Extending and Lowering Handle
• Extend the handle up by pressing
the blue button in the cord hook
and pull handle up until it locks in

Note: If handle does not easily slide
up, add some petroleum jelly (not
included) to help make it
glide easier.
• Lower the handle by pressing the

Using Power Cord
• Easily remove the power cord
from side of unit by swiveling the
bottom blue cord hook to the
right or left until it faces up. The
power cord then can be easily
slid o of the side of the power
washer unit.
• Swivel blue, cord hook back down
when ready to wrap the cord
back into place for storage.
• When removing the detergent tank
remove lid and place finger in tank
lifting up while pulling tank out.
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 lance 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 o, 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.
• Use the high/low nozzle lance
when cleaning windows. Be
sure to adjust the nozzle to
low spray and place the nozzle
approximately four to five feet
away from the window with the
nozzle at forty five degree angle.
Squeeze the trigger and vary
the spray pattern and angle until
optimum cleaning eciency is
achieved.

Detergents
• Use detergents designed
for power washers. These
can be found online at our
website 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.
• This system applies detergent
under low pressure. The cleaning
power of the detergents is
enhanced when applied with
low pressure and enough time
is given to break down dirt
and grime. The combination
of low pressure and chemical
action is very eective and
can be better than scrubbing if
applied properly. A LWAYS spray
