Operating Instructions

1. Turn on water supply at the faucet.
2. Make sure the "ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF"
position. The power switch has international
symbols: On (|) Off (O).
3. Completely unwind the power cord and plug into a
grounded 120 volt outlet.
4. Release the spray gun safety lock (I) on the spray gun (H).
Point the spray gun in a safe direction and squeeze the
trigger until there is a steady stream of water, releasing
water and air out of the hose. Lock the spray gun.
5. Turn the power switch to the "ON" (|) position. The unit
will run on for 1 - 2 seconds and shut off. This is a normal
function of the auto-start feature.
6. Begin power washing by squeezing the trigger all the way
into the handle.
7. Release the trigger to stop the power washer.
8. Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before
squeezing the trigger again.
9. Squeezing the trigger rapidly will cause the auto-start
feature to miss an on/off cycle and may prevent the
washer from turning on. Use slow, deliberate trigger pulls
to avoid this.
10. ALWAYS test a small area to avoid damaging the surface.
Using High/Low Nozzle
The spray pattern and intensity can be adjusted for each
task by twisting the spray nozzle at the far end of the lance.
• Twist the nozzle head clockwise for the high pressure
(pencil stream) setting.
• Twist the nozzle head counter clockwise for the low
pressure (fan spray) setting.

Operation Tips
• When using detergent, fill bottle with a properly
formulated detergent-to-water ratio, following
instructions on the container.
• It is normal to hear the motor run intermittently when
the trigger is not being squeezed. The pump is priming
itself to operate when the trigger is squeezed.
• Turn off the power washer if not being used after five
minutes.
• The O-rings in the hose should be cleaned regularly
and lubricated with non-water soluble grease such as
petroleum jelly.
• Keep the cleaning wire nearby for unclogging the
spray nozzle.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs when
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
the power washer by adjusting:
1. The angle of the nozzle to the surface being
cleaned.
2. The distance from the nozzle to the surface being
cleaned.
• NEVER use a narrow, high-pressure stream of water on
soft surfaces.
