Check water source and unclog nozzle. Test by removing lance and spraying directly from gun.

HP Hose to Spray Gun Leak

Ensure an o-ring is present at the metal tip of the high pressure hose. O-ring kits are available for purchase.

Lance Removal Difficulty

Press spray gun and lance together, turn counter-clockwise to remove. Push assembly down to loosen. Use soapy water or lubricant if needed.

Unit Turns On Briefly, Then Off

This is normal. Unit primes the pump and waits for trigger. Water sensor activates motor when water flows.
