Unpacking Your Pressure Washer
This high pressure washer is suitable for
non-professional use. The working
temperature must range between 40°F
and 120°F. The machine is supplied with
a trigger gun, equipped with a trigger
handle to offer a comfortable working
position.
The high pressure washer is suitable for
washing with cold water only. The water
that you use for the pressure washer
must not be dirty, sandy or contain any
corrosive chemical products.
The pressure washer may be used to
wash shutters, doors, tiles, cars, decks,
campers, etc., where high water pressure
is necessary to remove dirt.
With the soap dispenser, the pressure
washer can be used to apply a thick
coating of aerated detergent to the areas
being cleaned .
When using the pressure washer we
recommend the use of personal safety
items to reduce the risk of accidental
injury.
After you open the package, check to
make sure that all the parts are in the box
as per parts that are illustrated on page 3

may be supplied unassembled; in this
case follow the assembly instructions in
this manual. If you have any questions,

Using Brush With the Trigger Gun
The brush is used with the trigger gun.
Push the brush onto the trigger gun
nozzle and turn clockwise to lock as
you would for the lance. (Fig. 15) The
brush may be used for washing cars,
boats, windows and other similar items.
The brush operates at open orifice

water.

Using the Adjustable Lance
The angle of the water on the adjustable
lance may be adjusted between 0° and
60° by turning the nozzle adjuster
counter-clockwise for a wider angle or
clockwise for a narrower angle. (Fig. 13 &
Fig. 14) Always make sure that the
"On/Off' switch is in the "Off" position
before changing the angle of the water
jet. It is also recommended that the
trigger gun safety lock be engaged as
well. The adjustable lance allows you to
use any variety of spray pattern from a
full fan spray to a direct stream spray.
When using the pressure washer to clean
wood decks, siding, vehicles, etc., always
start using the fan spray and begin
spraying from a minimum 36" away to
avoid damaging the surface of the
material that you are cleaning. Always
clear the area that you will be cleaning; of
people, pets and objects.
