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. 14).

Fig. 14

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 Nozzles

Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Use the 40^ wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn equipment.

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.
