Equipment Description
WARNING Failure to read and follow the operator’s
manual and all operating instructions before using
could result in death or serious injury.
• Read this manual carefully and become familiar with your
electric pressure washer. Know its applications, its limitations,
and any hazards involved.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in
this manual is accurate and current. However, we reserve the
right to change, alter, or otherwise improve the product and this
document at any time without prior notice.
POWERflow+ Technology
POWERflow+ Technology is a deep cleaning pressure washer
with both high pressure to lift dirt AND high flow to easily wash it
away. In the high flow mode, POWERflow+ Technology enhances
the cleaning experience by providing extended reach, power
soaping, and faster rinsing capabilities.
The force behind POWERflow+ is in the pump with two separate
cleaning modes: high pressure and high flow. The high-pressure
mode delivers up to 1800 PSI (pounds square inch) and is ideal
for cleaning the toughest stains, mildew and grime from decks,
driveways and siding, while the high-flow mode delivers up to
4 GPM (gallons per minute) to power-rinse away dirt, soap and
debris. The high flow mode also makes it the best to use for
washing delicate surfaces such as patio furniture, vehicles, and
children’s outdoor play sets and toys.
Briggs & Stratton’s POWERflow+ Technology is a system of
components working in concert to deliver the high-flow capability.
Water is sent from the pump to the specially designed 26 ft. hose
and into the custom-engineered POWERflow+ gun with soft grip
handle. Water then flows into the exclusive 7-in-1 nozzle that
allows user to change from High Pressure to High Flow, without
changing nozzle tips, and propels the stream up to 30 ft.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection
This pressure washer is provided with a ground-fault circuitinterrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power supply cord.
This device provides additional protection from the risk of
electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become
necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI
protection.
Automatic Shut-Off
The electric pressure washer is equipped with a sensor that will
detect that water flow has stopped when releasing or locking the
spray gun trigger. The sensor will cause the motor to shut off for
as long as the spray gun trigger is released or locked.
If the motor continues to run when the spray gun trigger is
released or locked, DO NOT USE THE MACHINE. Call the electric
pressure washer helpline at (800) 743-4115 for assistance.
Motor Overload
The electric motor in this electric pressure washer is equipped
with an overload protection device (thermostat). This device will
automatically shut off the motor if the motor overheats or draws
excessive current.
If the overload protection device is tripped, disconnect the power
supply by turning the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0)
position. Let unit cool for 30 minutes. Then turn the master ON/
OFF switch to the ON (I) position to resume operation.

lock button and squeeze trigger to relieve built up pressure in
the unit.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces could cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor is
stopped and water is disconnected, which could result in
serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, squeeze spray
gun trigger to release high pressure, every time you turn off
pressure washer.
5. Disconnect GFCI plug from outlet and coil power cord.
6. Wrap high pressure hose on hose reel.
7. Coil and store power cord, spray gun, nozzle extension and
7-in-1 nozzle on the accessory tray.
How to Use 7-in-1 Nozzle
The 7-in-1 nozzle allows you to switch between seven different
spray pattern nozzles. Release trigger on spray gun to engage
safety lock before changing spray patterns. The spray patterns
vary as shown below.
Follow these instructions to change nozzle patterns:
1. Select desired spray pattern:
• Select Maximum 0° nozzle setting for stubborn or hard
to reach surface such as second story surfaces, paint
removal, oil stains, rust removal or other stubborn
substances (tar, gum, grease, wax, etc.).
• Select General 15° nozzle setting for tougher cleaning
tasks. Ideal for removing grease and dirt from hard
surfaces. Also capable of stripping paint when held at a
45° angle.
• Select Gentle 40° nozzle setting for gentle cleaning
of cars/trucks, boats, RV’s, patio furniture, lawn
equipment, etc.
• Select Fan Spray nozzle setting for optimal high flow
rinsing away of light dirt and debris.
• Select Fan Spray with Soap nozzle setting for delicate
surface cleaning of cars, trucks, childrens play
equipment, patio furniture, etc.
• Select Extended Reach nozzle setting for quick high flow
clean up and long reach cleaning of second story siding
and windows.
• Select Extended Reach with Soap nozzle setting to
propell soap to second story siding and windows.
2. Turn dial until desired spray pattern lines up with arrow on
7-in-1 nozzle.
Usage Tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep 7-in-1 nozzle from 8 to
24 inches away from cleaning surface.
• If you get 7-in-1 nozzle too close, especially using a high
pressure spray pattern nozzle, you may damage surface
being cleaned.
• Do Not get closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when cleaning
tires.
