Connect the high-pressure hose to the water outlet on the washer (Fig. 11).
- WARNING! Keep hose away from sharp objects. Bursting hoses may cause injury. Examine hoses regularly and replace if damaged. Do not attempt to mend a damaged hose.
Connect the garden hose adapter (female coupler) to the water inlet of the pressure washer, then thread your garden hose (male end) into the garden hose adapter (Fig. 12). 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.
- WARNING: The machine is not suitable for connection to the potable water main.
Attach garden hose to water supply (Fig. 13).
- WARNING! The intake water temperature must not exceed 104ºF/40ºC. The water supply must not exceed 0.7 MPa.
- CAUTION! The washer must only be used with clean water; use of unfiltered water containing corrosive chemicals will damage the washer.
Make sure the On/Off switch is set to the OFF (0) position before plugging the unit into the power outlet (Fig. 14).
Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency (Volt/Hz) correspond to those specified on the pressure washer rating plate. If the power supply is correct, you may now plug the pressure washer into the power outlet (Fig. 15).
- NOTE: The GFCI may need to be reset when first plugged into the electric outlet. Press the “Reset” button until the power light indicator on the GFCI illuminates.

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.

Turn the water supply tap on completely.
Make sure the safety lock is down and in its original position (Fig. 16), then press the trigger for a few seconds until water flow is steady. This will allow air to escape and discharge any residual pressure in the hose.
Turn the switch to the ON (I) position to start the pressure washer (Fig. 17).

Using the 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), and the 0° (for spot cleaning or hard-to- reach areas).

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 (4) Quick- Connect nozzles that easily snap onto the Quick-Connect collar of the stainless steel lance.

To connect a nozzle to the stainless steel lance:

Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
- Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 18).
Snap the desired nozzle onto the Quick-Connect collar until it clicks into place (Fig. 19).
- To disconnect a nozzle from the stainless steel lance once the cleaning job is complete:
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 18).
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

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.
For additional cleaning power, the unit comes equipped with a detergent spray bottle.

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 (SPXAPC1G).

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.

Remove the detergent bottle with foam cannon from the nozzle storage board. Remove the foam cannon cap with a detergent suction tube from the detergent bottle.
Fill the detergent tank with detergent designed specifically for use with pressure washers (Fig. 20).
Recap the detergent bottle, and attach it to the stainless steel lance by snapping it onto the Quick-Connect collar until it clicks into place (Fig. 21).
The foam cannon is featured with a foam-volume adjustable knob. Follow the instructions as shown to use the foam volume adjustable knob (Fig. 22).
Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry surface to be cleaned. Applying detergent in this manner will dissolve dirt most effectively.
- NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
- CAUTION! Always test the detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing with the pressure washer. 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 them. Wash and rinse a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.

Rinsing with the Pressure Washer

Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 18).
Remove the detergent bottle with foam cannon by holding the bottle while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.
Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 23):
The 0º intense-jet nozzle (red) is an extremely powerful nozzle that delivers a 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 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.
2. Use the 15° fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping paint, 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.
3. Use the 25° 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.
4. Use the 40° wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn equipment.

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)
Trisodium phosphate products
Ammonia products
Acid-based products

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

Shutting Down

Turn the switch to the OFF (0) position and unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Turn off the water source.
Hold the trigger to release water pressure.
Disconnect the garden hose from the water inlet on the unit.
Disconnect the high-pressure hose connection on the trigger gun handle.

We think it’s important that you know what you can expect from us. That’s why we have a Limited Warranty (“Warranty”) for our Products.

OUR WARRANTY:

All Season Power warrants new, genuine, powered and non-powered Products to be free from defects in material or workmanship when used for ordinary household use for a period of two years from the date of delivery of the Product to the original, end-user purchaser when purchased from All Season Power or from one of All Season Power’s authorized sellers with proof of purchase.

Because All Season Power is unable to control the quality of its Products sold by unauthorized sellers, unless otherwise prohibited by law, this Warranty does not cover Products purchased from unauthorized sellers. If your Product does not work or there’s an issue with a specific part that is covered by the terms of this Warranty, All Season Power will elect to either (1) send you a free replacement part, (2) replace the Product with a new or comparable product at no charge, or (3) repair the Product. How cool is that!

This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State.

PRODUCT REGISTRATION:

All Season Power strongly encourages you to register your Product. You can register online at shopjoe.com/register, or by printing and mailing in a registration card available online from our website, or by calling our Customer Service Department at 1-866-225-9723, or by e-mailing us at help@allseasonpower.com. Failure to register your Product will not diminish your warranty rights. However, registering your Product will allow All Season Power to better serve you with any of your customer service needs.

WHO CAN SEEK LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This Warranty is extended by All Season Power to the original purchaser and original owner of the Product.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?

This Warranty does not apply if the Product has been used commercially or for non-household or rental applications. This Warranty also does not apply if the Product was purchased from an unauthorized seller. This Warranty also does not cover cosmetic changes that do not affect performance. Wearing parts like belts, augers, chains and tines are not covered under this Warranty, and can be purchased at shopjoe.com/support or by calling 1-866-225-9723.

Keep your warranty intact. Only use CERTIFIED AUTHENTIC Snow Joe®, Sun Joe®, Aqua Joe® + Auto Joe® replacement parts + accessories. Use of any other parts

accessories will void the warranty. Genuine parts + accessories can be found and purchased online at shopjoe.com/support by entering the model number of your product.
