PROPER USE OF THE PRESSURE CLEANER

THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR USE WITH COLD WATER ONLY! DO NOT USE HOT WATER IN THIS PRESSURE CLEANER.

1. Operate the pressure cleaner at no more than the fluid pressure rated for the pressure cleaner. Never run the pressure cleaner without a water supply. Running the unit without a water supply will cause irreparable damage to the unit.
2. Make sure that the water supply you use for the pressure cleaner is not dirty, sandy, and does not hold any corrosive chemical products. Using a dirty water supply will compromise the long life of the pressure cleaner.
3. CAUTION – The pressure cleaner can be used for a variety of applications including washing cars, boats, patios, decks, garages etc. where high pressure is necessary to remove dirt and debris. High-pressure water flow can damage the work surface if not used properly! See the section titled “Operating Instructions” for more details. Always test the spray in an open area first.
4. NEVER move the unit by pulling on the high pressure hose. Use the handle provided on the top of the unit.
5. Always hold the high pressure gun and wand with two hands. Keep one hand on the gun/trigger, while supporting the wand with the other hand (see diagram).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS UNIT IS INTENDED TO BE USED WITH COLD WATER ONLY! DO NOT USE HOT WATER IN THIS PRESSURE CLEANER!

• Starting Up After connecting the pressure cleaner to your cold water supply, proceed as follows
• Make sure that the on/off switch is in the off position. – Attach the hose to the gun as per assembly instruction step #4.
• Connect the high pressure hose to the high pressure outlet fitting as per assembly step #4.
• Connect the garden hose to the high pressure washer inlet fitting as per assembly step #6.
• Open the water supply valve completely.
• Before turning the unit on, press the gun trigger to bleed all the remaining air out of the pump and hose
• Insert the adjustable spray nozzle into the gun as per assembly step #5.
• Start the pressure cleaner by turning the on/off switch to the on position and squeeze the trigger. REMINDER: Motor does not run continuously, only when the trigger is squeezed.
• Note : Leakage switch operation: light on means power on, no light means no power.

WARNING – RISK OF INJECTION! Unit will start spraying when trigger is squeezed. When turning the unit off after use, high pressure still exists inside the hose and unit. Point the gun in a safe direction and discharge the excess pressure. NEVER direct the high pressure water stream at people or animals.

Automatic On/Off
The pressure cleaner is equipped with an automatic on/off switch. The pressure cleaner will only run when the power switch is in the ON position and the trigger or the gun is squeezed. When you release the trigger to stop spraying water through the gun, the motor on the pressure cleaner will automatically shut off. Simply squeeze the trigger again to resume using the cleaner. To stop using the pressure cleaner, release the trigger and switch the unit to the OFF position. The unit should be turned completely OFF while not in use or while unattended.

Bleeding the Gun
It is very important to bleed the gun before using the pressure cleaner. Refer to the “Assembly Instructions” to assemble the pressure cleaner. To bleed the gun, simpl connect the garden hose to the pressure cleaner and squeeze the trigger BEFORE turning the electrical supply on. This allows any air trapped inside the pressure cleaner and gun to be removed before using the unit. Continue holding trigger for approximately one minute to allow any excess air out of the unit. Water will flow through the gun at low pressure during this procedure. For more bleeding tips, see the section titled “Operating Instructions.”

Gun Safety Lock
This pressure cleaner is equipped with a gun trigger safety lock. When not using the pressure cleaner, use the safety lock to keep from accidentally engaging the high pressure spray

Adjustable Spray Nozzle

• 0°nozzle-red : This type of nozzle produces a vertical, stratified, high-pressure jet for surface cleaning with particularly severe dirt.
• 15°nozzle-yellow. 25°nozzle-green, 40°nozzle -white: These types of nozzles can produce the corresponding angle fan-shaped high-pressure jet, cleaning power, for large-scale dirt surface cleaning.
  • Warning : High pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons, live electrical equipment or the appliance itself.
  • Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to clean clothes or foot-wear.

WATER FILTER AND NOZZLE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clogged or partially clogged water filter or nozzle can cause significant reduction of water pressure coming out of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while spraying.

1. The water filter was installed inside the water inlet quick connector, should be cleaned periodically. Rinse it with clean tap water, and then place it back into the water inlet quick connector.
2. Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an unfold paper clip) ,insert the wire into the nozzle hole and move back and forth until debris is dislodged. Back flush 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 flush)

USING DETERGENTS

• THE PRESSURE CLEANER WILL DISPENSE DETERGENT AT LOW PRESSURE. USE THE ADJUSTABLE SPRAY NOZZLE TO RINSE CLEAN.
• BIODEGRADABLE DETERGENTS ARE SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND YOUR PRESSURE CLEANER. THESE DETERGENTS WILL NOT CLOG THE FILTER AND WILL PROTECT THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE PRESSURE CLEANER FOR A LONGER LIFE.

1. Step 1 Separate the nozzle from the detergent container by turning the detergent reservoir counter clockwise and separating the two components.
2. Step 2 Fill the detergent container with approved detergent. Pour the detergent slowly into the reservoir using a funnel. Re-attach the two components by re-inserting the nozzle back onto the detergent reservoir and turning clockwise.
3. Step 3 To apply the detergent cleanser to your working area, attach the detergent nozzle to the gun. Turn the pressure cleaner switch to the ON position. Pull the trigger to operate the unit. The pressure cleaner will mix the detergent with water. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the object you are cleaning.

CLEANING TIPS

WARNING : ALWAYS TEST THE SPRAY IN AN AREA FREE AND CLEAR OF PEOPLE AND OBJECTS BEFORE YOU SPRAYAT THE INTENDED CLEANING SURFACE.

1. Wood and Vinyl Decks
   Rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If using detergent, fill the detergent reservoir and apply to the area being cleaned at low pressure. For optimal results, reduce your work area to smaller sections and clean each section one at a time. Allow the detergent to rest on the surface for a few minutes and then rinse at high pressure. DO NOT LET THE CLEANSER DRY. Always clean from left to right and top to bottom for best results. Rinse at high pressure using the fan spray keeping the tip of the spray nozzle at least 6-9 inches from the cleaning surface. Maintain a further distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray. Caution: For softer woods, increase the distance from the cleaning area.

2. Cement Patios, Stone, and Brick
   Rinse cleaning and surrounding area with fresh water. If using detergent, fill the detergent reservoir and apply to the area being cleaned at low pressure. Rinse at high pressure using the fan spray in a sweeping motion keeping the tip of the spray nozzle at least 3-6 inches from the cleaning surface. Maintain a further distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray. Cars, Boats, and Motorcycles Rinse cleaning and surrounding area with fresh water. If using detergent, fill the detergent reservoir and apply to the area being cleaned at low pressure. To achieve the best results, clean one side at a time. Allow the detergent to rest on the surface for a few minutes, but do not let the detergent dry. Rinse at high pressure using the fan spray in a sweeping motion keeping the tip of the spray nozzle at least 8 inches from the cleaning surface. Maintain a further distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray. Wipe surface dry for a polished finish.

3. Barbecue Grills, Power Equipment, and Garden Tools
