OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Begin pressure washing by squeezing the trigger on
the spray gun all the way into the handle.
• Release the spray gun trigger to stop the pressure
washer
• Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before
squeezing the trigger again.
• Squeezing rapidly will cause the auto start feature to
miss an on/off cycle that may prevent it from turning
on while squeezing trigger after rapid squeezing. Use
slow deliberate trigger pulls to avoid such symptoms.
• Always test a small area to avoid chance of damaging
the surface. Start a good distance away from the
job and move in until the desired cleaning result is
achieved.
• When using the variable spray nozzle, the spray
pattern and intensity can be adjusted for each task by
twisting the spray nozzle at the far end of the lance.

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 pressure washer
if not being used after five minutes.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the nozzle lance
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 pressure washer by controlling:
1. The angle of the surface being cleaned
2. The distance of the nozzle from the surface being
cleaned
• NEVER use a narrow high pressure stream of water on
soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
