CAUTION

TRIPPING HAZARD Hoses may pose a tripping hazard that can cause injuries resulting from a fall.

SLIP / TRIP HAZARDS

When pressure washing in public areas, signs should be posted that indicate to stay clear of the area as high-pressure washing is being performed. Also, signs should be posted that the surface may be slippery and trip hazards may be present.

Special consideration needs to be made to the safety of not just the operator of the pressure washer, but also people who may be adjacent to the area being cleaned. The best way to warn unsuspecting individuals is with signage and barriers.

Barriers can be as simple as plastic traffic cones or barricades to using barrier belts around the area being cleaned. Remember, pressure washing can dislodge weak or broken pavement turning it into projectiles that may injure others. Keeping people clear of the area is the best way to avoid injury.

Wet pavement can be slippery to unsuspecting individuals causing injury from slips and falls. High-pressure and low-pressure hoses can be trip hazards. Segregating the area and placing appropriate signage can reduce injury.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

! DANGER:

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the receptacle is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with this product. If it will not fit the receptacle, have a proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. DO NOT use any type of adapter with this product.

CAUTION:

POWER SUPPLY

This pressure washer shall only be used with a dedicated receptacle/plug rated 120vAC, 60 Hz at 15-or-20 amperes. Any other appliances on the circuit should be turned off or unplugged when using the pressure washer. Never use the pressure washer with an adapter that may lead to higher voltage or excessive current. Excessive current may trip circuit breaker. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure of the desired power supply receptacle's ability to safely power this pressure washer.

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE AN EXTENSION

CORD. If, however, an extension cord is required, it must be an OUTDOOR RATED 3-PRONG CORD, that is no longer than 50 feet (15M) and has a minimum of 14 AWG (2.5mm²) conductors. Always uncoil the extension cord when in use. DO NOT use an extension cord that has its ground pin damaged or missing.

• Make sure the "ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position. The power switch has international symbols for 'on' and 'off': On (I) Off (O).
• Unwind the power cord completely and plug the GFCI (For US unit only) into a grounded 120 volt outlet.

ON

• Turn on water supply at the faucet to completely open.
• Release safety push trigger lock up and back into trigger. 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. Push trigger lock back down to lock back into place.

OFF/0 ON/I OFF/0 ON/I

• Turn the power switch to the "ON" (|) position. The unit will turn on for 1 - 2 seconds and shut off. This is a normal function of the auto start feature.
• Begin power washing by squeezing the trigger on the spray gun all the way into the handle.
  • Release the spray gun trigger to stop the power washer
• Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before squeezing the trigger again.
• Squeezing rapidly will cause the auto start feature to miss an on/off cycle that may prevent it from turning on while squeezing trigger after rapid squeezing. Use slow deliberate trigger pulls to avoid such symptoms.

• Always test a small area to avoid chance of damaging the surface.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operation Tips

- Note: Test the GFCI (For US unit only) before each use:

1. Plug GFCI into power outlet. Indicator should turn green to show that cord has power.
2. Press test button, green indicator should turn off to verify that GFCI cut off power to the cord.
3. Press reset button – green indicator should turn on to show that cord has power again.

4. When GFCI is working properly, green indicator will turn on when power is applied. If green indicator turns off, it has detected electric leakage and the GFCI cut off power to the appliance.

5. 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.

6. The o-rings on the bayonet end of the nozzle lance should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly.
7. Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging the nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire, a straightened paper clip also works.

How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces

- Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the impact force of the water pressure exceeds the durability of the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated; paint can be peeled

off, etc. You can vary the force of your power washer by controlling:

1. The angle of the surface being cleaned.
2. The distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned.

- NEVER use a narrow high pressure stream of water on soft surfaces susceptible to damage.

Adjusting Soap Levels on Foam Cannon

Twist knob to adjust the level of soap as indicated on the top of the Foam Cannon (H). Turn it clockwise for more concentration, or turn it counter-clockwise for less concentration.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Detergents

• Use detergents designed for power washers. These can be purchased online at our website [e-mail]. Hardware stores or home centers also have power washer detergents for different cleaning projects. The cleaning solution should be the consistency of water in order to prevent clogging your detergent bottle and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced when applied with low pressure and enough time is given to break down dirt and grime. The combination of low pressure and chemical action is very effective and can be better than scrubbing if applied properly. ALWAYS spray detergent on a dry surface.

DO NOT pre-soak area. Wetting the surface first dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on surface. On vertical surfaces being cleaned, apply detergent to lower surfaces and work your way up to prevent detergent from causing streaks in the dirt and grime. Rinse detergent by pressure washing from bottom up for same reason.

- If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to reapply the detergent and use a bristled brush to scrub the stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing should successfully complete your cleaning job.

Cleaning Garden Hose Adapter

- The screen inside the adapter should be cleaned periodically. Remove it by dragging a thumb over the screen with enough pressure to pull the screen and washer out. Rinse it with clean water and then place it back in the adapter.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

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.
• Turn off the unit.
• Turn off the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by squeezing the trigger 2-3 times, and then lock the spray gun by pushing the lock button from left to right.
• Remove nozzle from lance.
• Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an unfolded paper clip), insert the wire into the nozzle hole and move back and forth until debris is dislodged.
• Tap quick connect end of lance on hard surface several times.
• Back flush water through the nozzles using garden hose and highest pressure available (either standard water nozzle or use your thumb over the nozzle to create water pressure for back flush).

Storage

• When your pressure washer session has been completed, turn off the power switch located on the front of the power washer. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Turn off the water supply. Pull the trigger on the spray gun 2-3 times to drain out the excess water and to release any remaining water pressure. Disconnect the garden hose adapter from the water inlet. DO NOT allow the power washer to run with no water flowing through it.
• Remove high pressure hose from spray gun.
• Remove lance from the gun. Place the gun in the holster on the side. Lances are placed into any of the slots in the back of the unit.
• Make sure to discard any remaining detergent from the bottle. Residual chemical will stick to the container which could become cotaminated, and can cause the detergent injector to clog and not function properly. Flush the bottle and nozzle head with fresh water to prevent clogging.
• Hook the power cord around the cord hook on the right side of the machine when facing it.
• The pressure hose is stored on the hose hook located on the back of the handle.
• DO NOT store the power washer where it is exposed to freezing temperatures unless you use SIMPSON
  Pump Guard. Store the power washer indoors to prevent water in the unit from expanding under freezing conditions. When the water freezes and expands, your pressure washer will be damaged and become inoperable. OR, if storing outdoors, it is recommended you use SIMPSON Pump Guard (not included) to protect the pump.

USING SIMPSON® PUMP GUARD

NOTICE

PUMP DAMAGE

Leaving water inside the pump during freezing weather will cause severe damage to the pump. To avoid costly damage, always treat the pump with SIMPSON® Pump Guard to remove the trapped water and to fill the pump with a lubricating, antifreeze solution.

SIMPSON® Pump Guard (purchase separately) is formulated to protect your pump during long-term storage and from freezing damage. Pump Guard should be used throughout the season to keep the seals pliable and well lubricated. Before storing the unit for winter or for when there is a chance of freezing weather, use pump guard to remove all traces of water from the internal cavities while filling them with an antifreeze solution. Pump Guard is insurance for your investment, use it.

Simply use Pump Guard by following these easy steps:

1. Screw the Pump Guard adapter into the garden hose input on the pump.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have any questions regarding this product, please contact our Customer Service Department by calling 1-877-362-4271 or emailing [e-mail].

PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
Unit will not turn on. 1. The GFCI module on the end of the power cord must be plugged into the electrical source.2. With the GFCI Connected make sure the power switch is turned on.3. Press the TEST, then RESET buttons on the GFCI unit.Note:When power switch is turned on, the power washer will turn on by itself for 1-2 seconds and shut off. This is normal.
The high pressure (HP) hose will not connect/ stay connected to the spray gun. Is this a spray gun problem?	In most cases, the spray gun is not the problem. The problem is the rubber sleeve covering the fitting at the end of the high pressure hose. It has likely slipped up toward the metal tip. To fix: wiggle, twist and/or pull the rubber sleeve down until the entire tip is visible plus an 1/8 in. of the metal fitting below the tip. Now try to insert the hose tip into the spray gun. It should "click" into place and will not come out until the hose is released by pushing in the lever on the underside of the gun. You may cut away the end of the sleeve with a sharp knife if unable to move the sleeve down. Be careful not to cut or puncture the hose.Do not push in the release button when connecting the high pressure hose.
The unit is running but there is no water flow.	Power should NOT be turned on until water comes through the spray gun. Doing so will damage the motor.Check the water source.Remove the nozzle from the lance to determine if clog is coming from the nozzle (If nozzle is clogged, see nozzle cleaning instructions under "Cleaning nozzles").Take off the lance and just spray out of the spray gun. This will indicate if the problem is with the lance.Check Garden Hose Adapter for loose connection and the filter for debris.
Why is water leaking where the high pressure hose connects to the spray gun?	Make sure there is an o-ring at the end of the metal tip of the high pressure hose. If no o-ring is present, the connection between the hose and spray gun will leak. O-Ring Replacement Kit (L) is included with purchase.
I can't remove the lance from the spray gun. What should I do?	All lances and the detergent bottles are attached and removed from the extension lance in the same manner. Insert the quick-release end of the lance/detergent bottle into the extension lance. Press the extension lance and lance together (about a 1/8") and turn clockwise. The lance will lock in place. Remove the lance by reversing this procedure. Press the extension lance and lance together and turn counter clockwise. The lance will slide out.Or, hold the extension lance and lance in an upright position with the nozzle end on the floor. Push the whole assembly straight down to loosen the connection, and then follow the removal process again. You may also spray soapy water or a lubricant in the area where the lance connects to the extension lance.
The power washer turns on for 2 seconds, shuts off, and will not turn back on. Do I have a defective unit?	It sounds like your power washer is working just fine. When the water is connected, the accessories are assembled properly, and the power switch is turned on, the power washer may turn on for 1 - 2 seconds to prime the pump. It automatically shuts off and waits for the spray gun trigger to be pressed. When the trigger is pressed, water starts flowing through the pump. The water sensor in the pump "senses" the moving water and automatically turns the power washer on.Turn the power switch to off, hold in the trigger on the spray gun, so that you have a steady stream of water. While you are holding the trigger open on the spray gun, at the same time, turn the power switch on.
