Operation

Using the Pressure Washer

⚠️IMPORTANT! This pressure washer is equipped with a micro-switch sensitive to water flow. This Total Stop System (TSS) senses water flow in the pump. When the trigger is released, water stops flowing through the pump. The TSS then automatically turns the motor off to protect the pump from overheating, thus saving energy and prolonging pump life.

1. Position the washer as CLOSE as possible to the water supply.
2. The washer must be used on a secure and stable surface in a standing, upright position (Fig. 11).

Fig. 11

1. Make sure the unit is switched off before plugging the unit into the power outlet.

NOTE: The motor only runs when the trigger is operated and shuts off when the trigger is released.

Using Nozzles

Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. The nozzle patterns are 40^ (for gentle cleaning), 15^ (for tough jobs), 0^ (for spot cleaning or hard-to-reach areas), and the turbo nozzle. The turbo nozzle is a zero-degree rotary nozzle that spins the spray in a circle so it has a wider cleaning swath.

CAUTION! NEVER change nozzles without locking the safety lock on the trigger handle.

WARNING! High-pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons, pets, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.

This electric pressure washer is equipped with four (4) Quick-Connect nozzles that easily snap onto the Quick-Connect collar of the spray wand (Fig. 16).
