and are extra slippery when using a detergent or
cleaner.
11. NEVER operate the power washer in bare feet,
sandals, or open-toed shoes.
12. 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.
13. Keep fingers, hands, feet and any part of your body
clear of the stream of high pressure water. The
powerful spray can cause blindness or blast holes in
the skin. It can break a window if you are too close
when you pull the trigger on the spray gun.
14. ALWAYS wear eye protection to prevent injury to
eyes when operating the power washer.
DANGER
Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or
loss of life.
WARNING

life.
CAUTION
15. To avoid mishaps or injury, ALWAYS use the trigger
safety lock when not using the power washer even if
only stopping briefly.
Potential hazard that may result in moderate injury
or damage to equipment.
16. 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.
Note: The word “Note” is used to inform the reader of
something the operator needs to know about the tool.
WARNING
17. Point the spray gun in a safe direction when
beginning a power washer session.
18. Warning- NEVER spray directly at a person, animal,
electrical device or the unit itself.
To reduce the risk of injury, the user must read
and understand the instructions before using
this product.
1. Warning – When using this product, basic
precautions should always be followed, including the
following.
2. Read all the instructions before using the product.
3. Know how to stop the product and bleed pressures
quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
4. Keep operating area clear of persons.
5. Do not overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep
good footing and balance at all times.
19. 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 assembly) until you get used to the
“kickback” from the spray gun.
20. When you turn the power switch off, water pressure
may remain in the system. To discharge the
pressure, point the spray gun in a safe direction and
pull the trigger.
6. Follow the maintenance instructions as specified in
the manual.
21. NEVER spray flammable liquids.
22. NEVER use the power washer in areas that contain
combustible dust, liquids or vapors.

all of the controls. Be sure you know how to quickly
bleed off the pressure from all parts of your power
washer and how to turn off the power washer.
8. This power washer conforms to CSA and other safety
and consumer standards. DO NOT modify or rebuild
any part of your power washer.
23. Avoid contact of the pressure hose with sharp
objects and examine the hose regularly. Replace
if damaged. Due to the high pressure involved, it
cannot be repaired if cut or damaged.
24. Only use detergent specifically formulated for power
washers and follow instructions on the detergent’s
label. Dish or laundry soap is too thick and will
clog the nozzle of your detergent bottle.
4
25. Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to
detergent.

32. NEVER permanently engage the trigger mechanism
on the spray gun.
CAUTION
33. NEVER operate the power washer unless all
components are properly and securely connected.
34. 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.
35. NEVER use lances or other parts that are not
compatible for this specific AR Blue Clean unit.
36. NEVER use an extension power cord since it defeats
the effectiveness of the GFCI and increases the
chance of electrocuting the operator.
Store the power washer indoors to prevent the
water in the unit from expanding under freezing
conditions. When the water freezes and expands,
your power washer will be damaged and become
inoperable. Or, if storing outdoors, it is
recommended you use pump saver (not included)
to protect pumps.
27. NEVER use hot water with your power washer. It will
overheat and damage the high pressure pump.
28. NEVER leave the power washer unattended while it
is powered “ON”.
37. NEVER spray any electrical outlet with your power
washer.
29. ALWAYS turn the water supply on before turning the
power washer power to on. Running the pump dry
will cause damage to the internal components.
38. Inspect the power cord before using. DO NOT use it
if it is damaged.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

• Make sure the power switch is off.
• Unwind the power cord completely and plug
into a grounded 120 volt outlet.
• Turn on water supply at the faucet to completely
open.
• Squeezing and releasing the trigger rapidly will cause
the auto start feature to miss an on/off cycle that
may prevent it from turning on properly. Use slow,
deliberate trigger pulls to avoid this.
• Turn the safety lock button on the spray gun to
unlocked. While pointing the spray gun in a safe
direction, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun until
there is a steady stream of water, letting the water
and air out of the hose.
lock
K
• Push the power button to turn the unit on (green

or cleaner with water ratio according to instructions
on the container. Close detergent tank when done
filling.
• When using the foam cannon, fill it with a properly
formulated detergent or cleaner with water ratio
according to instructions on the container.
• The power washer will pull a ratio of water to
detergent of 10:1 or 10 parts water to 1 part
detergent. The detergent concentration can be
adjusted by turning the detergent knob on the top of
the machine. Turn it left for more concentration or
turn it right for less concentration.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 off, etc. You can vary
the force of your power washer by controlling:
1. The angle of the surface being cleaned.
2. The distance of the nozzle from the surface being
cleaned.
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water on
soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
1
• Use the 25˚ angle quick connect nozzle when
cleaning windows. Be sure to place the nozzle
approximately 4 to 5 ft. away from the window with
the nozzle at 45° angle. Squeeze the trigger and vary
the spray pattern and angle until optimum cleaning
efficiency is achieved.
3
Using Power Cord
• Remove the power cord from the unit by swiveling the
cord hook to the right or left. The power cord then can
be slid off to either side of the power washer unit.
• Swivel cord hook back to center when ready to wrap
the cord back into place for storage.
2
Removing Power Washer Unit from Frame for
Handheld Operation
• Locate latches on the lower side of frame. Unlock
latches by pulling downward on the latches. Place a
foot on the pad at the front of the lower frame and
then lift the power washer unit off the frame.
Operation Tips
• 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.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging
the nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire, a
straightened paper clip also works.
13
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers.
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.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary
to reapply the detergent and use a bristled brush to
scrub the stain. Power washing after brushing should
successfully clear the stain.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Garden Hose Adapter
Cleaning Nozzles
• The screen inside the adapter should be cleaned
periodically. 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.
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause
significant reduction of water pressure coming out
of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while
spraying.
• Turn off the unit.
• Turn off the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by
squeezing the trigger 2 - 3 times, then lock the spray
gun by turning the dial to lock (“3” and “9” position).
• Remove the nozzle from the spray gun.
• Using the nozzle cleaner wire provided (or an unfolded
paper clip), insert the wire into the nozzle hole and
move back and forth until debris is dislodged.
• Back flush water through the nozzles using garden
hose and highest pressure available (either standard
water nozzle or use your thumb over the nozzle to
create water pressure for back flush).
14
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Storage
• When your pressure washer session has been
completed, turn off the power switch. Unplug the
power cord from the outlet. Turn off the water supply.
Pull the trigger on the spray gun 2-3 seconds to drain
out the excess water and to release any remaining
water pressure. Do not allow the power washer to run
with no water flowing through it.
properly. Flush the tank and nozzle head with clear
water to prevent clogging.
• Wind the power cord around the L-shaped hooks
located on the top of the machine.
• The pressure hose is stored on the hose hook located
on the back of the handle.
• Remove high pressure hose from spray gun and
unscrew the other end of the high pressure hose from
the power washer.
• Remove lance from the gun. Place the gun in the
holster on the side.
• Make sure to discard any remaining detergent from
the tank. Residual chemical will stick to the container
which could become contaminated, and can cause
the detergent injector to clog and not function
• DO NOT store the power washer where it is
exposed to freezing temperatures unless you use
an antifreeze designed for pumps. Store the power
washer indoors to prevent the water in the unit from
expanding under freezing conditions. When the
water freezes and expands, your power washer will
be damaged and become inoperable. Or, if storing
outdoors, it is recommended you use pump saver (not
included) to protect pumps.
PUMPSAVER
Pump Saver is a product that protects and prolongs
the life of the pump. This will keep the internal parts
of the pump lubricated and protected from freezing
while being stored in ALL climates. It also assists with
protection from internal corrosion. The AR Blue Clean
part #is: PW64511(16oz. bottle). Order online at
4) Squeeze bottle to help it into the pump.
5) Turn power off when pump saver exits the machine’s
water outlet.
Note: Instructions on Pump Saver Bottle are generic and
not model specific.
Pump Saver Instructions
Turn unit off and disconnect the hose and gun before
adding pump saver. Unscrew threaded top from bottle
to remove seal and reattach threaded top to bottle.
Remove black cap from bottle.
1
1) Place top of pump saver bottle onto the garden hose
adapter previously installed on the pressure washer
inlet.
2) Secure pump saver bottle by turning in a clockwise
direction.
3) Turn the power on.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have any questions regarding the product, please call customer service at 1-866-235-5112
PROBLEM
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Unit will not turn on.
1. The GFCI module on the end of the power cord must be plugged directly into an outlet.
2. Do not use an extension cord.
3. With the GFCI connected make sure the power switch is turned on.
Note: When power switch is turned on, the power washer will turn on by itself for 1-2
seconds and shut off. This is normal.
1. Power should NOT be turned on until water comes through the spray gun. Doing so will
damage the motor.
2. Check the water source.
The unit is running
but there is no water
flow.
3. Eject the nozzle from the lance to determine if clog is coming from the nozzle. (If nozzle
is clogged, see nozzle cleaning instructions under “Cleaning nozzles”.)
4. Take off the lance and just spray out of the spray gun. This will indicate if the problem is
with the lance.
5. Check garden hose adapter for loose connection and the filter for debris.
1. Make sure there is an o-ring at the end of the metal tip of the high pressure hose.
If no o-ring is present, the connection between the hose and spray gun will leak. A
Replacement O-Ring Kit is included in your parts. If you require additional O-rings,
