SafeGuardS, WarninGS and Safety tipS
• To avoid personal injury and/or damage
to property and to maximize your power
washing experience, carefully follow all of
the safety tips, instructions, warnings and
safeguards and become familiar with all of
the controls. Be sure you know how to quickly
bleed off the pressure from all parts of your
power washer, and how to turn off the power
washer .
• This power washer conforms to CSA and
other safety and consumer standards. Do
not modify or rebuild any part of your power
washer.
• Do not use your power washer when you are
under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Use
this power tool carefully and only when you
are alert .
• Watch your balance and footing while using
your power washer. Surfaces become
slippery when wet and are extra slippery when
using a detergent or cleaner.
• Never operate the power washer in bare feet,
sandals, or open-toed shoes.
• When using the power washer near children
make sure they are closely supervised by an
adult to avoid injury. Never let a child use the
power washer.
• Keep ngers, hands, feet and any part
of your body clear of the stream of high
pressure water. The powerful spray can cause
blindness or blast holes in the skin. It can
break a window if you are too close when you
pull the trigger on the spray gun .
• Always wear eye protection to prevent injury
to eyes when operating the power washer.
• To avoid mishaps or injury, always use the
trigger safety lock when not using the power
washer even if the spraying stops for a
moment.
• The power washer is equipped with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) which greatly
reduces the chance of electric shock while the
unit is in use.
• Point the spray gun in a safe direction when
beginning a power washing session.
• When rst using the spray gun, hold the spray
gun and lance with two hands when pulling
the trigger until you get used to the “kick
back” from the spray gun (one hand to pull
the trigger and the other to stabilize the gun
assembly).
5
Page 6
• When you press the power switch to turn off
the power washer, water pressure may remain
in the system. To discharge the pressure,
point the spray gun in a safe direction and
pull the trigger.
• Never disconnect the high pressure hose
from the power washer while the system is
pressurized.
• Never permanently engage the trigger
mechanisms on the spray gun.
• Never spray ammable liquids.
• Never use the power washer in areas that
contain combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
• Avoid contact of the pressure hose with sharp
objects and examine the hose regularly.
Replace if damaged. Due to the high pressure
involved, it cannot be repaired if cut of
damaged.
• Only use detergent specically formulated
for power washers and follow instructions
on the detergent’s label. We have a selection
of power washer detergents to choose from.
Go to www.arblueclean.com for more
information and to order the detergents.
Power washer detergents are also available
at your local hardware store.
• Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure
to detergent. Dish or laundry soap is too thick
and will clog the nozzle of your detergent
tank.
• IMPORTANT: Store the power washer
indoors to prevent the water in the unit
from expanding under freezing conditions.
When the water freezes and expands, your
power washer will be damaged and become
inoperable. Or, if storing outdoors, it is
recommended you use Pump Saver. Pump
Saver can be purchased on our website:
www.arblueclean.com. See details in the
Pump Saver section of this manual.
• Never use hot water with your power washer.
It will overheat and damage the high pressure
pump.
• Never operate the power washer unless
all components are properly and securely
connected.
• Never allow the power washer pump to run
for more than one minute, after you have
turned off the water supply. This can cause
the motor and pump to overheat and fail.
• Never use lances or other parts that have not
been supplied with your power washer.
• Never use an extension power cord since it
defeats the effectiveness of the GFCI and
increases the chance of electrocuting the
operator.
• Never spray any electrical outlet with your
power washer.
• Inspect the power cord before using. Do not
use it if it is damaged.

UnPacking & aSSembLy
• After unpacking the BLUE CLEAN POWER WASHER, lay out parts and accessories. Familiarize
yourself with the parts in the package by comparing them to those listed on the “PACKAGE
CONTENTS” page.
• The BLUE CLEAN POWER WASHER requires some minor assembly. You’ll need a Phillips
screwdriver to install the high pressure hose hook and the nozzle tray.
NOTE: Some parts may or may not be already assembled.
• Install the hose hook on the back of your BLUE CLEAN POWER WASHER (Fig. 1) handle. You’ll
notice where the hose hook meets the back of the unit. Place the screws in the holes provided on
the high pressure hose hook and screw them in. Do not use a power screwdriver. When the screw
is completely tight, give a small nal clockwise twist of the screwdriver. Do not over tighten.
Fig. 1
• Slide the spray gun holder onto the left side of the washer when facing it. This does not require
any screws. (Fig. 2)
Fig. 2 Fig. 3
• Slip tab into slot and screw the nozzle tray on the bottom portion of the unit. (Fig. 3) When
placing the gun with the lance attached the nozzle will rest in this tray.

• Extending and lowering the handle (Fig. 4):
Extend the handle up by pressing the center of the upper cord hook and pull handle up until it
locks in place.
NOTE: If handle does not easily slide up, add some lubricant to help make it glide easier.
Lowering the handle by pressing the center of the upper cord hook and push down on the
handle until all the way down.
Fig. 4
• Easily remove the power cord from side of unit by swiveling the bottom cord hook to the right or
left until it faces up. The power cord then can be easily slid off of the side of the power washer
unit. (Fig. 5)

High Pressure Hose
• Screw the high pressure hose (clockwise) on the left of the unit at the bottom (Fig. 5). Pull back
the collar and insert o-ring post into the water outlet far enough so the collar can thread onto the
outlet threads until hand tight. Do not use pliers or vice grips to tighten. If it takes fewer than six or
so turns you have not properly tightened the high pressure hose tting. It is easier to position the
power washer in front of you so to ensure that the threads are started correctly. Failure to properly
tighten the high pressure hose will result in the hose slipping or popping off immediately upon
turning the unit on. Do not worry about damage if this occurs - just reinstall and take extra care at
screwing on the high pressure hose tting.
Fig. 5 Fig.6
• Connect the other end of the high pressure hose to the spray gun by inserting the brass metal tip
of the high pressure hose into the tting just ahead of the trigger guard. It will lock into the spray
gun with a “click” (Fig. 6). Conrm the hose is locked into the spray gun by pulling slightly on the
hose. The hose is now securely attached to the spray gun.
• To release the hose from the spray gun, press the button on the underside of the gun toward the
trigger guard. The hose will slide out from the connection (Fig. 7).

the end of the spray gun by inserting and pushing together turning clockwise simultaneously. To
remove push together and turn counter clockwise (Fig. 9).
Fig. 9
Fig. 10
Remember to always push the safety lock button to lock the trigger when changing lances, to
ensure that they do not accidentally eject with force during removal.
• When using the turbo lance, make sure the turbo nozzle is screwed on tight at the end of the
lance, each time you use it. The Turbo lance is designed for high impact cleaning. Only use on
hard surfaces such as driveways, cement surfaces, patio bricks, etc. (Fig. 10).
Always test a small area to avoid chance of damaging the surface.
• Using High/Low Nozzle. High Pressure spray is used for cleaning and Low Pressure spray
activates the detergent function.
• The adjustable spray nozzle had has two (2) positions (Fig. 11):
IN position
High Pressure Setting
Low Pressure Setting
OUT position
Fan Spray
Pencil Stream
IN position for high pressure spray. Twist the nozzle clockwise until it stops and gap is closed.
OUT position for low pressure spray for detergent function. Twist the nozzle counterclockwise
until it stops and gap is open.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When applying detergent using low pressure spray, the variable spray head
must be set for the “Pencil Stream”. This is when the metal blades in front of the nozzle is wide open
so the detergent spray is not constricted.
• When using the detergent, ll it with a properly formulated detergent or cleaner with water ratio
according to instructions on the container (Fig. 13). The detergent tank comes with a straw which
is tted into the screw-on top. If you don’t see the straw, look inside the bottle and attach it to the
screw-on top (Fig. 14).

Cleaning nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause signicant reduction of water pressure coming out
of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while spraying.
• Turn off the unit
• Turn off the water supply to the unit
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by squeezing the trigger 2-3 times, and then lock the
spray gun by pushing the lock button from left to right.
• The screen inside the clear adapter should be cleaned periodically. Insert a pen or pencil in small
hole at the end of the adapter. The screen lter will slide out (Fig. 22). Rinse it with clean water,
and then place it back in the adapter..
• 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 (Fig. 23). Back ush water through the
nozzles using garden hose and highest pressure available (either standard water nozzle or use
your thumb over the nozzle to create water pressure for back ush).

oPerating tiPS and maintenance
• If you hear the motor run intermittently when the trigger is not being squeezed, that is normal. The
pump is priming itself so it is ready to operate when the trigger is squeezed. Turn off the power
washer if not being used after ve minutes.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the adjustable lance should be cleaned regularly and lubricated
with non-water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire, Which is taped to this manual for use in unclogging the lance
nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire an unbent paper clip works ne.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the impact force of the water pressure
exceeds the durability of the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated; paint can be peeled off, etc.
You can vary the force of your power washer by controlling:
a. the angle of the surface being cleaned
b. the distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the turbo lance on soft surfaces susceptible
to damage.
• Use the high/low nozzle lance when cleaning windows. Be sure to adjust the nozzle to low spray
and place the nozzle approximately four to ve feet away from the window with the nozzle at
forty ve degree angle. Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray pattern and angle until optimum
cleaning efciency is achieved (Fig. 24).
Twist to Adjust Spray
Detergent Injector/Storage
• Use detergents designed for power washers. We offer four (4)
power washer detergents, Auto, Motorcycle, Boat and Universal.
These can be purchased online at our website www.arblueclean.
com. Hardware stores or home centers also have power washer
detergents for different cleaning projects. The cleaning solution
should be the consistency of water in order to prevent clogging
your detergent tank and nozzle.

• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The cleaning power of the detergents
is enhanced when applied with low pressure; and time is allowed to break down the dirt
and grime. The combination of low pressure and chemical action is very effective and can
be better than scrubbing if applied properly. Always spray detergent on a dry surface, do
not pre-soak area. Wetting the surface rst dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning
ability. Do not allow detergent to dry on surface. On vertical surfaces being cleaned, apply
detergent to lower surfaces and work your way up to prevent detergent from causing
streaks in the dirt and grime. Rinse detergent by pressure washing from bottom up for
same reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to reapply the detergent and use a bristled
brush to scrub the stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing should successfully complete
your cleaning job.
Storage
• Remove lance from the gun and place in the accessory holder. Place the gun in the accessory
holder one the side. Lances are placed into any of the slots in the back of the unit. Make sure
to discard any remaining detergent from the bottle. Flush the bottle and nozzle head with fresh
water to prevent clogging.
• When your pressure washing session has been completed, turn off the power switch located on
the front of the power washer. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Turn off the water supply.
Pull the trigger on the spray gun 2-3 times to drain out the excess water and to release any
remaining water pressure. Disconnect the garden hose adapter from the water inlet. Do not allow
the power washer to run with no water owing through it.
• Remove detergent tank and clean completely. Residual chemical will stick to the container and
can cause the detergent injector to clock and not function properly.
• Remove high pressure hose from spray gun and unscrew the other end of the high pressure hose
from the power washer.
• Wrap the power cord around the L-shaped tabs on the right side of the machine when facing it.
• The pressure hose is stored on the hose hook located on the back of the handle.
• DO NOT store the power washer where it is exposed to freezing temperatures unless
you use Pump Saver. It is recommended that you use Pump Saver for storing in freezing
temperatures. Freezing will damage the pump unless Pump Saver is added to the power washer.
If not using or if storing your power washer for more than one month, run Pump Saver through it.
See the section on Pump Saver for more information.

Why is water leaking
where the high pressure
hose connects to the
spray gun?
I can’t remove the lance
from the spray gun.
What should I do?
The power washer turns
on for 2 seconds, shuts
off, and will not turn
back on. Do I have a
defective unit?
In most cases, the spray gun is not the problem. The problem is the
rubber sleeve covering the tting at the end of the high pressure hose.
It has likely slipped up toward the metal tip. The x: wiggle, twist and/
or pull the rubber sleeve down until the entire tip is visible plus an 1/8”
of the metal tting below the tip. Now try to insert the hose tip into the
spray gun. It should “click” into place and will not come out until the
hose is released by pushing in the lever on the underside of the gun.
You may cut away the end of the sleeve with a sharp knife if unable to
move the sleeve down. Be careful not to cut or puncture the hose.
Check the water source. Unclog the nozzle on the lance. (See nozzle
cleaning instructions under “Cleaning nozzles”.) Or take off the lance
and just spray out of the spray gun. This will indicate if the problem is
with the lance.
Make sure there is an o-ring at the end of the metal tip of the high
pressure hose. If no o-ring is present, the connection between the
hose and spray gun will leak. O-Ring Kits are available online at www.
arblueclean.com or call Customer Service at 1-866-235-5112 to place
an order.
All lances and the detergent tank are attached and removed from the
spray gun in the same manner. Insert the quick-release end of the
lance/detergent tank into the spray gun. Press the spray gun and
lance together (about a 1/8”) and turn clockwise. The lance will lock
in place. Remove the lance by reversing this procedure. Press the
spray gun and lance together and turn counter clockwise. The lance
will slide out. Or, hold the spray gun and lance in an upright position
with the nozzle end on the oor. Push the whole assembly straight
down to loosen the connection, and then follow the removal process
again. You may also spray soapy water or a lubricant in the area
where the lance connects to the spray gun.
It sounds like your power washer is working just ne. When the water
is connected, the accessories are assembled properly, and the power
switch is turned on, the power washer may turn on for 1 - 2 seconds to
prime the pump. It automatically shuts off and waits for the spray gun
trigger to be pressed. When the trigger is pressed, water starts owing
through the pump. The water sensor in the pump “senses” the moving
water and automatically turns the power washer on. Or, turn the power
switch to off, hold in the trigger on the spray gun, so that you have a
steady stream of water. While you are holding the trigger open on the
spray gun, at the same time, turn the power switch on.
