How to Stop Your Electric Pressure Washer

The electric pressure washer motor runs only when the
trigger is engaged. To stop the electric pressure washer and
turn off the motor:
1. Release spray gun trigger.
2. Press the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (O) position.
NOTICE Releasing the trigger will shut off the motor but
does not shut off electrical power to the unit.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction and squeeze
spray gun trigger to relieve built up pressure in the unit.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces could cut through skin and
its underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury
and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor is
stopped and water is disconnected, which could result in
serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, squeeze
spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every time
you turn off pressure washer.
5. Disconnect GFCI plug from outlet and coil power cord.
6. Wrap high pressure hose on hose reel.
7. Flush detergent bottle (if used) by removing it from the
foam lance and pouring out all remaining solution.
8. Rinse detergent bottle out with fresh clean water and
reinstall onto foam lance.
9. Coil and store power cord, spray gun and accessories on
the accessory tray.
How to Use the Wands
You should now be familiar with how to START and STOP
your electric pressure washer. If not, please refer to the
previous section to familiarize yourself with STARTING and
STOPPING the system before continuing.
There are two wands supplied with the pressure washer.
The turbo wand whirls a powerful pin-point jet of water
for intense cleaning. The adjustable fan jet wand allows
you to adjust the spray pattern for various high pressure
applications.
Usage Tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep nozzle from 8 to 24
inches away from cleaning surface.
• If you get nozzle too close, especially using a high
pressure setting, you may damage surface being
cleaned.
• Do Not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
