GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of adapter with this product.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT

INTERRUPTER PROTECTION

This pressure washer is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk of electrical shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection. See Figure 7 for testing procedure.

WARNING: Connect directly to outlet. Do not use with extension cord. The use of an extension cord will override the GFCI built into the plug of the power supply cord resulting in the risk of electrical shock.

CAUTION: The pressure washer must only be used with clean water; use of unfiltered water or corrosive chemicals will damage the pressure washer.

OPERATION

NOTE: Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and distance for maximum cleaning results. If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use extreme caution as pressure washer may remove the loose paint from the surface.

The PW1300 Pressure Washer is equipped with automatic delivery flow cut-off:

When the trigger is released, the dynamic pressure automatically cuts out the motor.

When the trigger is pressed the pressure drop automatically starts the motor and the pressure is restored with a very slight delay.

Figure 6 - Plug the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) (F) into a working grounded outlet. TEST BEFORE EACH USE. The indicator at the top of the GFCI should turn red when product is ready to use. Press the “TEST” button (bottom). The red indicator should disappear. Press “RESET” button for use. Do not use if the above test fails.

Figure 7 - Release the safety catch shown in Figure 7, by pressing down on the latch behind the trigger, or by pushing the trigger forward, then press the trigger for a few seconds to allow air to escape and to discharge residual pressure in the hoses.

Figure 8 - Turn on the pressure washer by depressing the bottom half of the switch (H) marked “I”. The unit will run for a few seconds as it builds up pressure, then will shut off. It will run on demand as the gun trigger is depressed. Turn off the pressure washer by depressing the top half of the switch marked “0”.

YOUR PRESSURE WASHER IS NOW READY TO USE - PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING FOR DETAILS ON ACCESSORIES APPLICATION.

ACCESSORIES

CAUTION: Before changing accessories, turn unit off, pull trigger to release pressure, and activate safety catch.

• ADJUSTABLE FAN WAND

1.) Insert the fan wand (D) into the gun

wand (E) by pushing and rotating until the two parts are locked as shown in

Figure A.

2.) To obtain maximum pressure, rotate

the fan wand nozzle in a clockwise direction as shown in FIgure B. This narrow stream results in deeper cleaning in a concentrated area. For a wider fan pattern rotate the fan wand nozzle in the counterclockwise direction. The wider fan pattern reduces the risk of surface damage and allows for cleaning large surface areas quickly.

3.) To remove, press wand into gun and twist as shown in Figure C.

• TURBO NOZZLE

1.) Insert the turbo nozzle (C) into the gun wand (E) by pushing and rotating until the two parts are locked as shown in

Figure D.

2.) There is no adjustment required with

the turbo nozzle.

3.) To remove, press nozzle into gun and twist as shown in Figure E.

• DETERGENT APPLICATOR Follow manufacturer’s label directions for

mixing correct concentrations of soap and detergents.

To use the applicator:

1.) Unscrew top of detergent applicator (G) and fill with detergent.

2.) Replace top.

3.) Insert detergent applicator (G) into

gun wand (E). Twist detergent bottle until it clicks firmly into place as shown in

Figure F.

4.) Apply detergent from the bottom to

the top to prevent detergent from sliding down and streaking.

5.) Leave detergent on the surface for a few minutes but do not allow it to begin to dry.

6.) Remove detergent applicator from the gun wand by turning the detergent bottle 1/4 turn and pulling straight out.

7.) Rinse detergent from surface.

8.) Flush detergent applicator with clean

water.

particles to imbed in the surface. When working on vertical surfaces, it is best to apply detergent starting at the bottom and working upwards which will prevent the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks.

SHUTDOWN

1. Depress the off switch and unplug the cord from the outlet.

2. Turn off water at the faucet.

3. Discharge residual pressure by

pressing the trigger until no more water comes out of the adjustable nozzle.

4. Engage the gun safety catch.

5. Disconnect the garden hose from the

water inlet.

6. Disconnect the high pressure hose from the high pressure outlet and drain hose.

STORAGE

1. Store pressure washer indoors away from areas that might freeze.

2. Do not allow high pressure hose to become kinked.

3. Turn unit on for a few seconds until all water is removed from the pump. Turn off immediately.

MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. CAUTION: Never use the pressure washer to clean itself.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.

ACCESSORIES

Recommended accessories for use with your pressure washer are available from your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance regarding accessories, please call: 1-800-544-6986.

WARNING: The use of any accessory

not recommended for use with this pressure washer could be hazardous.

NOTE: DO NOT USE:

• Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive chemicals.

• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinners, gasoline, oils)

• Tri-sodium phosphate products

• Ammonia products

• Acid-based products These chemicals will harm the unit and

will damage the surface being cleaned.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Before starting any cleaning task it is important to inspect the area for objects which could create a hazard. Remove objects from the area which could be tripped over such as children's toys or outdoor furniture. Insure that all doors and windows are closed tight. Also make sure that all plants and trees in the adjacent area are protected by a drop cloth ensuring that they will not be harmed by any overspray.

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS

• Remove the spray wand from the gun as shown in Figure G. Remove any dirt from the spray wand nozzle hole and rinse.

• For cleaning tasks such as deck or brick patio cleaning, limit your work area to approximately 25 square feet at a time.

• Pre-rinse cleaning area with fresh water.

• Use only detergents formulated for pressure washers.

• Always test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.

• Begin with a wide fan nozzle spray and adjust the pressure to the desired spray pattern.

• The best angle for spraying water against a cleaning surface is 45 degrees. Spraying head on tends to cause dirt
