14 15
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• When using detergent (not included),
fill with a properly formulated
detergent or cleaner with water ratio
according to instructions on the
container. Close detergent tank when
done filling.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Always test a small area to avoid
chance of damaging the surface.
• When removing the detergent tank,
squeeze the clamp and remove the
small hose from detergent tank. Pull
the detergent tank
straight out. To
replace tank, push
straight in and then
reattach hose with
clamp.
• The power washer will pull a ratio of
water to detergent of 10:1 or 10 parts
water to 1 part detergent. The detergent
concentration can be adjusted by
turning the detergent knob on the top
of the machine. Turn it left for more
concentration or turn it right for less
concentration.
Removing Power Washer Unit from
Frame for Handheld Operation
• Locate latches on the lower side
of frame. Unlock latches by pulling
downward on the latches. Place a foot
on the pad at the front of the lower
frame and then lift the power washer
unit o the frame.

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 (not included).
• 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 25˚ angle quick connect nozzle
when cleaning windows. Be sure to place
the nozzle approximately 4 to 5 ft. away
from the window with the nozzle at 45°
angle. Squeeze the trigger and vary the
spray pattern and angle until optimum
cleaning eciency is achieved.
Using Power Cord
• Remove the power cord from the unit by
swiveling the cord hook to the right or
left. The power cord then can be slid o
to either side of the power washer unit.
• Swivel cord
hook back
to center
when ready
to wrap the
cord back
into place
for storage.
