Surface Preparation
Before starting any cleaning task, it is important to inspect the area for objects that could
create a hazard. Remove any objects from the work area that could be tripped over, such
as toys or outdoor furniture. Ensure that all doors and windows are closed tightly.
Water Supply (Cold Water Only)
Only draw water through the unit. For use with cold water supply only. Garden hose must
be at least a 1/2” (13 mm) in diameter. Flow rate of water supply must not fall below 2
GPM (gallons per minute) [9.1 LPM (liters per minute)]. Flow rate can be determined by
running the water for one minute into an empty 5-gallon (19 L) container. The water supply
temperature must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
CaUTiOn
• Never use the pressure washer to draw in water contaminated with solvents (e.g.
paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.).
• Dirt in the water inlet will damage the unit. To avoid this risk, we recommend checking
the water lter (located inside the water inlet. To clean it out, see Maintenance
section).
• Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by using a clean water source
and an additional accessory water lter if required.
• To prolong the life of the unit, rest the unit for 5 minutes after every 30 minutes of use.

CLEANING DETERGENTS DISPENSER
Only use cleaning detergents recommended for pressure washers.
Always follow detergent manufacturer’s label recommendations for proper use of
detergents or soap. Always protect eyes, skin and respiratory system from detergent if
used.
CaUTiOn
Working with detergent ensures a quick soaking of the dirt, and allows the highpressure water to penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively. Always spray
detergent on a dry surface, do not pre-soak area. Wetting the surface rst dilutes
the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
To apply detergents you must be operating at low pressure. This provides a gentle
application of detergent, with the pressure equivalent to the lowest garden hose.
The high-pressure setting is used for cleaning, you cannot apply detergents
when working at high pressure.
Always test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
NO BLEACH
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 Engage gun safety lock. 2 Attach the low-pressure spray tip
(black) for soap or detergent application. Detergent application will only
work with low pressure spray tip.
3 Lift up to remove the cap of deter-
gent tank, ll tank with detergent
or soap and replace the cap. Apply detergent as instructed by the
detergent manufacturer.
