OPERATION

HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

How to Start Your Electric Pressure Washer

If you have any problems operating your pressure washer,
please call the pressure washer helpline at 1-866-235-5112.

• The Craftsman 2-IN-1 can be wheeled around, or carried by

hand. To wheel the pressure washer around, grab the handle
and tilt the frame back. Use the handle to wheel the pressure
washer to the desired location. For instructions on how to
remove the pressure washer from the frame for hand held use,
see instructions on the next page.

• Turn on water supply at the faucet.

• Make sure the power switch is off (light will be off).

• Unwind the power cord completely and plug into a grounded

120 volt outlet.

• Turn the safety lock button on the spray gun to unlocked. While

pointing the spray gun in a safe direction, squeeze the trigger
on the spray gun until there is a steady stream of water flowing
from the nozzle tip.

• To pressurize the flow of water, push the power button to turn
the unit on (red power light will turn on). The unit will turn on for
1 - 2 seconds and shut off. This is a normal function of the auto
start feature.

OFF ON

• Begin power washing by squeezing the trigger on the spray gun
all the way into the handle.

• Release the spray gun trigger to stop the power washer.

• Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before squeezing
the trigger again.

• Squeezing rapidly will cause the auto start feature to miss an
on/off cycle that may prevent it from turning on while squeezing
trigger after rapid squeezing. Use slow deliberate trigger pulls to
avoid such symptoms.

• Always test a small area to avoid chance of damaging the
surface.
