safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury. These include:
• Know your product – Know how to stop the machine and
bleed pressure quickly. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with
the controls.
• Keep bystanders away – All visitors and pets should be
kept a safe distance away from the work area.
• Use the right product – Do not use this machine for any
job except that for which it is intended.
• Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
They can get caught in moving parts. Protective rubber
gloves and non-slip footwear are recommended when
working outdoors.
•
mCAUTION! – Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.

should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used
for this pressure washer. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure
of safety.
• Inspect electrical cables – The insulation of the power
cord should be perfectly intact. If the power cord is
damaged or shows any signs of wear or tear, do not use

Electrical Safety
ATTENTION: If there are problems with the electrical
MAINS, short voltage drops may appear when starting the
equipment. This can, in turn, inuence other equipment
(e.g. cause a lamp to blink). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax
< 0.335 OHM, such disturbances are not expected. (If you
require assistance, contact your local supply authority for
further information.)
mWARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard – Before starting
up your machine, please check it carefully for any defects.
If you nd any, do not start up your machine. Contact your
authorized Snow Joe
+ Sun Joe
(1-866-766-9563).
The following should be observed when connecting the
high-pressure electric power washer to the electric supply:
• The electric supply connection should be performed by a
• The electric supply to this appliance should include either

qualied person.
a residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the
leakage current to the earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a
device that will interrupt the earth circuit (GFCI).
IMPORTANT: Only use water without any impurities.
If there is a risk of running sand into the inlet water (i.e. from
your own well), an additional lter should be installed.
Safety devices
The unloader valve can reduce pressure if it exceeds preset
values. The spray gun features a locking device. When the lock
is activated, the spray gun cannot be operated.
1. Thermal sensor – A thermal sensor protects the motor
against overloading. The machine will restart after a few
minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled.
2. Double insulation – In a double-insulated appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added
to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be performed only by qualied service personnel at
an authorized Snow Joe
parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical
to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance
is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or “Double
Insulated.” The symbol
also be marked on the appliance.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection – A
GFCI should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for this pressure washer. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.

4. It is not recommended to use an extension cord with this
pressure washer. The unit comes standard with a 35 ft GFCI
power cable. Using an extension cord may cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). The
appliance plug will t into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the appliance plug does not t fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, make sure that
you are using the correct polarized wall outlet. If the plug
still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install
the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug,
power cord receptacle, or power cord plug in any way.
m WARNING m
6. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.

Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric pressure washer
to make contact with water while it is in operation. If
the appliance becomes wet while turned o, wipe dry
before starting.
• Do not use an extension cord over 25 ft. The
pressure washer comes equipped with a 35 ft power
cable. Combined cord length must not exceed 60 ft.
Any extension cord must be 16-gauge (or heavier) to
safely power the pressure washer.
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
oers some protection.

Operation
IMPORTANT! This pressure washer is equipped with
m
a micro-switch sensitive to water ow. This Total Stop System
(TSS) senses water ow in the pump. When the trigger is
released, water stops owing through the pump. The TSS then
automatically turns the motor o to protect the pump from
overheating, thus saving energy and prolonging pump life.
1. Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency
(Volt/Hz) correspond to those specied on the pressure
washer rating plate. If the power supply is correct, you
may now plug the pressure washer into the power outlet
(Fig. 10).
Fig. 10
2. Position the washer as CLOSE as possible to the
water supply.
3. The washer must be used on a secure and stable surface
in a standing, upright position (Fig. 11).
Fig. 11
4. Turn the water supply tap on completely.
5. Unlock the safety lock, then press the trigger for a few
seconds until the water ow is steady. Operating the
pressure washer in this manner will allow air to escape and
discharge residual pressure in the hose (Fig. 12).

mWARNING! High-pressure jets can be dangerous if
subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
pets, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.
1. The washer is equipped with an adjustable nozzle.
2. The water pressure can be adjusted from low pressure (–)
to high pressure (+) by turning the pressure adjustment
knob. The nozzle tip can be adjusted from pencil spray
(wide open tip) to fan spray (narrow tip) by turning the
nozzle tip adjustment knob (Fig. 13).

3. With the nozzle tip adjusted to a low-pressure fan spray,
apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry
surface to be cleaned. Applying detergent in this manner
will dissolve dirt most eectively.
NOTE: Wetting the surface rst is not recommended as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
4. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing with the pressure washer. Do not allow
the detergent to dry on the surface.
Shutting down
1. Turn the switch to the OFF (0) position and unplug the
power cord from the outlet.
2. Turn o the water source.
3. Hold the trigger to release water pressure.
4. Disconnect the garden hose from the water inlet on

2. Turn the switch to the OFF (0) position.
3. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Storage
CAUTION! Always store your pressure washer in a
m
location where the temperature will not fall below 32ºF (0ºC).
The pump in this machine is susceptible to permanent damage
if it freezes. FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY.
• Store the pressure washer indoors in a dry, covered area
where it is not subject to adverse weather conditions.
• It is important to store this product in a frost-free area.

Winterizing + long-term storage
If you must store your pressure washer in a location where
the temperature falls below 32ºF (0ºC), you can minimize the
chance of damage to your machine by utilizing the following
procedure:
• Disconnect all water connections.
• Turn on the machine for a few seconds until the remaining
water in the pump exits. Turn o immediately.
• Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
• Store the machine and accessories in a room that does
not reach freezing temperatures.
• Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat that
may dry out the pump seals.
• Operate the pressure washer with non-corrosive/non-toxic
anti-freeze, a pump saver, or a pump protector before
storing for the winter.
mWARNING! Before reusing, completely ush the unit
out with clear water. Anti-freeze products can damage
paintwork, so you must ensure there is no anti-freeze left in the
system before using it again.
