3. Slide the cord holder into position (Fig. 3).
4. Slide the trigger gun holder into position (Fig. 4).
5. Slide the spray wand protector into position (Fig. 5).
6. To connect the spray wand with the trigger gun, press the wings of the spray wand into the slot of the trigger gun, then twist counterclockwise until the 2 parts are completely locked together (Fig. 6).
7. Connect the high-pressure hose to the trigger gun. Twist to secure the connection (Fig. 7).
8. Connect the other end of high-pressure hose to the water outlet on the washer and tighten securely (Fig. 8).
WARNING! 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.
9. Connect the garden hose adapter (female coupler) to the water inlet of the pressure washer, then thread your garden hose (male end) into the garden hose adapter (Fig. 9). The garden hose must have an internal diameter of at least 1/2 in. (13 mm) and must be reinforced.
The water supply must be at least equal to the washer delivery capacity.
NOTE: The machine is not suitable for connection to the potable water main.
10. Attach garden hose to water supply (Fig. 10).
WARNING! Do not connect to potable water system.
WARNING! If connection is made to a potable water system, the system shall be protected against backflow.
WARNING! The intake water temperature must not exceed 104ºF/40ºC. The water supply must not exceed
CAUTION! The washer must only be used with clean water; use of unfiltered water containing corrosive chemicals will damage the washer.
CAUTION! To prevent damage to the appliance, do not allow it to operate dry. Before starting the appliance, make sure that it has proper and stable supply of water
IMPORTANT! This pressure washer is equipped with a micro-switch sensitive to water flow. This Total Stop System (TSS) senses water flow in the pump. When the trigger is released, water stops flowing through the pump. The TSS then automatically turns the motor off to protect the pump from overheating, thus saving energy and prolonging pump life.
1. Position the washer as CLOSE as possible to the water supply.
2. The washer must be used on a secure and stable surface in a standing, upright position (Fig. 11).
3. Make sure the unit is switched off before plugging the unit into the power outlet.
4. Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency (Volt/Hz) correspond to those specified on the rating plate. If the power supply is correct, you may now plug the pressure washer into the power outlet (Fig. 12).
NOTE: The GFCI may need to be reset when first plugged into the electric outlet. Press the "Reset" button until the power light indicator on the GFCI illuminates when plugged in.
5. Turn the water supply tap on completely.
6. Release the safety lock, then press the trigger for a few seconds until the water flow is steady. Operating the pressure washer in this manner will allow air to escape and discharge residual pressure in the hose (Figs. 13 – 14).
7. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON (I) position to start the pressure washer (Fig. 15).
8. When re-starting the motor, always keep the trigger pressed.
NOTE: The motor only runs when the trigger is operated and shuts off when the trigger is released.
Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.
The nozzle patterns are 40˚ (for gentle cleaning), 15˚ (for tough jobs), 0˚ (for spot cleaning or hard-to-reach areas), and the turbo nozzle. The turbo nozzle is a zero-degree rotary nozzle that spins the spray in a circle so it has a wider cleaning swath.
CAUTION! NEVER change nozzles without locking the safety lock on the trigger handle.
WARNING! High-pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons, pets, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.
This electric pressure washer is equipped with four (4) Quick-Connect nozzles that easily snap onto the Quick-Connect collar of the spray wand (Fig. 16).
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning job is complete:
WARNING! Do not make changes to the nozzle while the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the pressure washer or injury to the user.
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.
WARNING! Use only detergents specifically designed for use with pressure washers, such as Sun Joe® HOUSE +
DECK WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe® SNOW FOAM AUTO WASH (SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe® HEAVY DUTY CLEANER (SPX-APC1G). DO NOT USE household detergents, acids, alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial grade solutions. These could damage the pressure washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
1. Gently pull the foam cannon bottle out of its storage position (Fig. 18)
2. Remove the cap. Fill the bottle or mix as recommended by detergent instructions (Fig. 19), and secure the cap back into place. Replace it back on the unit.
3. Disconnect the spray wand from the trigger gun by pressing it in firmly and twisting clockwise until the 2 wings of the spray wand can be removed from the slot (Fig. 20).
4. To connect the foam cannon with the trigger gun, press the wings of the foam cannon into the slot of the trigger gun, then twist counterclockwise until the 2 parts are completely locked (Fig. 21).
5. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate the unit. The liquid detergent will automatically mix with water and be discharged through the nozzle.
NOTE: The spray angle can be adjusted from 0° to 45° by rotating the foam cannon nozzle. The foam volume can be adjusted by rotating the adjustable cap, as indicated below (Fig. 22).
WARNING! Do not adjust the foam cannon while the trigger is squeezed. Failure to do so could result in damage.
CAUTION! Always test the detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
6. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry surface to be cleaned.
NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
7. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the surface. mCAUTION! Damage may occur to painted surfaces if the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.
8. When finished using the pressure washer, you must first drain and rinse the foam cannon bottle. Run the pressure washer until all of the soap is drained from the foam cannon bottle.
CAUTION! Failure to follow these cleaning instructions will cause the injection system to become clogged and inoperable.
IMPORTANT! NEVER USE:
These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the cleaning surface.
Sun Joe® feather bristle pressure washer utility brush safely cleans painted, topcoat, and delicate surfaces. Compatible with all Sun Joe® SPX series pressure washers.
1. If not already done, detach your spray wand from your trigger gun (Fig. 20).
2. Take the utility brush and align the two tabs with the inside of the trigger gun (Fig. 23).
3. Once aligned, push the utility brush into the trigger gun, twist counterclockwise to lock into place.
WARNING! Turn off the water supply and squeeze the trigger to depressurize the unit. Failure to do so could result in personal injury due to discharge of high-pressure water.
Taking a break
If you are taking a break of five minutes or more between cleaning tasks:
CAUTION! Always store your pressure washer in a location where the temperature will not fall below 32ºF (0ºC).
The pump in this machine is susceptible to permanent damage if it freezes. FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
CAUTION! The use of a pump protector is recommended to prevent cold weather damage during storage over the winter months.
If you must store your pressure washer in a location where the temperature falls below 32ºF (0ºC), you can minimize the chance of damage to your machine by utilizing the following procedure:
WARNING! Before reusing, completely flush the unit out with clear water. Anti-freeze products can damage paintwork, so you must ensure there is no anti-freeze left in the system before using it again.
CAUTION! Before working on the pressure washer, disconnect the plug from the power supply socket.
Clean the Adapter Filter and the Nozzle
1. To ensure good performance, check and clean the adapter filter (Fig. 24). Remove the filter and rinse with warm water to prevent any foreign matter from clogging the pump (Fig. 25).
2. Clean the nozzle with the needle clean-out tool provided (Fig. 26). Remove the nozzle from the spray wand; remove any dirt from the nozzle hole and rinse.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being.
