Information about the battery

NOTE: Model SPX6001-CT is compatible with the following battery packs (sold separately): iBAT40, iBAT40XR or iBAT40XRP.

1. The battery packs ship partially charged, and must be charged completely before you use the tool for the first time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your pressure washer, and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion.

6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries that have been dropped from a height of more than 3 feet (1 m) or those that have been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for safety reasons.

IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may damage the battery pack.

1. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.

Information about the charger and the charging process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger (sold separately). Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage. Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay by a qualified technician at an authorized Snow Joe ^® + Sun Joe ^® dealer or call the Snow Joe ^® + Sun Joe ^® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack(s) and the cordless tool out of the reach of children.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.

6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before inserting it into the charger to recharge.

7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that it has been more than 12 months since the last time they were charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 50^ F ( 10^ C) will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging of the battery cells.

Operation

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.

The TSS system will work only when there's water in the bucket or the base unit is connected with a water supply. When there's no water connected with the unit, the On/Off button has to be pressed to stop the unit.

IMPORTANT! This system is capable of producing 8 Mpa. To avoid rupture and injury, do not operate this pump with components rated less than 8 Mpa working pressure (including but not limited to spray guns, hose, and hose connections).

1. Open the battery compartment cover and slide the battery in until it clicks to lock it into position, then close the battery compartment cover (Fig. 16).

⚠️CAUTION! The washer must only be used with clean (fresh) water; use of unfiltered water containing corrosive chemicals will damage the washer.

⚠ WARNING! Do not fill the bucket with the bucket still fixed on the base unit.

1. Put the bucket back on the base unit. Make sure the bucket is properly aligned on the base. Latch and lock the buckles to ensure the bucket is securely connected before using (Figs. 4 - 5).

NOTE: If you do not want to use the bucket, you can use the base unit directly as a pressure washer. See following instructions (step 4 – 5) to learn how to connect the base unit with a water supply.

1. Connect the garden hose adapter (female coupler) to the water inlet of the pressure washer on the base unit, then thread your garden hose (male end) into the garden hose adapter (Fig. 18). The garden hose must have an internal diameter of at least 13 mm (1/2 in.) and must be reinforced. The water supply must be at least equal to the washer delivery capacity.

Fig. 18 Garden hose Garden hose adapter Water inlet Base unit

1. Attach garden hose to water supply (Fig. 19).

⚠ WARNING! Water that has flowed through back flow preventers is considered to be non-potable.

WARNING! The water supply must not exceed 0.7Mpa.

Fig. 19 Connect to water supply Garden hose

1. If only using the base unit, turn the water supply tap on completely.
2. Push the safety lock on the spray gun handle, then press the trigger for a few seconds until the water flow is steady. Operating the pressure washer in this manner will allow air to escape and discharge residual pressure in the hose (Fig. 20).

1. When re-starting the motor, always keep the trigger pressed.

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

Using the Nozzles

Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle for the job. Each nozzle has a different spray pattern. The nozzle patterns are 40^ (for gentle cleaning), 25^ (for all-purpose cleaning), 15^ (for tough jobs), and 0^ (for spot cleaning or hard-to-reach areas).

⚠️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 cordless pressure washer is equipped with four (4) Quick-Connect nozzles that easily snap onto the Quick-Connect collar of the spray wand.

To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:

1. Turn off the pressure washer, remove the bucket or shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Lock the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot.
3. Pulling the quick-connect collar backwards, at the same time, snap the desired nozzle onto the quick-connect collar until it clicks into place, then release the quick-connect collar (Fig. 22).

Fig. 22

Spray wand NOZZLE "Click" Quick-Connect collar

To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning job is complete:

1. Turn off the pressure washer and remove the water bucket/shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Lock the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot.
3. Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.

⚠ WARNING! Do not make changes to the nozzle while the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the pressure washer or injury to the user.

Working with Detergents

When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.

WARNING! Use only detergents specifically designed for use with pressure washers, such as Sun Joe® HOUSE + DECK WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe® SNOW FOAM AUTO WASH (SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe® HEAVY DUTY CLEANER (SPX-APC1G). DO NOT USE household detergents, acids, alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial grade solutions. These could damage the pressure washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.

1. Remove the spray wand attachment from the trigger gun.
2. Remove the soap dispenser sprayer from the bottle and fill with mixed detergent. Put the sprayer back on when finished (Fig. 23).

Fig. 23 Pressure washer detergent Soap dispenser bottle Soap dispenser sprayer

1. Take the soap dispenser attachment and align the two tabs with your trigger gun. Once aligned, push it into the trigger gun, and twist counter-clockwise to lock securely into place (Fig. 24).

Fig. 24 Spray gun Soap dispenser attachment

1. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate the unit.

CAUTION! Always test the detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.

1. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry surface to be cleaned.
   NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
2. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the surface.
   ⚠️CAUTION! Damage may occur to painted surfaces if the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.
   ⚠️CAUTION! Failure to follow these cleaning instructions will cause the injection system to become clogged and inoperable.

Rinsing with the Pressure Washer

1. Turn off the pressure washer, remove the bucket or shut off the water supply.
2. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
3. Lock the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot.
4. Remove the soap dispenser attachment by pushing firmly in while twisting it clockwise to unlock the tabs and remove from the slots. Pull the attachment out of the trigger gun.
5. Attach the spray wand onto the trigger gun.
6. Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 25).

Fig. 25 0° 15° 25° 40°

I) The 0° intense-jet nozzle (orange) is an extremely powerful nozzle that delivers a high-pressure, pencil-point jet stream. It is used to cut heavy dirt deposits in a small, concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving stubborn substances, like tar and grease spots on concrete, or for removing caked mud from equipment. Use this nozzle to clean hard-to-reach areas including the facades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of lawn mowers and tractors.

NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the right nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or damaging fragile surfaces.

II) Use the 15° fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains, and rust from steel. This nozzle should only be used in areas that can withstand the high-pressure from this nozzle.
III) Use the 25° fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks. When using this nozzle, test a small area first to avoid surface damage.
IV) Use the 40° wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn equipment.

1. Lock the bucket with water on the base unit or connect the base unit with a water supply. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work your way down, making sure to overlap your strokes.

IMPORTANT! NEVER USE:

• Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline, oils)
  • Tri-sodium phosphate products
  • Ammonia products
• Acid-based products

These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the cleaning surface.

Shutting Down

1. Press the On/Off button on the control panel.
2. Pour the remaining water out from the bucket or turn off the water source.
3. Hold the trigger to release water pressure.
4. If using the base unit directly, disconnect the garden hose from the water inlet on the base unit.
5. Disconnect the high-pressure hose connection on the trigger gun handle.
6. Release the trigger and lock the gun safety lock.

WARNING! Turn off the water supply and squeeze the trigger to depressurize the unit. Failure to do so could result in personal injury due to discharge of high-pressure water.

Taking a Break

If you are taking a break of five minutes or more between cleaning tasks:

1. Lock the gun safety lock.
2. Push the On/Off button to stop the machine.

Storage

⚠️CAUTION! Always store your pressure washer in a location where the temperature will not fall below 32^ F ( 0^ C). The pump in this machine is susceptible to permanent damage if it freezes. FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

• Store the pressure washer indoors in a dry, covered area where it is not subject to adverse weather conditions.
• It is important to store this product in a frost-free area.
  • Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, the soap dispense attachment and the bucket before storing.
