OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using Power Cord
• Easily remove the power cord from side of unit by
swiveling the bottom cord hook to the right or left until it
faces up. The power cord then can be easily slid off of
the side of the power washer unit.
• Swivel cord hook back down when ready to wrap the
cord back into place for storage.
Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers. Hardware stores or home centers also have power
washer detergents for different 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 effective and can be
better than scrubbing if applied properly. Always spray detergent on a dry surface. Do not
pre-soak area. Wetting the surface rst dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
Do not allow detergent to dry on surface. On vertical surfaces being cleaned, apply detergent
to lower surfaces and work your way up to prevent detergent from causing streaks in the dirt
and grime. Rinse detergent by pressure washing from bottom up for same reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to reapply the detergent and use a bristled brush
to scrub the stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing should successfully complete your
cleaning job.
Cleaning Nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause signicant reduction of water pressure coming out
of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while spraying.
• Turn off the unit.
• Turn off the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by squeezing
the trigger 2-3 times, and then lock the spray gun by
pushing the lock button from left to right.
• The screens inside the adapter should be cleaned
periodically. Rinse it with clean water, and then place it
back in the adapter.
• Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an unfolded
paper clip), insert the wire into the nozzle hole and move
back and forth until debris is dislodged.
• Back ush water through the nozzles using garden hose
and highest pressure available (either standard water
nozzle or use your thumb over the nozzle to create water
pressure for back ush).
