Operation Tips
•
Test the GFCI (For US unit only) before each use:
Note:
1. Plug GFCI into power outlet. Indicator should turn green to
show that cord has power.
2. Press test button, green indicator should turn off to verify
that GFCI cut off power to the cord.
3. Press reset button – green indicator should turn on to
show that cord has power again.
4. When GFCI is working properly, green indicator will turn
on when power is applied. If green indicator turns off, it
has detected electric leakage and the GFCI cut off power
to the appliance.
• If you hear the motor run intermittently when the trigger is
not being squeezed, that is normal. The pump is priming itself
so it is ready to operate when the trigger is squeezed. Turn off
the power washer if not being used after five minutes.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the nozzle lance should
be cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble
grease such as petroleum jelly.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging the
nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire, a straightened paper clip
also works.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the impact
force of the water pressure exceeds the durability of the
surface. Bare wood can be penetrated; paint can be peeled
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers. These can be
purchased online at our website cservice
Hardware stores or home centers also have power washer
detergents for different cleaning projects. The cleaning
solution should be the consistency of water in order to
prevent clogging your detergent bottle and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The
cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced when applied
with low pressure and enough time is given to break down
dirt and grime. The combination of low pressure and chemical
action is very effective and can be better than scrubbing if
applied properly. ALWAYS spray detergent on a dry surface.
DO NOT pre-soak area. Wetting the surface first dilutes
the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability. DO NOT
allow detergent to dry on surface. On vertical surfaces being
cleaned, apply detergent to lower surfaces and work your
way up to prevent detergent from causing streaks in the dirt
and grime. Rinse detergent by pressure washing from bottom
up for same reason.

controlling:
1. The angle of the surface being cleaned.
2. The distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned.

Subsequent power washing after brushing should successfully
complete your cleaning job.
Remove it by dragging a thumb over the screen with enough
pressure to pull the screen and washer out. Rinse it with clean
water and then place it back in the adapter.
