OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Removing Power Washer Unit from Frame for
Handheld Operation
• Locate latches on the lower side of frame. Unlock
latches by pulling downward on the latches. Place
a foot on the pad at the front of the lower frame and
then lift the power washer unit off the frame.
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.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the nozzle should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-
water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging the 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
