why don’t I have any water pressure?
• Is the water hose attached to the pressure washer?
• Is the water turned on?
• Check for any kinks, leaks, or blockage in the hoses, fittings, or the nozzle.
• Is the quick connect tip in place? (See Page 5 and 6).
• Is the inlet filter screen free of debris? Check and remove debris if needed.
how do I get high pressure?
• Use any color tip except black. The black tip is only used for low pressure detergent application.
how do I get the soap suction to work?
1 . Connect the clear plastic chemical suction tube to the plastic hose barb on pump, insert the other end into your
detergent .
2 . Install the black spray tip to apply low pressure detergent .
why doesn’t the pressure washer apply detergents with high pressure?
Detergents “bounce” off cleaning surfaces as fast as they are applied . The pressure washer’s features allow for a detergent
to be drawn while in low pressure mode only . By applying detergent at low pressure, the effect of “bouncing” is reduced .
Also, detergents are only effective when time is allowed for them to work on the surface of whatever is being cleaned . After
applying the detergent, wait 1-3 minutes while it works, and then proceed to rinse the surface with high pressure .
what maintenance do I need to perform on my pressure washer?
1 . After turning off the pressure washer and the water, depressurize the hose by triggering the gun .
2 . Remove the garden hose and high pressure hose from the pump .
3 . Pull the start rope slowly five times to purge water from the pump . This will help protect the pump from damage .
4 . Do not store your pressure washer in an area where the temperature will drop below 32° F .
5 . Follow proper storage and winterizing instructions found on pages 8 and 9 .
