When you have finished using your
pressure washer, follow these steps for
safe storage:
1. Turn the pressure washer to the
"Off" position.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Before disconnecting the high
pressure hose connection, point the
trigger gun in a safe direction away
from you and discharge the high
pressure water. Disconnect the high
pressure hose from the pressure
washer and trigger gun.
4. Disconnect garden hose from
pressure washer.
5. Remove excess water from the
pump by tipping the unit on both
sides to drain any remaining water
from the water intake and outlet
fittings.
6. Drain detergent applicator bottle and
flush with clean water.
7. Wipe away any remaining water on
all parts and fittings.

This unit is equipped with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into
the plug. This device provides additional
protection from the risk of electrical
shock. When connecting the GFCI to the
electrical outlet, the indicator should
appear red. If the indicator is not red,
depress the RESET button on the GFCI
until the indicator appears red.
Cleaning Tips
Wood Decks: Rinse deck and
surrounding area with fresh water. If
using detergent, fill the detergent
applicator bottle and apply to the area
being cleaned. For optimal results,
reduce your work area to small sections
and clean each section one at a time.
Allow the detergent to rest on the surface
for a few minutes and then rinse at high
pressure. Do not let the detergent dry on
the deck. Always clean from left to right
and top to bottom for best results. Rinse
at high pressure using the fan jet keeping
the tip of the spray nozzle 8-12 inches
from the surface. Caution: For soft
woods, increase the distance from the
cleaning surface.
Cars, Boats, & Motorcycles: Wet down
area to be cleaned before applying
detergent with clean water. Fill the
detergent applicator bottle and apply to
the area being cleaned. To achieve best
results, clean one side at a time. Allow
the detergent to rest on the surface for a
few minutes but do not let it dry. Rinse at
high pressure using the fan jet in a
sweeping motion keeping the tip of the
spray nozzle at least 8-10 inches away
from the surface. Maintain a further
distance when using a direct spray. Wipe
surface for a polished finish.
Winterizing & Long Term Storage
1. Disconnect all water connections.
2. Turn the pressure washer on for a
