• 

NEVER allow the unit to run 
with the trigger release (off) 
for more than one (1) minute.  
Resulting heat buildup will 
damage pump.

• 

Pressure washer is not meant 
to pump hot water.  NEVER 
connect it to a hot water supply 
as it will significantly reduce the 
life of the pump.

• 

NEVER store the pressure 
washer outdoors or where it 
could freeze.  The pump will be 
seriously damaged.

• 

Release trigger when changing 
from high to low pressure 
modes.  Failure to do so could 
result in damage.

Keep hose away 
from sharp 

objects.  Bursting hoses may cause 
injury.  Examine hoses regularly 
and replace if damaged.  Do not 
attempt to mend a damaged hose.

1.  Attach swivel adapter to pump 

water inlet, if not already 
attached.  Notice the swivel 
adapter is marked with the 
words pump and hose.  Make 
sure to connect pump side of 
the adapter to the pump water 
inlet to prevent damage to the 
threads.

2.  Attach garden hose to swivel 

adapter side marked hose.

3.  The spray gun should be locked 

into the “OFF” position by 
locating the safety trigger 
lock just above the trigger of 
the gun.  Activate the lock by 
holding the gun and push the 
lock from left to right.  Squeeze 
trigger to make sure the trigger 
does not move.  The safety 
trigger lock should be locked at 
all times when pressure washer 
is not in use.

grounded 120V outlet and 
press the reset button as shown
