OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operation Tips
• 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.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging
the lance 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

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers. These
can be purchased online at our website
www.stanleypressurewashers.com.
or home centers also have power washer detergents
for different cleaning projects. The cleaning solution
should be the consistency of water in order to
prevent clogging your detergent bottle and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure.
The cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced
when applied with
low pressure and enough time is given to break down
dirt and grime. The combination of low pressure and
chemical action is very effective and can be better than
scrubbing if applied properly.
on a dry surface.
DO NOT
surface first dilutes
the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
allow detergent to dry on surface. On vertical surfaces
being cleaned, apply detergent to lower surfaces and
work your way up to prevent detergent from causing
streaks in the dirt and grime. Rinse detergent by
pressure washing from bottom up for same reason.
•If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to
reapply the detergent and use a bristled brush to scrub
the stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing
should successfully complete your cleaning job.

• Use the 25˚ angle quick connect nozzle when
cleaning windows. Be sure to place the nozzle
approximately four to five feet away from the
window with the nozzle at forty five degree angle.
Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray pattern
and angle until optimum cleaning efficiency is
achieved.
Cleaning Garden Hose Adapter
• The screens inside the garden hose adapter should
be cleaned periodically. Rinse it with clean water,
and then place it back in the adapter.
Cleaning Nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause
significant reduction of water pressure coming
out of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate
while spraying.
• Turn off the unit.
• Turn off the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by
squeezing the trigger 2-3 times, and then lock the
spray gun.
