Surface Preparation

Before starting any cleaning task, it is important to inspect the area for objects that could create a

hazard. Remove any objects from the work area that could be tripped over, such as toys or outdoor

furniture. Ensure that all doors and windows are closed tightly.

Water Supply (Cold Water Only)

Only draw cold water through the washer. For use with cold water supply only. Water hose must be at

least a 1/2” (13 mm) in diameter. Flow rate of water supply must not fall below 2 GPM (gallons per

minute). Flow rate can be determined by running the water for one minute into an empty 5-gallon

container. Measure the volume of water in the bucket after one minute. The water supply temperature

must not exceed 104°F (40°C).

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Never use the pressure washer to draw in water contaminated with solvents (e.g. paint

thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.).

• Dirt in the water inlet will damage the pressure washer. To avoid this risk, we recommend

inspecting and cleaning water inlet regularly.

• Always prevent debris from being drawn into the washer by using a clean water source and an

additional accessory water lter if required.

• To prolong the life of the washer, rest the washer for 5 minutes after every 30 minutes of use.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Working with detergent ensures a quick soaking of the dirt, and allows the high-pressure water to

penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively.

To apply detergents you must be operating at low-pressure. This provides a gentle application of

detergent, with the pressure equivalent to a garden hose. The high-pressure setting is used for cleaning,

you cannot apply detergents when working at high-pressure.

Always test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.

NO BLEACH

Only use cleaning detergents recommended for pressure washers.

Jet spray adjustment is very strong. Do not adjust while spraying.

CAUTION
