After following the start-up procedures in this manual, turn the pressure washer ON and squeeze the trigger for activation. See the “Operating Instruction” section in this manual for further details.

Bleeding the Gun:
It is very important to bleed the gun before using the pressure washer. Squeeze the trigger to allow any air that is trapped inside of the unit and hose to escape. Continue to squeeze the trigger until a steady stream of water comes from the nozzle. (This process may take up to 2 minutes). See the “Operating Instructions” section for this process.

WARNING! This unit is to be connected to a cold water source ONLY.
The motor of this pressure washer will NOT run. It will only operate when the trigger is squeezed.
