OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Attach QC Foam Canon (stored in rear of pressure
washer) into end of lance by pressing cannon into
place. It will make a "click" sound when firmly in
place.
Note: Always lock spray gun when changing the foam
cannon to ensure it does not eject with force.
• When using the foam cannon, fill it with a properly
formulated detergent or cleaner with water ratio
according to instructions on the container.
• DO NOT use thick gel-like detergents as they will
clog the power washer and can cause damage.
• 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 cannon. Turn it left for more concentration or
turn it right for less concentration.

Operation Tips
• Note: Test the GFCI (For US unit only) before each
use:
1. Plug GFCI into power outlet. Indicator should
turn green to show that cord has power.
2. Press test button, green indicator should turn
off to verify that GFCI cut off power to the cord.
3. Press reset button – green indicator should
turn on to show that cord has power again.
4. When GFCI is working properly, green
indicator will turn on when power is applied.
If green indicator turns off, it has detected
electric leakage and the GFCI cut off power to
theappliance.
• 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.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the nozzle lance
should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with
non-water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging
the nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire, a
straightened paper clip also works.
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.
