IMPORTANT BASICS REGARDING ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHERS  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
All connections must be tight. If there is water leaking out, air can also leak in. Make  
sure the water supply is fully on.  
Check the inlet strainer for any blockage, including packaging debris. Most washers  
are shipped with a plastic plug in the inlet.  
The washer will not pressurize if the nozzle is not completely assembled. It will not  
work properly with only part of the wand installed.  
It may take a few warm-up tries to get the pump running correctly. Do not give up if the  
washer does not start immediately.  
Minerals in the water can harden inside the workings. Flush the unit with automotive  
antifreeze prior to long-term storage.  
The Foaming Lance creates foam. There is much less pressure when using the  
Foaming Lance.  
Moving and Storage  
This unit is equipped with wheels, so it can be easily moved.  
Store the Pressure Washer indoors. If you are keeping the machine in an environ-  
ment where there is danger of ice or frost forming on the unit, or if you do not use  
the product for more than 3 months, we suggest you add an antifreeze solution  
(similar to that used in automobiles) before putting it away. When you start the  
machine up again, slight leakage can occur.This leakage will disappear once the  
machine has been in operation for a few hours.  
Be careful not to damage the Electric Cable. If the Cable does become damaged,  
replace it with an identical replacement Cable. Only professionally qualified  
personnel may be allowed to replace the Electric Cable.  
Maintenance  
Your Pressure Washer is supplied with a closed lubrication system, so you do not  
need to add oil. Check periodically for any deposits that might potentially clog the  
system.
