Installation Steps:
- Water Inlet Connection: Connect the provided adapter to the water inlet and then attach a garden hose (G3/4 thread). Ensure the rubber seal and filter are in place and all connections are screwed tightly to prevent leaks.
- Water Sucking Methods:
- Water Tap: Connect directly to a water tap using a garden hose.
- Self-priming: The water inlet hose can be placed into a large container of water for automatic suction (hose length not exceeding 2M/6.5ft).
- High Pressure Hose Connection: Install one end of the high-pressure hose to the water outlet on the appliance and the other end to the spray gun, then lock the hose.
- Spray Wand Installation: Insert the spray wand into the spray gun and fasten by rotating it 90 degrees.
- Spray Nozzle Installation: The device comes with 5 different spray nozzles:
- Red (0 degrees): For high and hard-to-reach areas, cleaning crevices in sidewalks or driveways.
- Yellow (15 degrees): For concrete, brick, and other hard surfaces with stubborn stains.
- Green (25 degrees): For painted surfaces, wood siding, fences, and lawn mowers.
- White (40 degrees): For windows and screens.
- Black (Soap): Low-pressure foam nozzle for spraying detergent.
- Caution: Be careful with the red (0°) nozzle to avoid injury. Only the black nozzle generates foam; others are high-pressure nozzles.
- Detergent Tank: Pull out the tank, remove the cap, fill with liquid detergent (avoid solid cleaners to prevent filter blockage), cover, and reinsert. For car cleaning, car wash soap is recommended. When filling detergent, remove the spray nozzle to keep the appliance at low pressure.
Operation Cautions:
- Before Use: When using for the first time, or after storage, air may be present in the spray gun and hose. Long-press the spray gun trigger for 15-30 seconds after starting the machine until water comes out, then install the spray wand. This purges air and protects the pump. Dry running for more than 2 minutes can damage the high-pressure pump. If pressure doesn't build within 2 minutes, switch off and troubleshoot.
- After Use: Release pressure inside the machine after each use by shutting off the water tap, disconnecting the inlet hose, unlocking the spray gun trigger, and pressing it to drain residual air and water. This prevents freezing in winter and makes disassembly easier. Turn off the power switch and unplug the mains plug before storing.
Maintenance Features
- Pre-Maintenance: Ensure the device is off and unplugged before performing any maintenance.
- Filter Cleaning: Remove the water inlet adapter, pull out the filter, and rinse with water. For long-term storage, clean the filter before and after. Use a needle to clean residue if necessary.
- Disassembly: Disassemble the high-pressure hose, spray gun, and spray wand.
- Storage: Store the power cord, high-pressure hose, spray wand with gun, and other accessories properly. Do not store the pressure washer outdoors during winter if residual moisture water has not been drained out.
Troubleshooting
The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:
- Appliance fails to start up: Check plug contact, socket, extension cord, voltage, power switch, and fuse.
- Pump stops working: Check water inflow (ensure at least 10 liters per minute).
- Fluctuating pressure: Clean spray head, check high-pressure tube connection, or consult after-sales service if impurities are inside the pump.
- Appliance does not reach operating pressure: Clean or replace spray wand, check inlet water flow-rate, straighten kinked hose, clean filter, or check hose for leaks/blockages.
- Trigger gun is unusable: Unlock the gun.
- Appliance often starts or stops by itself (Stop at low pressure): Indicates a worn decompression valve spring or water leakage in the pump, high-pressure hose, or gun. Contact customer service.
