SPRAY GUN ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

5.5. Select The Right Nozzle For The Job！

The 0º intense-jet nozzle (red) is a powerful nozzle that delivers a high-pressure, pencil-point jet stream. It cuts 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 nozzle 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 nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or damaging fragile surfaces.

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

Use the 25º fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks. When using this nozzle, test a small area first to avoid surface damage.

Use the 40º wide-spray tip nozzle (white) to clean items such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn equipment.

Use the Detergent tank for low-pressure detergent application to clean equipment, remove mildew and oxidation stains from houses, clean bricks, or degrease grimy surfaces.

NOTE: When using detergent, make sure to install the correct detergent tank. All of the other colored nozzles will not work with the detergent application.

5.6. Install The Detergent Tank

WARNING
Do not use household detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial grade solutions, in the detergent tank.

WARNING
Follow the instruction on the solution bottle to prepare the detergent.

NOTE
If necessary, use a funnel to fill the detergent tank and avoid spilling.

1. Put the detergent into the detergent tank.
2. Install the detergent tank onto the gun.
3. Turn the gun clock wise to tighten.

NOTE
To prevent streaking, don’t let the detergent dry on the surface.

CONNECT THE GARDEN HOSE ADAPTER

Regularly clean the filter screen in the water pipe adapter and replace the garden hose adapter.
The waterproof rubber ring inside the water pipe adapter needs to be replaced regularly. It is recommended to replace it every six months. Please keep the replacement rubber ring that comes with the packaging in a safe place. If you need to purchase accessories, you can contact ANYKIT’s customer service or visit anykit.com.

ATTACH GARDEN HOSE TO WATER SUPPLY

NOTE: If the high-pressure water gun does not spray water or the pressure is uneven when the machine starts, there may be air bubbles in the water pipe, which can affect the water pressure. It is recommended to follow the steps below:

1. Wait for the water to completely flow into the entire water pipe.
2. Start the high-pressure water gun to release the air in the machine/high-pressure water pipe.
3. Wait for the water pressure of the high-pressure water gun to stabilize before starting normal operation.

POWER ON THE DEVICE

Connect the power cord of the device to the power outlet.
NOTE:
Ensure the machine power switch is off (O position) before connecting.

OPERATION

Before Operation

1. Before starting up, check whether there is any looseness in the screws and nuts of each part of the device.
2. Check whether there is any damage to the pipe joints or high-pressure hoses. If there is any damage, it needs to be replaced immediately to avoid the risk of explosion.
3. Connect the water inlet pipe to ensure a firm and airtight connection.
4. When connecting to the power socket, the switch of the cleaning machine must be set to the “0” position. If using an extension cord, the plug and socket must be waterproof.
5. When plugging in the power socket for the first time, the GFCI may need to be reset. Press the “reset” button until the power indicator on the GFCI lights up.
6.  When performing cleaning operations, one hand should grip the handle of the spray gun tightly, and the other hand should hold the spray nozzle. Pay attention to concentration when operating, and be aware that there will be a certain recoil force and rotational torque on the handle when pulling the trigger and water sprays out.
7. The high-pressure water hose should not be twisted and should be extended and straightened as much as possible.
8. When the spray gun is not in use, always set the trigger to the safety lock position.
9. When the spraying stops, follow the pressure release procedure before cleaning, inspecting, and maintaining the equipment. If the idle time is too long (more than 10 minutes), turn off the power switch, open the spray gun valve, and completely release the pressure.

Danger
The trigger gun is subjected to a recoil force when the water jet is discharged. Make sure that you have a firm footing and are also holding the trigger gun and sprayer firmly.
When using a spray gun for cleaning, please pay attention to the following:

1. Move the spray gun to spray and clean the object at a 45° angle to avoid splashing back.
2. Keep the nozzle about 3.3 ft(1m) away from the surface being cleaned to ensure that the water pressure can clean the dirt without damaging the surface.

NOTE:

1. The high-pressure water gun should be at least 0.9 ft(30 cm) away from the vehicle tire/valve stem when cleaning to avoid damage caused by high-pressure spraying. Signs of damage include tire discoloration.
2. Always use both hands to hold the spray gun when working.
3. Do not use a 0° nozzle to directly spray the surface of the car. Use a 40° nozzle to clean the vehicle.
4. Do not spray the pressure water onto yourself or others to clean clothes or shoes.

Water Supply
When it comes to selecting a water source for a high-pressure washer, there are two main options. One is to connect it directly to a faucet or a valve, where water automatically flows into the pump head. The other option is to use a water bucket or a reservoir for suction. It is recommended to use a faucet as the water source for several reasons. Firstly, faucets provide an ample water supply, resulting in higher pressure during machine operation. Secondly, the water quality from faucets is generally better, reducing the chances of clogging the pump head and nozzles.
Using a water bucket or reservoir for suction has its drawbacks. Firstly, the water supply is usually not as abundant as from a faucet. Secondly, the water quality cannot be guaranteed, as impurities from the bucket or reservoir may be sucked in, leading to clogging of the pump head, spray gun, and nozzles.

WARNING:
To ensure the performance of water suction from a bucket, please note the following: Firstly, the suction hose should not exceed 2 meters in length. Secondly, the height of the water bucket should not exceed 50cm. Lastly, ensure that the water bucket is positioned horizontally, matching the orientation of the machine.

Using the Pressure Washer

1. Turn the water supply tap on completely.
2. Make sure the safety lock is down and in its original position, then press the trigger for a few seconds until the water flow is steady. This will allow air to escape and discharge any residual pressure in the hose(Fig. A).
3. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON (I) position to start the pressure washer(Fig. B).
4. 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.

IMPORTANT!
The pressure washer must be used on a secure and stable surface in a standing, upright position(Fig. C).

Danger！
The trigger gun is subjected to a recoil force when the water jet is discharged. Make sure that you have a firm footing and are also holding the trigger gun and nozzle firmly.
Place the machine as close to the water source as possible.

Using Nozzles
Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle for the job.
Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.
The nozzle patterns are 40˚ (for gentle cleaning), 25˚ (for all-purpose cleaning), 15˚ (for tough jobs), 0˚ (for spot cleaning or hard-to-reach areas), and the Soap nozzle (for detergent application).
CAUTION! NEVER change nozzles 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.
This electric pressure washer is equipped with four Quick Connect nozzles that easily snap onto the Quick-Connect collar of the spray wand.
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:

1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. A).
3. Snap the desired nozzle onto the Quick-Connect collar until it clicks into place (Fig. B).

Using Nozzles
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning job is complete:

1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot.
3. Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar

WARNING!
Do not make changes to the nozzle while the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the pressure washer or injury to the user.

Working with Detergents
Adjust the detergent concentration by rotating the knob on top of the product.
To rotate the nozzle of the product, you can adjust the angle of the spray pattern (a vertical ellipse can be adjusted to a parallel ellipse).

CAUTION!
Always test the detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
Recommended cleaning method
Spray the detergent sparingly on the dry surface and allow it to react, but not to dry.
Spray off loosened dirt with the high pressure jet.

Recommended cleaning agents that can be used in the detergent tank:
For washing cars, we recommend using Meguiar’s Super Concentrated Car Wash. This specially formulated detergent is designed to remove dirt and impurities from your car while restoring its shine. It is also eco-friendly and protects against minor scratches. Mix it with water in a ratio of 1:128 (detergent to water).
For cleaning decks, we recommend using Bona Cleaner. Mix the cleaner with water in a ratio of 1:7 (cleaner to water) to effectively remove stains and dirt without causing pollution.
For cleaning metal surfaces, we recommend using Brasso Cleaner. It is generally recommended to mix pure water and Brasso Cleaner in a 1:1 ratio (cleaner to water) to clean metal surfaces.
Please refer to the instructions on the selected cleaning agent before use.

Note:
Consider the surface you will be cleaning, as different surfaces require different cleaning agents. For example, you may need a different detergent for cleaning a car than you would for cleaning a deck.
Look for cleaning agents that are eco-friendly and biodegradable.
These types of cleaning agents are better for the environment and won’t harm plants or animals.
Consider the concentration of the cleaning agent. Some cleaning agents are highly concentrated and require dilution before use. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for dilution ratios.
Test the cleaning agent on a small area before using it on a larger surface. This will help you determine if the cleaning agent is effective and won’t damage the surface you are cleaning.

Interrupting operation
Release the lever on the trigger gun.

1. Lock the lever on the trigger gun.
2. During longer breaks (more than 10 minutes), also turn the appliance off using the “0/OFF” switch.
3. Insert the trigger gun in its holder.

Finish operation
CAUTION！
Only separate the high-pressure hose from the trigger gun or the appliance while there is no pressure in the system.

1. After operation with detergent: Run the machine for approximately 1 minute for a clear rinse.
2. Release the lever on the trigger gun.
3. Turn off the appliance “0/OFF”.
4. Turn off the tap.
5. Press the lever on the trigger gun to release any remaining pressure in the system.
6. Lock the lever on the trigger gun.
7. Detach the appliance from the water supply.
8. Pull out the plug.

STORAGE

CAUTION
In order to prevent accidents or injuries, keep in mind the weight of the appliance when selecting a storage location for it (see Specifications).

Storing the Appliance
Before extended storage periods, as during the winter, also observe the instructions in the Care section.

• Park the machine on an even surface.
• Engage the spray gun in its compartment.
• Insert the trigger gun in its holder.
• Stow away the cable, the high-pressure hose, and accessories.

FROST PROTECTION

Protect the appliance and its accessories from freezing.
The appliance and its accessories can become damaged from freezing if there is any water residue in it. To avoid damage:
When not in use, store in a room with a temperature above 0℃.

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:

• 1. Disconnect all water connections.
• 2. Drain the water from the high-pressure washer to prevent water from freezing in the machine and pipes. Turn it off immediately.
• 3. Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
• 4. If the cleaning machine is found to be frozen, do not start the high-pressure cleaning equipment or use methods such as pouring hot water, or heating to thaw it. This is to prevent cracking of the equipment due to a large temperature difference. The equipment can be placed at room temperature to thaw naturally.
• 5. If the high-pressure cleaning equipment is frozen and forcibly started, it will cause deformation and damage to the working parts such as the spring and valve cover inside the high-pressure pump. In severe cases, it will cause cracking of the high-pressure pump and bursting of water pipes.
• 6. Freezing of the high-pressure cleaning equipment will damage the seals in the high-pressure pump and reduce the sealing performance.
• 7. To prevent freezing damage to components that come into contact with water, such as the pump head, high-pressure hose, and high-pressure gun, antifreeze can be used.

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.
Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat that may dry out the pump seals.
