safety instructions.

• Turn on the water supply at the faucet.
• Make sure the "ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position.
The power switch has international symbols for 'on' and
'off': On (--) Off (O), (Fig. 12).
• Unwind the power cord completely and plug the GFCI into
a grounded 120 volt outlet. Press the 'reset' button on the
GFCI box (Fig. 13). The indicator window should show a
red color. This must be done each time the unit is plugged
in.
• Release the safety lock button on the spray gun by
pressing the safety lock button from right to left. While
pointing the spray gun in a safe direction, squeeze the
trigger on the spray gun until there is a steady stream of
water, letting the water and air out of the hose.
• Press the 'ON' button. The motor and pump should now
be running and providing a powerful spray.
o
peratIng tIpS and maIntenance
• 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 lances and
detergent bottle should be cleaned regularly and
lubricated with non-water soluble grease.
• The screen inside the clear adapter should be cleaned
periodically. Insert a pen or pencil in small hole at the end
of the adapter. The screen filter will slide out (Fig. 14).
Rinse it with clean water, and then place it back in the
adapter.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire that is taped to this manual,
to unclog the nozzle on the lance. If you lose the cleaning
wire an unbent paper clip will work.
Cleaning nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause significant
reduction of water pressure coming out of the nozzle and/
or cause the unit to pulsate while spraying.
