OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Begin power washing by squeezing the trigger on the
spray gun all the way into the handle.
• Release the spray gun trigger to stop the power washer
• Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before
squeezing the trigger again.
• Squeezing rapidly will cause the auto start feature to
miss an on/off cycle that may prevent it from turning
on while squeezing trigger after rapid squeezing. Use
slow deliberate trigger pulls to avoid such symptoms.
• Always test a small area to avoid chance of damaging
the surface.
• When using the variable spray nozzle, the spray
pattern and intensity can be adjusted for each task by
twisting the spray nozzle at the far end of the lance.
Operation Tips
• If you hear the motor run intermittently when the
trigger is not being squeezed, that is normal. The
pump is priming itself so it is ready to operate when
the trigger is squeezed. Turn off the power washer if
not being used after ve minutes.
• 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.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging
the nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire, a
straightened paper clip also works.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because
the impact force of the water pressure exceeds
the durability of the surface. Bare wood can be
penetrated; paint can be peeled off, etc. You can vary
the force of your power washer by controlling:
1. The angle of the surface being cleaned
2. The distance of the nozzle from the
surface being cleaned
• NEVER use a narrow high pressure stream of water
on soft surfaces susceptible to damage.

Operation Tips
• If you hear the motor run
intermittently when the trigger
is not being squeezed, that is
normal. The pump is priming
itself so it is ready to operate
when the trigger is squeezed.
Turn o the power washer if not
being used after five minutes.
• 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.

Detergents
• Use detergents designed for
power washers. You can find
detergents at bepowerequipment.
com. Hardware stores or home
centers also have power washer
detergents for dierent cleaning
projects. The cleaning solution
should be the consistency of
water in order to prevent clogging
your detergent bottle and nozzle.
