• After unpacking the BLUE CLEAN POWER WASHER,
lay out the parts and accessories. Familiarize yourself
with the parts in the package by comparing them to those
listed on the "PACKAGE CONTENTS" page.
• The BLUE CLEAN POWER WASHER requires some
minor assembly, the accessory holder and the electric
power cord holder. (Fig. 1) Slide these pieces onto the
grooves on the either side of the power washer. Slide the
handle onto the front of the power washer. Secure the
handle to the power washer with the screws provided.
High Pressure Hose
• Screw the high pressure hose (clockwise) on the back
of the unit at the bottom (Fig. 2). The end of the hose
must be inserted into the water outlet far enough so the
collar can thread onto the outlet threads until hand tight.
Do not use pliers or vice grips to tighten. If it takes fewer
than six or so turns you have not properly tightened the
high pressure hose fitting. It is easier to position the
power washer in front of you to ensure that the threads
are started correctly. Failure to properly tighten the high
pressure hose will result in the hose slipping or popping
off immediately upon turning the unit on. Do not worry
about damage if this occurs - just reinstall and take extra
care at screwing on the high pressure hose fitting.
• Connect the other end of the high pressure hose to the
spray gun by inserting the silver metal tip of the high
pressure hose into the fitting under the trigger guard. It
will lock into the spray gun with a "click" (Fig. 3). Confirm
the hose is locked into the spray gun by pulling slightly on
the hose. The hose is now securely attached to the spray
gun.
• To release the hose from the spray gun, press the thumb
tab on the underside of the spray gun toward the trigger
guard. The hose will slide out from the connection.
Spray Gun
• To lock the trigger of the spray gun aim the spray gun
away from you and push the lock button from left to right,
(Fig. 4) after doing so, squeeze or pull the trigger to make
sure it is locked and will not move. Get in the habit of
leaving the lock button in the "locked" position when the
power washer is not in use. This ensures the gun is in
"safe" mode until it is ready for use.
