Getting Started

Automatic On/Off

The motor on this pressure washer does not run continuously. It only runs when the trigger of the spray gun

is squeezed. After following the start-up procedures in this manual, turn the pressure washer on and

squeeze the trigger for activation.

The pump on your pressure washer will often improve performance after a break-in period of several hours.

Bleeding the Gun

It is very important to bleed the gun before using the pressure washer. Squeeze the trigger to allow any air

that is trapped inside of the unit and hose to escape. Continue to squeeze the trigger until a steady stream of

water comes from the nozzle (this process may take several minutes).

Operating Instructions

This unit is to be connected t a cold-water source only. The motor runs only when the

trigger is squeezed. Using long extension leads can result in reduced power in some cases.

1. C

onnect the outlet hose to the washer and connect the spray gun to the outlet hose.

2. Connect the nozzle and nozzle extension.

3. Check that the gauze filter is clear of any blockage.

4. Connect the water supply hose.

5. Check that the hose has no kinks in it.

6. Turn on the water and check for leaks.

7. Depress the trigger to allow air to be expelled though the pump and hoses, then lock the trigger.

8. Connect the machine to the electrical supply and switch the machine ON.

9. Unlock the trigger and use the pressure washer.

Shut Down

1. Switch the machine OFF (place switch to the off position).

2. Unplug the unit from the power source.

3. Turn off the water supply.

4. Press the trigger of the gun to depressurise the system.

5. Disconnect the garden hose from the pressure washer.

6. Wipe all surfaces of the unit with a damp clean cloth.

7. Engage the gun safety lock.

Always switch the machine OFF before turning off the water supply. Serious damage could occur

to the motor if the unit is run without water.

Never disconnect the high-pressure discharge hose from the machine while the system is still

pressurised. To depressurise the unit, turn off the motor, turn off the water supply and squeeze the

trigger 2-3 times.

Nozzle Uses

The Electric Pressure Washer comes with five nozzle attachments for different uses. Please refer to the

image below and on the pressure washer itself to see which nozzle is applicable for your purpose.

Using Detergent

1. Add detergent to the container.

2. Connect detergent nozzle to trigger assembly.

3. Trigger gun to spray detergent.

Maintenance

Connections

The connections on the pressure washer hoses, gun and spray wand should be cleaned regularly and

lubricated with the manufacturer’s recommended grease to prevent leakage and damage to the O-rings.

Nozzle

Obstructions to the nozzle will cause the pump pressure to be too high. If the nozzle is obstructed, clean it

immediately.

A nozzle cleaner must only be used when the spray wand is disconnected from the gun or personal injury

could occur.

1. Turn off the pressure washer.

2. Separate the wand from the gun.

3. Clear the nozzle with a small rigid piece of wire such as a paper clip.

4. Flush the nozzle backwards with water.

5. Reconnect the wand to the gun.

JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA JET USA

RX550 Electric Pressure Washer

Restart the pressure washer and depress the trigger on the spray gun. If the nozzle is still partially blocked or

plugged, repeat above instructions 1-4.

If the previous procedure does not clear the nozzle, replace the nozzle.

Hose Care

•

To extend your hose life, you’ll want to drain the hose after use. Don’t rely on the nozzle to cut the water

when you are done. If you do, the water pressure builds up inside the hose and can burst it. The better

procedure for the hose upkeep is to turn off the water at the spigot and allow the hose to drain.

•

Another way to keep your hose in good shape for longer is to avoid dragging it by the spray trigger

assembly. This weakens the coupler connection and causes leaks.

•

Also, don’t just leave it in a pile when you are finished with it. Using the included hose reel prevents kinks

that create tears.

•

Finally, there is the issue of storing a hose over winter. If you live in a cold winter region, you’ll want to

bring the hose into the garage (or somewhere inside) to prevent freezing. Drain the entire hose first, then

coil it on a hose reel and carry it inside.

Storage

If you must store your pressure washer in a location where the temperature is below freezing, you can

minimise the chance of damage to your washer with the following instructions.

1. Stop the pressure washer and detach the supply hose and the high-pressure hose. Squeeze the trigger

of the discharge gun to drain all water from the wand and hose.

2. Restart the pressure washer and let it run briefly (about 5 seconds) until water no longer discharges from

the high pressure outlet.
