• It is recommended to carefully read understand all
operating aspects of the pressure washer outlined in this
manual to avoid personal injury and/or damage to property
and to maximize your power washing experience.
• This power washer conforms to CSA and other safety
and consumer standards. DO NOT modify or rebuild any
part of your power washer.
DO NOT use your power washer when you are under
•
the influence of alcohol or drugs. Use this power tool
carefully and only when you are alert.
• Watch your balance and footing while using your
power washer. Surfaces become slippery when wet
and are extra slippery when using a detergent or
cleaner.
• NEVER operate the power washer in bare feet,
sandals, or open-toed shoes.
• When using the power washer near children, make
sure they are closely supervised by an adult to avoid
injury. NEVER let a child use the power washer.
• DO NOT touch the high pressure spray with your
fingers, hands, feet and be careful to avoid any
contact with your eyes as the powerful spray can
cause blindness or blast holes in the skin.
• ALWAYS wear eye protection to prevent injury to eyes
when operating the power washer.
• To avoid accidents causing injury, ALWAYS use the
trigger safety lock when the power washer is not in
use even if the spraying stops for a moment.
• The power washer is equipped with a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) which greatly reduces the
chance of electric shock while the unit is in use. If
replacement of the plug or cord is needed, use only
identical replacement parts. (Model SPY1500V Only)
• Point the spray gun in a safe direction when beginning
to use your pressure washer.
• NEVER spray directly at a person, animal, electrical
device, or the unit itself. The pressure washer can
break glass if hit with direct contact.
• When first using the spray gun, hold the spray gun
and lance with two hands when pulling the trigger
(one hand to pull the trigger and the other to stabilize
the gun) until you get used to the "recoil" from the
spray gun.
• When you turn the power switch to the off position,
water pressure may remain in the system. To release
the pressure, point the spray gun in a safe direction
and pull the trigger.
• NEVER spray flammable liquids.
NEVER use the power washer in areas that contain
•
combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
Examine the hose regularly. Replace if damaged. Due
•
to the high pressure involved, it cannot be repaired if
cut or damaged.
• Only use detergent specifically formulated for power
washers and follow instructions on the detergent's
label.

Safety Information
Detergent can be harmful to your skin, eyes and lungs.
•
Please be cautious when handling any chemicals.
Dish and laundry soap is too thick and will clog the
nozzle of your detergent bottle.
IMPORTANT: Store the power washer indoors in a
heated environment to prevent the water in the unit
from freezing and expanding. When the water freezes
and expands, the high-pressure pump will crack
and render the pressure washer inoperable. It is
recommended you use pump saver (not included) to
protect pumps from freezing and cracking.
• NEVER use hot water with your power washer. It will
overheat and damage the seals and components in the
high-pressure pump that cannot be repaired.
• NEVER leave the power washer "ON" while it is
unattended.
• ALWAYS turn the water supply "ON " before turning
the power washer power to "ON". Running the
pump dry of water will cause damage to the internal
components and render the pressure washer
inoperable.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Servicing of a Double-Insulated Appliance
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection:
The SPY1500V pressure washer has a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the
power-supply cord. A GFCI provides additional protection
from the risk of electric shock. If replacement of the plug
or cord is necessary, use identical replacement parts that
include GFCI protection.
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. Grounding means are
not provided for a double insulated product, nor should
grounding means be added to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system, and should only be
done by qualified service personnel.
NEVER use a water supply to your power washer that
•
exceeds 150 PSI maximum.
NEVER disconnect the high pressure hose from the
•
power washer while the system is pressurized.
NEVER permanently engage the trigger mechanisms
•
on the spray gun.
NEVER operate the power washer unless all
•
components are properly and securely connected.
NEVER allow the power washer pump to run for
•
more than one minute after you have turned off the
water supply. This can cause the motor and pump to
overheat and fail.
• NEVER use an extension power cord since it causes
voltage drop and can burn the motor. Also increases
risk of electric shock to the operator
• NEVER use lances or other parts that are not
compatible for this specific Powerplay unit.
• NEVER spray any electrical outlet with your power
washer.
• Inspect the power cord before using. DO NOT use it if
it is damaged.
A double-insulated product is marked with the words
