Operation

mIMPORTANT! This pressure washer is equipped with

a micro-switch sensitive to water ow. This Total Stop System

(TSS) senses water ow in the pump. When the trigger is

released, water stops owing through the pump. The TSS then

automatically turns the motor o 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. 15).

3. Turn the water supply tap on completely.

4. Unlock the safety lock, then press the trigger for a few

seconds until the water ow is steady. Operating the

pressure washer in this manner will allow air to escape

and discharge residual pressure in the hose (Fig. 16).

5. Keeping the trigger pressed, turn the switch to the ON (I)

position to start the pressure washer.

6. When re-starting the motor, always keep the trigger

pressed.

NOTE: The motor only runs when the trigger is depressed

and shuts o when the trigger is released.

The powerful oscillating pinpoint jet of water cleans faster than

standard nozzles to destroy dirt, grease, and grime on contact.

Working with Detergents

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 eective dirt removal.

mWARNING! Use only detergents specically 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, ammable 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. 19).

mCAUTION! 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 rst 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 nished using the pressure washer, you must rst

drain and rinse the foam cannon bottle. Run the pressure

washer until all of the soap is drained from the foam

cannon bottle.

mCAUTION! Failure to follow these cleaning instructions

will cause the injection system to become clogged and

inoperable.

mIMPORTANT! NEVER USE:

• Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals

• Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners,

gasoline, oils)

• Tri-sodium phosphate products

• Ammonia products

• Acid-based products

These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage

the cleaning surface.

WARRANTY.

• Store the pressure washer indoors in a dry, covered area

where it is not subject to adverse weather conditions.

• It is important to store this product in a frost-free area.

• Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the

detergent bottle (if using) before storing.

over the winter months.

Winterizing + long-term storage

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:

• Disconnect all water connections.

• Turn on the machine for a few seconds until the remaining

water in the pump exits. Turn o immediately.

• Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.

• Store the machine and accessories in a room that does

not reach freezing temperatures.

• Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat that

may dry out the pump seals.

• Operate the pressure washer with non-corrosive/non-toxic

anti-freeze, a pump saver, or a pump protector before

storing for the winter.

mWARNING! Before reusing, completely ush 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.

Maintenance

mCAUTION! Before working on the pressure washer,

disconnect the plug from the power supply socket.

1. To ensure good performance, check and clean the water

inlet lter (Fig. 25). Remove the pre-lter and water inlet

lter and rinse with warm water to prevent any foreign

matter from clogging the pump (Figs. 26 – 27).
