ELECTRIC MOTOR START PROCEDURE
1. Review all the safety warnings at the beginning of the manual. Turn the motor
to the off position.
2. Follow all the pre-operation steps before starting.
3. Connect pressure washer to a power source that matches the unit's
requirements. It is critically important to have the pressure washer connected
to the correct power source, including volt, amp, and circuit breaker capacity.
Using a wrong power source will prevent start up, or damage the motor
causing it to fail.
4. Hold the spray gun, point it in a safe direction and squeeze the trigger.
5. Locate the ON/OFF switch on the pressure washer. Brace yourself for
possible kickback from the spray wand, and turn machine on.
If your electric pressure washer is equipped with an auto start/stop system, it will
completely turn off when the spray gun trigger is released. Both pump and motor
will be inactive even though it is plugged in and turned on. When the trigger is
squeezed, the system will detect this and turn on. There will be a time delay
between depressing/releasing the trigger and the machine turning on/off.
Always turn the machine off when it is not going to be used for a significant
period of time. Do not rely on the auto start/stop system because if it fails, it will
lead to pump and/or motor failures.
ELECTRIC MOTOR STOP PROCEDURE
1. Keep the spray gun trigger squeezed and pointing in a safe direction.
2. Turn the motor to the off position.
3. Keep trigger squeezed to make sure all the pressure is released and it is only
garden hose pressure.
4. Unplug machine (if applicable, some may be hard wired).
5. Disconnect and drain hoses.
GENERAL PRESSURE WASHER OPERATION TECHNIQUES
1. Always follow safety practices as outlined.
2. Always begin spraying at a safe distance from the intended surface and move
closer until the desired cleaning effect can be observed.
3. Generally, do not use a 90° spray angle. Instead, it is usually more effective to
use a shallower angle so that the reflecting spray can be directed in safe and
controlled direction.
4. Holding down the trigger, move the wand side-to-side to clean the surface.
Once you get a feel for how the cleaning performance behaves you will
naturally find your rhythm.
5. Always be aware of what you are spraying and take greater care on fragile
surfaces such as wood or glass to prevent damage.
6. Always remember to squeeze the trigger once every 30 seconds to flush the
pump with cool water to prevent overheating.
7. If you have to stop washing for more than a few minutes, you should turn off
the machine.
