PROPER USE OF THE PRESSURE CLEANER

THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR USE WITH COLD WATER ONLY! DO NOT USE HOT WATER IN THIS PRESSURE CLEANER.

1. Operate the pressure cleaner at no more than the fluid pressure rated for the pressure cleaner. Never run the pressure cleaner without a water supply. Running the unit without a water supply will cause irreparable damage to the unit.
2. Make sure that the water supply you use for the pressure cleaner is not dirty, sandy, or holds any corrosive chemical products. Using a dirty water supply will compromise the long life of the pressure cleaner.
3. CAUTION – The pressure cleaner can be used for a variety of applications, including washing cars, boats, patios, decks, garages, etc., where high pressure is necessary to remove dirt and debris. High-pressure water flow can damage the work surface if not used properly! See the section titled “Operating Instructions” for more details. Always test the spray in an open area first.
4. NEVER move the unit by pulling on the high-pressure hose. Use the handle provided on the top of the unit.
5. Always hold the high-pressure gun and wand with two hands. Keep one hand on the gun/trigger, while supporting the wand with the other hand (see diagram).
6. When dispensing detergent, the pressure cleaner applies detergent to the cleaning area at low pressure only. Once the detergent has been applied, spray the detergent off the work area by using the adjustable nozzle.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

After opening the carton, please remove all parts and check them against the following list of components that are included:

Note:(No:14) Do not lose this accessory at will, it can be used as an after-sales part !!! O-ring(5.6*1.8) is used to connect the high-pressure tube to the gun section, O-ring(9*2.65) for extension Wand

Due to transportation and packaging, some of the accessories may be supplied disassembled. Please follow the assembly instructions.

Step 1

• Install the gun hook.

Step 2

• Install the handle (two screws and nuts).

Step 3

• Connect the external high-pressure tube. Connect the curved end of the external high-pressure pipe to the main body as shown below. The other end is connected to the gun.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS UNIT IS INTENDED TO BE USED WITH COLD WATER ONLY! DO NOT USE HOT WATER IN THIS PRESSURE CLEANER!

Starting Up

After connecting the pressure cleaner to your cold water supply, proceed as follows:

• Make sure that the on/off switch is in the off position.
• Attach the hose to the gun as per the assembly instruction step #3.
• Connect the high-pressure hose to the high-pressure outlet fitting as per assembly step #3.
• Connect the garden hose to the high-pressure washer inlet fitting as per assembly step #5.
• Open the water supply valve completely.
• Before turning the unit on, press the gun trigger to bleed all the remaining air out of the pump and hose.
• Insert the adjustable spray nozzle into the gun as per assembly step #4.
• Start the pressure cleaner by turning the on/off switch to the on position and squeezing the trigger.
• REMINDER: The Motor does not run continuously, only when the trigger is squeezed.
• Note: Leakage switch operation: light on means power on, no light means no power.
• WARNING – RISK OF INJECTION! The unit will start spraying when the trigger is squeezed. When turning the unit off after use, high pressure still exists inside the hose and the unit. Point the gun in a safe direction and discharge the excess pressure. NEVER direct the high-pressure water stream at people or animals.

Automatic On/Off

• The pressure cleaner is equipped with an automatic on/off switch. The pressure cleaner will only run when the power switch is in the ON position and the trigger on the gun is squeezed. When you release the trigger to stop spraying water through the gun, the motor on the pressure cleaner will automatically shut off. Simply squeeze the trigger again to resume using the cleaner. To stop using the pressure cleaner, release the trigger and switch the unit to the OFF position. The unit should be turned completely OFF while not in use or while unattended.

Bleeding the Gun

• It is very important to bleed the gun before using the pressure cleaner. Refer to the “Assembly Instructions” to assemble the pressure cleaner. To bleed the gun, simply connect the garden hose to the pressure cleaner and squeeze the trigger BEFORE turning the electrical supply on. This allows any air trapped inside the pressure cleaner and gun to be removed before using the unit. Continue holding the trigger for approximately one minute to allow any excess air out of the unit. Water will flow through the gun at low pressure during this procedure. For more bleeding tips, see the section titled “Operating Instructions.”

Gun Safety Lock

• This pressure cleaner is equipped with a gun trigger safety lock. When not using the pressure cleaner, use the safety lock to keep from accidentally engaging the high-pressure spray.

Adjustable Spray Nozzle

• The adjustable nozzle will allow you to use any variety of spray patterns from a full fan spray (Diagram 1) to a direct stream spray (Diagram 4). When using the pressure washer to clean wood decks, siding, vehicles, etc., always start using the fan spray and begin spraying from a minimum of 36” away to avoid damaging the surface of the material you are cleaning. Always begin by spraying in a testing area free and clear of people and objects.
• Warning: High-pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.
• Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to clean clothes or footwear.

Unblock Lance

• When the nozzle is clogged, it will cause the pump to build pressure and may cause the unit to surge. You can clean the nozzle by inserting a needle into the tip to remove the deposits.

WATER FILTER AND NOZZLE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

A clogged or partially clogged water filter or nozzle can cause a significant reduction of water pressure coming out of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while spraying.

1. The water filter is installed inside the water inlet quick connector and should be cleaned periodically. Rinse it with clean tap water and then place it back into the water inlet quick connector.
2. 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. Back-flush water through the nozzles using a garden hose and the highest pressure available (either a standard water nozzle or use your thumb over the nozzle to create water pressure for back-flushing).
