OVERVIEW

APPLICATION

THE PORTABLE PRESSURE WASHING MACHINE is a highly specialized multifunctional machine with
exceptionally reliable safety assurance, which may be used to wash and clean cars, bikes and other
outdoor equipment or garden patios, green houses etc.

Helpful Hints for Getting Started

AUTOMATIC ON/OFF:

The motor on this pressure washer does not run continuously. It only runs when the trigger of the
spray gun is squeezed. After following the start up procedures in this manual, turn the pressure
washer ON and squeeze the trigger for activation. See the section of this manual entitled “Operating
Instructions” for further details on this feature.

BLEEDING THE GUN:

It is very important to bleed the gun before using the pressure washer. Squeeze the trigger to allow
any air that is trapped inside of the unit and hose to escape. Continue to squeeze trigger until a
steady stream of water comes from the nozzle. (This process may take up to 2 minutes). See the
section of this manual entitled “Operating Instructions” for further details on this process.

SPRAY NOZZLES

The Pressure Washer comes furnished with four spray nozzles. Each nozzle is colorcoded and
delivers a specific spray pattern and pressure for a particular cleaning job.
The size of the nozzle determines the size of the fan spray and the pressure out of the nozzle.

0°Nozzle – Red: This nozzle delivers a pinpoint stream of pressurized water and is extremely
powerful. It covers only a small area of cleaning. This nozzle should only be directed at surfaces
that can withstand high pressure such as metal or concrete. Do not use this nozzle to clean wood.
(fig 1)

15° Nozzle – Yellow: This nozzle delivers a powerful 15 degree spray pattern for intense cleaning
of small areas. This nozzle should only be used on areas and materials that can withstand high
pressure. (fig 2)

25° Nozzle – Green: This nozzle delivers a 25 degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of larger
areas. This nozzle should only be used on areas that can withstand pressure from this nozzle. (fig 3)

40° Nozzle – Yellow: This nozzle delivers a 40 degree spray pattern and a less powerful stream of
water. This nozzle can cover a wide area and should be used for most general cleaning jobs. (fig 4)
