OPERATION
STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER
NOTICE! Do not allow the water supply pressure to exceed 60 PSI.
Excessive pressure can damage the tool.
When the motor is running, do not allow the pressure washer to remain
idle for more than five minutes. If allowed to remain idle, the water in the
unit will heat up, possibly causing damage to the pressure washer.
1. Lift the pressure washer so it is standing on end while in use.
2. Plug the pressure water into a power outlet.
2.1 The pressure washer power cord plug has a built-in Ground-Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
3. Adjust the nozzle aperture (see Adjusting the Nozzle).
4. Turn the pressure washer on by twisting the dial to the ON position (Fig. 8).
5. Point the wand in a direction to eliminate the possibility of spraying a
bystander, animal or plant.
6. Unlock and hold down the trigger to start the stream. Be aware that
when it is first starts, the gun will kick.
7. Allow the water to flow until the bubbles in the
stream disappears. This should take no more
than 2 minutes.
8. Turn the power off and press the trigger to
remove the built-up pressure in the tool. Lock
the trigger when pressure is relieved.
9. The pressure washer is ready for use.
USING THE PRESSURE WASHER
Turn the power off if you are pausing longer than five minutes between
sprayings.
1. Unlock and hold down the trigger to start the stream. Be aware that
when it is first starts, the gun will kick.
2. Start with a low-pressure nozzle and gradually use higher pressures as
needed. Spray from approximately 12 in. distance.
V1.0 1.59 GPM @ 1,885 PSI Electric Pressure Washer 8976979
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 13
2.1 Test spray the surface at an edge to make sure that the stream is
not too strong.
2.2 If the stream damages the surface, move farther away to reduce
the applied pressure.
2.3 If the stream is still too strong, lock the trigger in the safety
position and change to a lower pressure nozzle.
3. Hold the wand at about a 45° angle when cleaning; spraying the
surface directly could embed dirt into the surface (especially with the
high-pressure nozzles).
4. Clean vertical and sloped surfaces from the top down.
5. When cleaning horizontal surfaces, occasionally use the stream to
clear the area of excess water.
6. Hold the trigger down and move the wand back and forth slowly and
steadily to pressure wash the surface. Take special care when
spraying surfaces made of two different materials (brick and mortar,
for example), to avoid damaging the softer of the two materials
during pressure washing.
7. If the surface is streaked or uneven at the end of a job, switch to a
Nozzle that has a wider spray pattern to blend the affected area.
8. Switch the power to low when spraying with detergent. High power
can embed the detergent and make it difficult to remove.
8.1 Do not allow detergent to dry on the surface. Give it enough
time to react, then clean it off. Respray as necessary to keep the
surface wet.
8.2 Increase the power to remove the loosened dirt.
9. Once the task is complete, turn the power off and press the trigger to
remove the built-up pressure in the tool.
10. Lock the trigger when pressure is relieved.
11. Disconnect the power and water source.
12. Disassemble the pressure washer for storage once work is done.
ADJUSTING THE NOZZLE
The angle of spray and water pressure coming out of the nozzle may be
adjusted by rotating the front of the nozzle. This will vary the spray pattern from
approximately a 0° narrow high impact stream (by turning the nozzle fully to the
left) to a 60° wide fan spray (by turning the nozzle fully to the right).
8976979 1.59 GPM @ 1,885 PSI Electric Pressure Washer V1.0
14 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
A narrow stream has high impact force on the cleaning surface and results
in maximum deep cleaning in a concentrated area. However, this narrow
high impact spray must be used cautiously, as it may damage some
surfaces.
A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact of the water over a larger area,
resulting in excellent cleaning action with a reduced risk of surface damage.
Large surface areas can be cleaned more quickly using a wide fan pattern.
USING DETERGENT
IMPORTANT! Only use the Black (low pressure) Nozzle when spraying
detergents. The power of the other nozzles will propel mist back at the
operator and can embed detergent into the surface.
Only use detergent in low pressure mode.
1. Select a detergent/cleanser appropriate for the
intended application.
2. Prepare detergent solution as recommended by
the manufacturer.
3. Turn and remove the detergent bottle spray head
(Fig. 9).
4. Fill bottle with prepared detergent solution. A
small funnel may help with this task.
5. Reattach the spray head.
6. Remove the Extension Wand from the Spray Gun
(if connected).
7. Attach the Detergent Bottle to the Spray Gun by pressing the Bottle
spray head inside the Gun and then turning
the collar counter clockwise until spray
head locks inside the Gun. Tug on the
Bottle to make sure it is secured (Fig. 10).
8. Pull spray gun trigger and apply detergent
to a dry surface, starting at lower portion
of area to be washed and work upward,
using long, even, overlapping strokes.

RINSING
1. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you plan to spray.
2. Apply a spray to a small area, and then check the surface for damage.
If no damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning.
3. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down with same
overlapping strokes as you used for washing and applying detergent.
When you have completed use of the detergent injection system, continue
to run to flush clean water through the Detergent Bottle until spray head
is thoroughly cleaned.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient,
easier to control and will have fewer problems.
2. Inspect the tool components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or
worn components. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.
3. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool.
4. Maintain the tool’s labels and name plates. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for
replacements.
WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the tool. An
improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the user and/or others.
AFTER EACH USE
CHECK HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
WARNING! NEVER repair the high pressure hose. Repairs can fail and will
be weaker than the hose itself. A hose that fails while under pressure
can inflict a serious injury. Replace with a hose that has a maximum
pressure rating that exceeds the pressure washers maximum output.
The high-pressure hose can develop leaks due to wear, kinking or misuse and
abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using it. Check the hose for cuts,
leaks, abrasions or bulging spots. Also check the couplings to ensure they are
not loose. Replace the hose immediately if any of these conditions exist.
CHECK SPRAY GUN
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make sure it is secure.
Check that the trigger lock is in place to prevent accidental spraying.
Replace the spray gun immediately if the trigger lock is damaged or will
not remain in place.

16 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
CHECK SPRAY WAND AND PRESSURE NOZZLES
A pulsing sensation felt when squeezing the trigger indicates either the
spray wand or the pressure nozzle is partially clogged and is causing
pressure to build in the pump.
1. Shut off the engine and turn off the water supply. Then release the
pressure in the pump system by aiming the spray gun in a safe
direction and squeezing the tri g ger.
2. Remove the spray nozzle from end of spray gun wand.
3. Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material clogging or
restricting the spray nozzle.
4. Disconnect the spray gun wand and check for foreign material that
may clog the tube.
5. Remove additional debris by back flushing water through the spray
gun wand using a garden hose.
6. Reinstall spray nozzle into spray gun wand.
7. Reconnect spray gun wand to spray gun.
8. Make sure the garden hose is connected to the pump’s water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun and pump.
Turn on the water.
9. Test the pressure washer with each of the spray nozzles to ensure
they are all unclogged.
REPAIRING LEAKING CONNECTIONS
WARNING! Do not use thread-seal tape or liquid to prevent leaks in the
high pressure hose. This can cause a high pressure leak that can result in
a serious injury or injection injury.
1. Replace the o-rings of any connection that leaks.
2. Replace the connectors if the leaks continue.
CLEANING
Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean. A soft bristle brush can
loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc. A vacuum cleaner will remove loose dirt and
debris in difficult to reach places.
Examine the screen on the pump water inlet. Clean it if the screen is
clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
