NOTE: The GFCI may need to be reset when first plugged into the electric outlet. Press the "Reset" button until the power light indicator on the GFCI illuminates.

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.

1. Position the washer as CLOSE as possible to the water supply.

2. Release the safety lock, 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 (Figs. 14 and 15).

⚠ WARNING! Do not adjust the nozzle while the trigger is squeezed. Failure to do so could result in damage.

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! To apply detergents, you must use the low pressure setting. This setting will gently apply the detergent at a pressure equivalent to a low-set garden hose. The high-pressure setting is used for rinsing. You cannot apply detergents when working at high pressure.

⚠ WARNING! Use only detergents specifically designed for use with pressure washers. 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. Gently pull the onboard detergent tank out of its storage position. Remove the cap with PVC tube and fill the tank with detergent designed specifically for use with pressure washers (Fig. 18).

Fig. 18 Detergent tank Pressure washer detergent

1. Insert the suction tube back into the tank and cap the tank closed. Push the tank back into storage position on the unit.

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

1. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate the unit. The liquid detergent will automatically mix with water and be discharged through the nozzle.

5 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.

1. 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

⚠️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. Tum the switch to the OFF (0) position and unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Tum off the water source.
3. Hold the trigger to release water pressure.
4. Disconnect the garden hose from the water inlet on the unit.
5. Disconnect the high-pressure hose connection on the trigger gun handle.
6. Release the trigger and engage the gun safety lock.

⚠ WARNING! Tum 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. Engage the gun safety lock (Fig. 14).
2. Tum the switch to the OFF (0) position.
3. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

Winterizing + long-term storage

If you must store your pressure washer in a location where the temperature falls below 32^ F ( 0^ C), you can minimize the chance of damage to your machine by utilizing the following procedure:

• Disconnect all water connections.
• Tum on the machine for a few seconds until the remaining water in the pump exits. Turn off immediately.
• Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
• Store the machine and accessories in a room that does not reach freezing temperatures.
