flow.
A narrow spray is good for cleaning grills, driveways,
u
sidewalks and brick work.
A wide spray is good for cleaning decking, vinyl,
u
painted surfaces, auto/rv and stucco.
Note: The high pressure spray from your pressure cleaner is
capable of causing damage to surfaces such as wood, glass,
automobile paint, auto striping and trim, and delicate objects
such as flowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item
to be cleaned to assure yourself that it is strong enough to
resist damage from the force of the spray.

u
structions on connecting the water supply to the pressure

Preparing pressure cleaner
Important: Disengage the trigger lock-off (4),squeeze the
trigger (7) and hold the trigger for 30 seconds to purge the
system of air. If air is still found in the water stream, continue

Cleaning a surface
Warning! Risk of injury from spray. Always engage the trigger
lock when gun is not in use. Failure to do so could cause
accidental spraying.
To start the pressure cleaner, disengage the trigger lock-
u
off (4) and squeeze the trigger (7).
Note: The best angle for spraying water against a cleaning
surface is 45°. Spraying head on tends to cause dirt particles
to embed in the surface. When working on vertical surfaces, it
is best to apply detergent starting at the bottom and working
upwards which will prevent the detergent from sliding down
and causing streaks.
To stop the pressure cleaner, release the trigger.
u
Note: Excessive pump pressure may be the result of a
clogged nozzle or brass coupling.
Always turn off the pressure cleaner and remove the battery
before attempting to unclog a nozzle or brass coupler.
Warning! Never draw from water that contains chemicals.
Only draw from fresh water sources.
Shutdown
To stop the pressure cleaner, release the trigger and
u
remove the battery.
Turn off water at the faucet.
u
Discharge residual pressure by squeezing the trigger ( 7 )
u
until no more water comes out of the spray wand ( 9 ).
Disconnect the garden hose from the water intake ( 3 )
u
and drain hose.
Remove garden hose from pressure cleaner by pulling
u
back the collar on the quick connect hose adapter and
removing it from the quick connect filter.

Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
unit off and remove the battery pack before making any ad-
justments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
