equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is

an increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.

4. Do not expose the tool to rain, snow, frost or any other damp or

wet conditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

POWER CORD SAFETY

1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever

possible. Use extension cords or surge protectors only when the

tool's power cord cannot reach a power supply from the work area.

a. When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord

marked W-A or W. These cords are rated for outdoor use and

reduce the risk of electric shock.

2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed, damaged or

poorly spliced, as an electric shock may occur, resulting in

personal injury or property damage.

3. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm

while operating the tool.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

ATTACH THE WAND AND GUN

1. Screw the wand onto the spray gun. Make sure the connection is

tight.

8977035 2,000 PSI ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER V1.0

Assistance available at www.princessauto.com or 1-800-665-8685 Page 8

2. Insert the spray hose’s inlet coupler into the spray gun handle and

turn clockwise until it is hand tight.

3. Attach the spray hose’s other end onto the pump’s high pressure

outlet and secure until hand-tight.

4. Screw the garden hose onto the water inlet pipe.

5. Attach the other end to the water spigot.

USING DETERGENT

IMPORTANT! Only use the Black (Soap) Nozzle when

spraying detergents. The power of the other nozzles will

propel mist back at the operator and can embed detergent

into the surface.

1. Read the detergent’s directions. Only use detergents specified for

use with pressure washers.

2. Prepare detergent solution as recommended by the manufacturer.

3. Remove the detergent tank's cap.

4. Fill the tank with the prepared detergent. Use a funnel if necessary.

5. Replace the cap on the tank.

6. Follow instructions to start the pressure washer.

OPERATIONS

Choose the nozzle aperature that best meets the needs of the job. Only

use the on surfaces capable of withstanding the force of the spray.

PRESSURE NOZZLE SELECTION

The pressure washer has two spray nozzles (see Specifications). Other

spray nozzles may be purchased separately.

Each nozzle is color coded and delivers a specific spray arc between

0° and 65°. The narrower the degree arc, the higher the pressure at

the water spray’s point of contact with the item being cleaned. Distance

from the item that is being sprayed will also factor into the pressure

level at the point of contact.

The table identifies the colour, arc and an amplep The purpose

example is only a suggestion as some items are made of multiple

V1.0 2,000 PSI ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER 8977035

Page 9 Assistance available at www.princessauto.com or 1-800-665-8685

materials and not all materials will withstand the force of the

pressurized spray. Choose the nozzle with the largest spray arc, if you

are unsure how much pressure to apply to an item without damaging it.

Switch to a nozzle with a narrower degree angle until you find the one

that achieves the results you want.

Colour Arc Purpose

Red 0° Narrow stream to clean and

remove embedded grit or

grime from concrete or brick

surfaces.

Yellow 15° Heavy duty cleaning of

concrete surfaces or

without use of chemicals.

Green 25° Clean wood surfaces

compacted dirt, paint, oil or

mildew. Also for use with

chemicals.

White 40° Clean delicate surfaces like

stucco or siding. Also patio

furniture or home siding.

Black

(Soap)

65° Wet surfaces or apply

chemicals/detergents. Does

not provide enough force to

clean by itself.

ATTACH THE WATER HOSE

1. Attach the hose to a water spigot. The water hose muse be 10 ft or

longer with no other connections that will restrict or divert the water

flow.

8977035 2,000 PSI ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER V1.0

STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER

WARNING! Press the red switch on the bottom of the spray

gun to prevent accidental activation. Aim the spray gun in a

safe direction and test the trigger to ensure the lock is

working.

NOTICE! DO NOT siphon standing water for the water

supply. Particulate matter can contaminate the pump. Use

only clean, cold water (less than 100°F / 37.7°C).

NOTICE! DO NOT run the pump without the water supply

connected and turned on. This may damage the pump

mechanism beyond repair.

When the motor is running, do not allow the pressure washer to remain

idle for more than two minutes. If allowed to remain idle, the water in

the unit will heat up, possibly causing damage to the pressure washer.

1. Turn on the water spigot.

2. Squeeze the trigger for one minute to purge air

from the system. Reset the trigger guard.

3. Turn the pressure washer on by twisting the dial

to the ON position.

USING THE PRESSURE

WASHER

1. Unlock and hold down the trigger to start the stream. Be aware

that when it is first started, the gun will kick.

2. Start with a low pressure nozzle and gradually use higher

pressures as needed.

a. Test spray the surface at an edge to make sure that the

stream is not too strong.

b. If the stream damages the surface, move farther away to

reduce the applied pressure.

Fig. 1

V1.0 2,000 PSI ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER 8977035

c. 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). Spray at distance of about three to five

feet.

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), so as to not damage the softer of the two

materials during pressure washing.

STOPPING THE PRESSURE WASHER

NOTICE! Always turn off the power before stopping the

water supply. Running the pressure washer without water

can damage the pump.

1. Once the task is complete, turn the power off and press the trigger

to remove the built-up pressure in the tool.

2. Lock the trigger when pressure is relieved.

3. Press the reset button on the GFCI plug

4. Disconnect the power and water source.

5. Disassemble the pressure washer for storage once work is done.

6. Tip the pressure washer onto it's side to remove water from the

pump

CARE & MAINTENANCE

1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient,

easier to control and will have fewer problems.

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 washer’s 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.

CHECK SPRAY WAND AND

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.

V1.0 2,000 PSI ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER 8977035

Page 13 Assistance available at www.princessauto.com or 1-800-665-8685

1. Shut off the motor 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 trigger.

2. Use the cleaning pin or a small paper clip to free any foreign

material clogging or restricting the spray nozzle.

3. Back flush the nozzle to remove the debris.

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. Reconnect spray wand to the spray gun.

7. 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.

8. Start the motor following instructions Starting Your Pressure

Washer

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.
