OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operation Tips
• If you hear the motor run intermittently when the
trigger is not being squeezed, that is normal.
The pump is priming itself so it is ready to operate
when the trigger is squeezed. Turn off the power
washer if not being used after five minutes.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging
the lance nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire, a
straightened paper clip also works.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because
the impact force of the water pressure exceeds
the durability of the surface. Bare wood can be
penetrated; paint can be peeled off, etc. You
can vary the force of your power washer by
controlling:
1. The angle of the surface being cleaned
2. The distance of the nozzle from the surface
being cleaned
• use a narrow high pressure stream of
NEVER
water on soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
• Use the 25˚ angle quick connect nozzle when
cleaning windows. Be sure to place the nozzle
approximately four to five feet away from the
window with the nozzle at forty five degree angle.
Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray pattern
and angle until optimum cleaning efficiency is
achieved.

Using Power Cord
• Easily remove the power cord from side of unit by
swiveling the bottom black cord hook to the right
or left until it faces up. The power cord then can
be easily slid off of the side of the power washer
unit.
• Swivel black, cord hook back down when ready to
wrap the cord back into place for storage.
Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers.
These can be purchased online at our website
www.stanleypressurewashers.com. Hardware
stores or home centers also have power washer
detergents for different cleaning projects. The
cleaning solution should be the consistency of
water in order to prevent clogging your detergent
bottle and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure.
The cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced
when applied with low pressure and enough
time is given to break down dirt and grime. The
combination of low pressure and chemical action
is very effective and can be better than scrubbing
if applied properly.
ALWAYS
dry surface. pre-soak area. Wetting the
DO NOT
surface first dilutes the detergent and reduces its
cleaning ability.
DO NOT
on surface. On vertical surfaces being cleaned,
apply detergent to lower surfaces and work your
way up to prevent detergent from causing streaks
in the dirt and grime. Rinse detergent by pressure
washing from bottom up for same reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary
to reapply the detergent and use a bristled brush to
scrub the stain. Subsequent power washing after
brushing should successfully complete your cleaning
job.
