Plan a safe direction for runoff to flow while the job is being performed, and plan on working your way in that direction. You will have a clearer idea of the time involved to clean the area after doing a test run, as explained on page 15, #3. 5. PREPARE THE CLEANING AREA. Clear the cleaning area of all objects that are not being cleaned. If any water prone or delicate items cannot be moved, protect or move them. If detergent is to be used, cover or remove any plants or animals that may be damaged by the chemicals in the cleaner. 6. PLACE THE PRESSURE WASHER IN AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION. The location should be protected from any water from the cleaning area; if possible, select a location higher than the cleaning area. The pressure washer’s location should be close enough so that the hose will reach every portion of the job to be done with some slack for movement. Also, select an area with proper access to a dedicated circuit that can be reached with as short an extension cord as possible.

Attach the heavy duty hose to the Pressure Washer, using the Heavy Duty Hose Adapter (G). 3. Attach the Spray Lance (K) or Detergent Bottle (H) into the Spray Wand Extension (I), and press and twist the Wand into the Extension until the Wand locks in place. (See Figure C, page 10.) NOTE: The Pressure Washer will not pressurize if the Nozzle is not completely assembled. It will not work properly with only part of the Wand installed. 4. Connect the High Pressure Hose (26A) to the Pressure Washer. (See Figure D.) Make sure all connections are tight. Then, open the water supply valve fully. If leaks occur, shut off water and retighten connections. 5. IMPORTANT! Prior to turning on the Pressure Washer, connect the unit to the water supply. Turn on the water, disengage the safety, and squeeze the Trigger (23A) until water flows out of the Gun Assembly (E) without sputtering. This removes air from the system and allows the unit to properly perform. Failure to follow this step can damage the Pump. 6. Test the cleaning capabilities and the run before starting your cleaning project, as explained on page 16, #1. Turn the Power Switch to the “ON” position. The motor will briefly run when the switch is first turned on to build up pressure and then go to standby until the trigger is squeezed. DO NOT ALLOW THE UNIT TO REMAIN IDLE FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE OR TWO; the unit will build up heat when it is on standby mode. 7. Point the Nozzle in a safe direction. Then, disengage the Safety and squeeze the Trigger (23A). Switch the unit’s switch to the OFF position whenever the gun is not in use. Clean the area, following the tips contained in the Operating Tips section. 8. When finished spraying, fully engage the Trigger Safety Lock (25A), turn the Power Switch to its “OFF” position, and turn off the water supply. WARNING: Do not disconnect the high-pressure hose or water inlet hose until all pressure is discharged safely. 9. IMPORTANT! When turning off the unit after use, high pressure will remain inside the unit its High Pressure Hose (26A), and the water inlet hose. Point the Gun Assembly (E) in a safe direction and hold the trigger down for several seconds. Then, release the Trigger (23A) and remove the Spray Wand Extension (J). Hold the Trigger until water stops flowing from the gun. The high-pressure hose and water inlet hose can be disconnected after the pressure is released. 10. Store the pressure washer and all accessories in accord with the directions under Storageon page 17. IF ANY UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS ARISE, PLEASE REFER TO THE TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION AT THE END OF THIS MANUAL. For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353; SKU 47761 PAGE 14 Troubleshooting section at end of manual. IMPORTANT! NEVER ALLOW THE UNIT TO SIT IDLE WITH THE SWITCH ON FOR LONGER THAN TWO MINUTES. OPERATING TIPS BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR MACHINE 1. Before beginning work, set aside enough time to familiarize yourself with this machine’s cleaning rate and capacity along with all instructions and precautions contained in this section, along with the Operating Instruction and Operating Controls sections. 2. This unit is intended for various light to moderate cleaning applications. If deeper cleaning is desired, it can be attained at times, however this is done at the expense of speed. This unit is not intended for paint stripping or deep concrete cleaning applications. 3. Clean a test area to satisfaction before proceeding with the entire area, as stated in Cleaning Recommendations on the next page. Use this area to approximate the amount of time required for the project. Be certain to factor in time for touch-ups and cleanup after the general cleaning is finished. 4. This unit has several settings and adjustments that effect the speed of cleaning and the water force applied to clea...
