PRESSURE WASHER OPERATING FEATURES HOW TO USE VARIABLE SPRAY LANCE
ATTENTION! NOTICE: The powerful spray from your pressure washer Is capable of causing damage to surfaces such aa wood, glass, automobile paint, auto striping and trim and delicate objects such as flwers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to be cleaned to assure that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of the spray. The 0° pencil stream adjustment is very aggressive. A 20° spray angle is recommended for most cleaning applications to avoid damage to the surface being cleaned.
Note: The pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning increases as you move the wand closer t ace.
The aning and rinsing, For high pressure operation, pull back the name of the variable spray lance.

STARTING

ATTENTION! DANGER:
Risk of injury from spray. Always engage the trigger lock when gun is not in use. Failure to do so could cause accidental spraying.

ATTENTION! WARNING
Risk of Injury. Do not direct discharge stream at self or others.

ATTENTION! WARNING
Risk of unsafe operation. Stand on a stable surface and grip gun/ spray wand firmly with both hands.
Connect the high pressure hose to the machine outlet. Ensure the threads are aligned properly and the connection is secure. Connect the garden hose to the connector on the back of the machine. Before connecting, run water through the garden hose {not supplied) to flush cut a y foreign matter. Insert the spray lance into the gun by pushing firmly and simultaneously twisting a 1/4 of a turn counter clockwise until locked into place.

ATTENTION! WARNING
If the lance is not securely locked into place, it could be ejected under high pressure during operation, possibly causing injury or damage.
Turn incoming water on and fully open valve to insure maximum water flew to the machine.

Plug the unit into the appropriate electrical outlet.
Note: The power supply must be 230V, 50 Hz and a minimum 15 amp dedicated circuit. Ensure the gun safety is unlocked and squeeze the trigger until the air has escaped and a steady flow of low pressure water Is coming from the nozzle. Turn switch to ON position. Note that the motor will momentarily start then stop.

Squeeze the trigger to start motor and begin pressure washing.
Note: The motor only runs when the gun trigger is depressed and warier Is spraying.
Shutting down ISee Storage section in this manual for proper shutdown and storage procedures.

STORAGE

ATTENTION! CAUTION:

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

only detergents, degreasers, waxes and other cleaning solutions that are designed specifically or pressure washers. Cleaners in this category will clearly state on the label that they are meant for use in pressure washers. Do NOT use any other type of cleaning solution in your high-pressure washer. Never use bleach, ammonia, any type of acid or hot water in your appliance!
The suction tube has become disconnected, clogged or kinked| Ensure the suction tube is not damaged and is properly connected to the detergent nozzle. Reconnect, clean or replace the tube as needed.
Detergent nozzle is clogged with debris| Clean the nozzle according to the instructions provided in the Nozzle paragraph under the Maintenance section of this manual.
Detergent to water ratio| | The pressure washer draws detergent at a maximum 10:1 water to detergent ratio. Most pressure washer detergents are concentrated within this range so minimal adjustment of the detergent nozzle metering valve is required. If you feel you are using more detergent than is required for the application, you can dilute the detergent with regular tap water.
Circuit breaker trips or fuse blown in fuse box| Circuit overload| Verify that the circuit is rated at 15 amps or greater. Ensure no other appliance is drawing power from the same circuit [dedicated circuit).
| Extensor Cord too long or wire gauge too small Nozzle partially blocked| We do not recommend using of extension cords with your high-pressure washer. If you must use an extension cord, verify that it meets the minimum requirements listed in the Extension Cord paragraph under the Power Supply & Electrical info in this manual. Clean the nozzle according to the instructions provided in the Nozzle paragraph under the Maintenance section of this manual.
Spray gun, lance or high

pressure hose leaking water

| Improperly connected accessory| Verify all components (gun, lance, high pressure hose) are properly connected according to Instructions provided in this manual.
Low / surging pressure or motor does not stop when spray gun trigger is released

Note: The Pressure washer is NOT receiving full volume of incoming water The machine requires pressurized water source capable of sustaining a minimum of 20 psi at 5 gpm.

| Faucet is not fully open| Verify incoming water supply faucet is open at the maximum setting.
| Garden hose is too long or it is kinked / restricted| Use a maximum garden hose length of 50 ft. (15,2 m) (city water) or 25 ft. (7,5 m) (well water). Ensure the garden hose is laid out flat and does not have any kinks or leaks. Unwrap garden hose from reel or hook (if applicable). Replace garden hose if necessary.
| Water inlet filter screen is clogged| Remove the filter screen (O) from the water inlet (M) and clean it thoroughly. Replace the filter screen.
| Extension cord is too long or wire gauge Is too small| We do not recommend using of extension cords with your high-pressure washer. If you must use an extension cord, verify that it meets the minimum requirements listed in the Extension Cord paragraph under the Power Supply & Electrical info in this manual.
No water coming out of nozzle| Nozzle is clogged| Clean the nozzle according to the instructions provided in the Nozzle paragraph under Maintenance section of this manual.
| Water inlet filer screen is clogged| Remove filter screen (O) from the water inlet (M) and clean it thoroughly. Replace the filer screen.
| Kink in the garden hose or hose is wrapped on a storage wheel| Use a maximum garden hose length of 50 ft. {15,2 m (city water) or 25 ft. (7.6 m) (well water). Ensure the garden hose is laid flat and does not have any kinks or leaks. Unwrap garden hose from reel or hook (if applicable). Replace garden hose if necessary.
Spray Gun Trigger will NOT Move| Gun safety lock is engaged| Release safety lock according to instructions provided in the Starting paragraph under Operation in this manual.
Unit will NOT start  Note: Unit will only start and run when trigger is depressed and water is spraying!| Unit is not turned ON| Verify that the ON/OFF switch is full ingaged in the ON position.
Motor stops working during normal operation

Note: Motors thermal overload switch tripping the motor is overheated Allow the motor to cool for 20 minutes before troubleshooting and the switch will

automatically reset

| Extension cord is too long or wire- gauge is too small| We do not recommend using of extension cords with your high-pressure washer. If you must use an extension cord, verify that it meets the minimum requirements listed in the Extension Cord paragraph under the Power Supply & Electrical info in this manual.
| Defective Spray Gun| Clean the nozzle according to the instructions provided in the Nozzle paragraph under Maintenance section of this manual.
Connecting and Disconnecting the Spray Lance

Note: Due

to the high pressures produced by your pressure washer, the lance must seal lightly to the gun. As the result of normal operation the lance can become difficult o attach or remove and this process may require considerable force.

| | To attach the Lance – apply steady downward pressure on the lance (in the direction of the trigger) while simultaneously twisting the lance 90° counter clockwise. It may help if you set the gun vertically on a flat surface with the lance pointing upwards. The two tabs on the end of the lance must be fully inserted in the gun before the lance will twist and lock. If this does not work then remove the bayonet oring from the end of the lance and attach the lance to the gun without the oring in place. You will need to replace the oring.
| | To remove the Lance – release any trapped pressure in the gun f hose by turning the unit OFF and squeezing the gun trigger. Apply steady downward pressure on the lance (in the direction of the trigger) while simultaneously twisting the lance 90° clockwise. It may help if you set the gun vertically on a flat su face with the lance pointing upwards.
