- The warnings, cautions, and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. Exercise common sense and caution when using this tool. Always be aware of the environment and ensure that the tool is used in a safe and responsible manner.
- Do not allow persons to operate or assemble the product until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of how it works.
- Do not modify this product in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety and could affect the life of the product. There are specific applications for which the product was designed.
- Use the right tool for the job. DO NOT attempt to force small equipment to do the work of larger industrial equipment. There are certain applications for which this equipment was designed. This product will be safer and do a better job at the capacity for which it was intended. DO NOT use this equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended.
- Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
WORK AREA SAFETY
- Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit. Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
- Do not use the wand where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite the flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
- Do not allow the product to come into contact with an electrical source. The tool is not insulated and contact will cause electrical shock.
- Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow children to handle the product.
- Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in your work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury and/or property damage if contacted.
PERSONAL SAFETY
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
- Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
CAUTION
WAND USE AND CARE
- Do not force the wand. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
- Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the product with a damaged part.
- Do not use a product with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
- Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
- Store the product when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
- Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than the tool itself.
- Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in place.
- Do not leave the tool running unattended.
Specific Operation Warnings
WARNING
- Never use near power lines.
- Never extend or retract the wand while spraying or while under pressure. Stop the equipment and relieve pressure before making any adjustments to the wand.
- Never change nozzles or accessories while under pressure. Stop the equipment and relieve pressure before making any changes.
- Never use while on ladders or scaffolding.
- Never use with unapproved accessories.
- Never exceed rated pressure or volume.

Before Each Use
WARNING
- Do NOT bypass, disable, or remove the trigger gun.
- DO NOT use pliers, pipe wrenches, etc., to tighten as it will cause the collet to seize to the threaded plastic housing. HAND-TIGHTEN ONLY!
Read, understand, and follow ALL safety guidelines and operation instructions
prior to use.
To Use the Wand
Connect the outlet of your pressure washer to the inlet port of the trigger
gun of the wand using appropriate quick couplers or fittings rated to handle
high pressure.
The wand may be used fully retracted or fully extended, or any point in
between. Caution must be used when the wand is extended as the reaction force
of the nozzle spraying will cause the wand to flex. Make absolutely certain
that there are no power lines or sources of electrical power within 10 feet of
the lance at any time.
WARNING
Contact with power transmission lines can cause fatal electrocution!
Operating Instructions
WARNING
- Never use near power lines.
- Never extend or retract the wand while spraying or under pressure. Stop the equipment and relieve pressure before making any adjustments to the wand.
- Never change nozzles or accessories while under pressure. Stop the equipment and relieve pressure before making any changes.
- Never use while on ladders or scaffolding.
- Never use unapproved accessories.
- Never exceed rated pressure or volume.
- Never use high pressure to clean persons or animals.
- Never remove or alter warning labels or identification tags.
- Never use the wand if damaged.
- Always make certain area is clear of obstructions or hazards.
- Always maintain proper balance and control of the extension wand.
CAUTION
Do not extend or retract your extension wand while spraying or while under
pressure. Stop the equipment and relieve any pressure before making
adjustments to the extension wand or changing nozzles.
To Extend the Wand
Loosen the lock rings and pull the wand out to the desired length. Re-tighten
the lock rings to hold the wand at the desired length.
To Retract the Wand
Loosen the lock rings and slide the extension segment into the wand until the
desired length is reached. Re-tighten the lock rings to hold the extension
segments in place.
To Begin Spraying
Start the sprayer. Raise the wand and keep the nozzle at least ten feet away
from the surface to be cleaned. Squeeze the trigger to begin spraying,
maintain stable footing, and move the wand in to the surface to be cleaned.
CAUTION
Except in cases of emergency, do not release the trigger near any surfaces.
To Stop Spraying
Before releasing the trigger gun, move the nozzle at least ten feet away from
the surface being cleaned and make sure you have solid footing. The wand will
rebound when the trigger is released or if pressure is lost. When you are
clear of the work surface and in a safe area, release the trigger.
CAUTION
USE EXTREME CAUTION when working on or near fragile surfaces as there may
be enough force to damage surfaces or break windows. Keep clear of power
lines.
After Each Use
WARNING
Relieve pressure before disconnecting the gun from the pump hose.
Clear the wand of water, fully retract, and store in dry place.
Maintenance
WARNING
Relieve pressure performing any maintenance on gun or wand.
Maintain the wand by adopting a program of conscientious repair and
maintenance. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be
examined before it is used. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
