Information about the batteries

1. The battery packs supplied with your cordless pressure washer are only partially charged. The battery packs have to be charged completely before you use the tool for the first time.

2.  For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery packs frequently.

3. Store the battery packs in a cool place, ideally at 77°F (25°C) and charged to at least 40%.

4.  Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery packs must be replaced at the latest when their capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your cordless pressure washer, and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw the battery packs into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion.

6. Do not ignite the battery packs or expose them to fire.

7. Do not exhaustively discharge the batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged battery. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery fall noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery packs in storage only after they have been fully charged.

8. Protect the batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace the batteries that has been dropped from a height of more than one meter or has been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.

10. If the battery packs suffer overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for safety reasons.
    IMPORTANT! Do not press the On/Off button any more if the protective cut- off has been activated. This may damage the battery packs.

11.  Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.

Information about the charger and the charging process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.

2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage. Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay by a qualified technician at an authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

3.  Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

4. Keep the battery charger, battery packs and the cordless tool out of the reach of children.

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.

6. During periods of heavy use, the battery packs will become warm. Allow the battery packs to cool to room temperature before recharging.

7. Do not overcharge the batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent connection of
   a charged or partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave the batteries connected with the charger for days on end.

8.  Never use or charge battery if you suspect that it has been more than 12 months since the last time they were charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).

9. Charging the batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.

10.  Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.

11. Do not use the battery if it suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).

12. Never fully discharge the battery packs (maximum recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging of the battery cells.

10. Put the trigger gun with spray wand assembly on the gun holder. Your pressure washer is ready for use (Fig. 16).
    

Operation

IMPORTANT! This pressure washer is equipped with a micro-switch sensitive to water flow. This Total Stop System (TSS) senses water flow in the pump. When the trigger is released, water stops flowing through the pump. The TSS then automatically turns the motor off to protect the pump from overheating, thus saving energy and prolonging pump life.
The TSS system will work only when there’s water in the bucket or the base unit is connected with a water supply. When there’s no water connected with the unit, the On/Off button has to be pressed to stop the unit.
IMPORTANT! This system is capable of producing 8 Mpa. To avoid rupture and injury, do not operate this pump with components rated less than 8 Mpa working pressure
(including but not limited to spray guns, hose, and hose connections).

Connecting to Water Source and Start the Unit

1. Open the battery compartment cover and slide the battery

2. Remove the water bucket from the base unit and fill with clean (fresh) water.
   WARNING! The intake water temperature must not exceed 104ºF/40ºC.
   CAUTION! The washer must only be used with clean (fresh) water; use of unfiltered water containing corrosive chemicals will damage the washer.
   WARNING! Do not fill the bucket with the bucket still fixed on the base unit.

3.  Put the bucket back on the base unit. Make sure the bucket is properly aligned on the base. Latch and lock the buckles to ensure the bucket is securely connected before using (Figs. 8 – 9).
   NOTE: If you do not want to use the bucket, you can use the base unit directly as a pressure washer. See following instructions (step 4 – 6) to learn how to connect the base unit with a water supply.

4.  Disengage the bucket buckles and remove the bucket from the base unit. Disconnect the bucket adapter from the water inlet by turning it counterclockwise with a wrench (Fig. 18).

5. Connect the included brass water inlet connector to the  water inlet and turn it clockwise to lock securely. Connect the included garden hose adapter with the brass water inlet connector and push it until it clicks and locks in place (Fig. 19).

6. Thread your garden hose (male end) into the garden hose adapter (Fig. 20). The garden hose must have an internal diameter of at least 13 mm (1/2 in.) and must be reinforced. The water supply must be at least equal to the washer delivery capacity.

7.  Attach garden hose to water supply (Fig. 21).
   WARNING! Water that has flowed through back flow preventers is considered to be non-potable.
   WARNING! The water supply must not exceed 0.7Mpa.

8. If only using the base unit, turn the water supply tap on completely.

9. Push the safety lock on the spray gun handle, then press the trigger for a few seconds until the water flow is steady. Operating the pressure washer in this manner will allow air to escape and discharge residual pressure in the hose (Fig. 22).

10. Keeping the trigger pressed, turn on the unit by pressing the On/Off button on the control panel. Using the “Pressure Select” feature, you can also use the pressure washer in a lower setting by pressing the button below the ON/Off button (Fig. 23).

NOTE: This machine is equipped with 2 power/pressure levels. When starting, the machine is set in default high power/high pressure level. See table below for detailed specs.

11. When re-starting the motor, always keep the trigger pressed.
    NOTE: The motor only runs when the trigger is operated and shuts off when the trigger is released.

Control Panel (Fig. 24)

1. On/Off button – Press to turn on and shut off the machine. The power indicator will light when the machine is turned on.

2.  Low setting button – After turning on the machine, press to enter the low power/pressure level. The low setting indicator will light when the machine enters low power/pressure level. The low power/pressure level reduces the motor speed for a maximum battery life. It is also ideal for cleaning everyday dirt + grime.
   NOTE: The machine is set to be operated in default high power/ high pressure level when it is started every time. You need to press the low setting button if low power/pressure level is desired. To enter HIGH power/high pressure level from low power/pressure level, press the low setting button again. The low setting indicator will turn off and the machine will increase power and pressure.

3. Error indicator – The error indicator is off when the machine is working normally. A flashing error indicator means something is wrong with the machine. Check the table below for possible causes and solutions for the flashing error indicator. If the indicator keeps flashing after all the measures have been taken, please call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 1- 866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563)

Using the 5-in-1 Quick-connect Nozzle

Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best spray setting for the job. The included 5-in-1 Quick-Connect nozzle features 5 different spray options to match your desired cleaning application. The nozzle patterns are 40˚ (for gentle cleaning), 15˚ (for tough jobs), 0˚ (for spot cleaning or hard-to- reach areas), 0+ (for long range spray), 40+ (for short range spray).
CAUTION! NEVER change spray pattern without locking the safety lock on the trigger handle.
WARNING! High-pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons, pets, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.
To change the spray pattern for the nozzle, first make sure the pressure washer is shut off and not connected with any water source, and the trigger gun is locked, then twist the nozzle collar to align the symbol of the desired spray pattern with the mark on the nozzle (Fig. 25).

Working with Detergents

When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.
WARNING! Use only detergents specifically designed
for use with pressure washers, such as Sun Joe® HOUSE + DECK WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe® SNOW FOAM AUTO WASH (SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe® HEAVY DUTY CLEANER (SPX- APC1G). DO NOT USE household detergents, acids, alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial grade solutions. These could damage the pressure washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.

1. Turn off the pressure washer, remove the bucket or shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.

2. Remove the spray wand attachment from the trigger gun.

3.  Remove the soap dispenser sprayer from the bottle and fill with mixed detergent. Put the sprayer back on when finished.

4. Take the foam cannon and align the two tabs with your trigger gun. Once aligned, push it into the trigger gun, and twist counter-clockwise to lock securely into place (Fig. 26).

5. Reconnect the pressure washer with the water bucket or the garden hose. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate the unit.
   CAUTION! Always test the detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.

6. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry surface to be cleaned.
   NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.

7. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the surface.
   CAUTION! Damage may occur to painted surfaces if the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.
   CAUTION! Failure to follow these cleaning instructions will cause the injection system to become clogged and inoperable.

Rinsing with the Pressure Washer

1. Turn off the pressure washer, remove the bucket or shut off the water supply.

2. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.

3.  Push the safety lock on the trigger handle to lock it.

4. Remove the foam cannon by pushing firmly in while twisting it clockwise to unlock the tabs and remove from the slots. Pull the attachment out of the trigger gun.

5. Attach the spray wand and the 5-in-1 nozzle onto the trigger gun.

6.  Select the right spray pattern for the job (Fig. 27).

7. The 0º intense-jet spray pattern is an extremely powerful , high-pressure, pencil-point jet stream.
   It is used to cut heavy dirt deposits in a small, concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving stubborn substances, like tar and grease spots on concrete, or for removing caked mud from equipment. Use this pattern to clean hard-to-reach areas including the facades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of lawn mowers and tractors.
   NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the right spray pattern to avoid permanently gouging wood or damaging fragile surfaces.

8. Use the 0+ straight line pattern for home siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks. When using this nozzle, test a small area first to avoid surface damage.

9. Use the 15º spray pattern for intense cleaning jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains, and rust from steel. This spray should only be used in areas that can withstand the high-pressure from this spray.

10. Use the 40º wide-spray pattern to clean items such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn equipment.

11. Use the 40+ pattern for light cleaning applications.

12. Lock the bucket with water on the base unit or connect the base unit with a water supply. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work your way down, making sure to overlap your strokes.

IMPORTANT! NEVER USE:

• Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals
•  Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline, oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
•  Acid-based products

These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the cleaning surface.

Shutting Down

1. Press the On/Off button on the control panel.
2.  Pour the remaining water out from the bucket or turn off the water source.
3. Hold the trigger to release water pressure.
4. If using the base unit directly, disconnect the garden hose from the water inlet on the base unit.
5.  Disconnect the high-pressure hose connection on the trigger gun handle.
6. Release the trigger and lock the gun safety lock.

WARNING! Turn off the water supply and squeeze the trigger to depressurize the unit. Failure to do so could result in personal injury due to discharge of high-pressure water.

Taking a Break

If you are taking a break between cleaning tasks:

1. Lock the gun safety lock.
2. Push the On/Off button to stop the machine.

NOTE: If being kept in stand-by mode for 3 minutes, the machine will shut off automatically.

Storage

CAUTION! Always store your pressure washer in a location where the temperature will not fall below 32ºF (0ºC). The pump in this machine is susceptible to permanent damage if it freezes. FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

•  Store the pressure washer indoors in a dry, covered area where it is not subject to adverse weather conditions.
•  It is important to store this product in a frost-free area.
• Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, the soap dispense attachment and the bucket before storing.
• CAUTION! The use of a pump protector is recommended to prevent cold weather damage during storage over the winter months.

Winterizing + Long-Term Storage

If you must store your pressure washer in a location where the temperature falls below 32ºF (0ºC), you can minimize the chance of damage to your machine by utilizing the following procedure:

• Disconnect all water connections.
• Turn on the machine for a few seconds until the remaining water in the pump exits. Turn off immediately.
• Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
• Store the machine and accessories in a room that does not reach freezing temperatures.
• Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat that may dry out the pump seals.
• Operate the pressure washer with non-corrosive/non-toxic anti-freeze, a pump saver, or a pump protector before storing for the winter.

WARNING! Before reusing, completely flush the unit out with clear water. Anti-freeze products can damage paintwork, so you must ensure there is no anti-freeze left in the system before using it again.

Maintenance

CAUTION! Before working on the pressure washer, remove the batteries from the compartment.

1. To ensure good performance, check and clean the filters. Remove the filters and rinse with warm water to prevent any foreign matter from clogging the pump.

2. Remove the water bucket lid and make sure the bucket is empty.

3.  Turn the bucket filter counterclockwise to align the tabs with the slots, and disassemble it from the water bucket (Fig. 28).

4.  Remove the bucket from the base unit. Disconnect the bucket adapter from the water inlet by turning it counterclockwise (Fig. 18)

5.  Using pliers, remove the water inlet filter from the water inlet (Fig. 29)

6. Rinse both filters and all other components with warm water to prevent any foreign matter from clogging the pump.

7. Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar. Clean the nozzle with the needle clean-out tool provided (Fig. 30). Remove the spray wand from the gun; remove any dirt from the nozzle orifices and rinse.

8.  Remove additional debris by back flushing water through the nozzle and spray wand. To do this, place the end of your garden hose (with water running) to the tip of the nozzle, pushing water and debris out of the back opening of the nozzle and spray wand.
