INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK(S)
See Figure 8.
The battery compartment features slots to accommodate two
compatible 40 volt battery packs. Both ports are active, but
only one battery pack (installed in either position) is required
to run the pressure washer. To achieve maximum power and
run time, however, install two fully charged battery packs
prior to operation.
NOTE: For optimal performance, the use of two compatible
40V battery packs of 4Ah or greater is recommended. Refer
to tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supple-
ment 988000-842 for a list of compatible batteries.
To install battery pack(s):
Raise the battery cover.
Align the raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves
in the battery port and install the battery pack as shown.
WARNING:
Make sure the latch on the bottom of the battery pack
snaps in place and the battery pack is fully seated and
secure in the battery port before beginning operation.
Failure to securely seat the battery pack could cause the
battery pack to fall out, resulting in serious personal injury.
Repeat to install second battery, if desired.
Lower the battery cover.
To remove battery pack(s):
Raise the battery cover.
Press and hold the battery latch button at the bottom of
the battery pack.
OPERATION
Remove the battery pack from the pressure washer.
Lower the battery cover.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's manu-
als for your battery pack and charger.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figure 9.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer without water supply
connected and turned on, as this may damage the high
pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
Before starting the motor:
Connect the garden hose or filled water tank.
NOTE: Make sure the pressure washer's water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting.
Turn on the garden hose or open the valve on the water
tank, then pull the trigger to relieve air pressure; hold the
trigger until a steady stream of water appears.
NOTE: Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.
To start the motor:
With the on/off switch in the off position (O), install the
battery pack(s) as previously described.
Put the on/off switch in the on position (I) to start the
motor.
To stop the motor:
Put the on/off switch in the off position (O).
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
NOTE: The pressure washer may be on and the system
may have pressure even when the pump and/or motor
cannot be heard running. Always use caution around the
pressure washer.
USING BOOST MODE
See Figure 9.
Boost mode gives a temporary increase in water pressure
to accommodate tougher cleaning tasks. Once activated,
boost mode will automatically cycle off after 8 minutes, or
you may press the boost button again to return to normal
operation prior to that time. After a full cycle of boost mode,
8 minutes of normal operation or rest is required before boost
mode can be repeated. If you press the boost button before
then, the LED on the button will flash to indicate that boost
mode is not yet available.
