UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY
After unpacking the ECHO POWER WASHER, lay out parts and accessories.
Familiarize yourself with the parts in the package by comparing them to those
listed on the “PACKAGE CONTENTS” page.
The ECHO POWER WASHER requires some minor assembly. You’ll need a
Phillips screwdriver install the high pressure hose hook and the nozzle tray.
Some parts may or may not be already assembled.
High pressure hose is stored on the hose reel. With the front of the power
washer facing towards you, insert the un-threaded end of the high pressure
hose into the square hole on the inner reel and begin turning the handle away
from you. When nished winding, push the handle in to lock it in place.
The hose reel is only for storing the high pressure hose. The hose must be
completely removed from the hose reel each time you use the power washer.
Slide the spray gun holder onto the left side of the washer when facing it. This
does not require any screws. (Fig. 1)
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Slip tab into slot and screw the nozzle tray on the bottom portion of the unit. (Fig.
2) When placing the gun with the lance attached the nozzle will rest in this tray.
Easily remove the power cord from side of unit by swiveling the bottom cord
hook to the right or left until it faces up. The power cord then can be easily slid
o of the side of the power washer unit. (Fig. 3)
Swivel cord hook back down when ready to wrap the cord back into place for
storage.

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY
HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
Screw the high pressure hose (clockwise) on the left of the unit at the bottom
(Fig. 4). Pull back the collar and insert o-ring post into the water outlet far
enough so the collar can thread onto the outlet threads until hand tight. Do not
use pliers or vice grips to tighten. If it takes fewer than six or so turns you have
not properly tightened the high pressure hose tting. It is easier to position the
power washer in front of you so to ensure that the threads are started correctly.
Failure to properly tighten the high pressure hose will result in the hose slipping
or popping o immediately upon turning the unit on. Do not worry about damage
if this occurs - just reinstall and take extra care at screwing on the high pressure
hose tting.
Connect the other end of the high pressure hose to the spray gun by inserting
the brass metal tip of the high pressure hose into the tting just ahead of the
trigger guard. It will lock into the spray gun with a “click” (Fig. 5). Conrm the
hose is locked into the spray gun by pulling slightly on the hose. The hose is now
securely attached to the spray gun.
To release the hose from the spray gun, press the button on the underside of the
gun toward the trigger guard. The hose will slide out from the connection (Fig. 6).

HOW TO CLEAN
Cleaning nozzles
A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause signicant reduction of water
pressure coming out of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while
spraying.
Turn o the unit
Turn o 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 by pushing the lock button from left to right.
The screen inside the clear adapter should be cleaned periodically. Insert a pen
or pencil in small hole at the end of the adapter. The screen lter will slide out
(Fig. 19). Rinse it with clean water, and then place it back in the adapter.
Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an unfolded paper clip), insert the wire
into the nozzle hole and move back and forth until debris is dislodged (Fig. 20).
Back ush water through the nozzles using garden hose and highest pressure
available (either standard water nozzle or use your thumb over the nozzle to
create water pressure for back ush).
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 o the power washer if not being used after ve
minutes.
The o-rings on the bayonet end of the adjustable lance should be cleaned
regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly.
Keep the nozzle cleaning wire, which is taped to this manual, for use in
unclogging the lance nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire an unbent paper clip
works ne.
NOTICE: Always make sure the water inlet line (garden hose) is not kinked
or restricted from providing sucient water ow. Insucient water ow may
damage the pressure washer pump.
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 o, etc.
OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Fig. 19 Fig. 20
19
HOW TO CLEAN
You can vary the force of your power washer by controlling:
The angle of the surface being cleaned
The distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned
- Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the turbo lance on soft
surfaces susceptible to damage.
- Use the high/low nozzle lance when cleaning windows. Be sure to adjust the
nozzle to low spray and place the nozzle approximately four to ve feet away
from the window with the nozzle at forty ve degree angle. Squeeze the
trigger and vary the spray pattern and angle until optimum cleaning eciency
is achieved (Fig. 21).
DETERGENT INJECTOR/STORAGE
Typically, there are dierent power washer detergents for specic applications,
such as auto, motorcycle, boat and universal. Hardware stores or home centers
also have power washer detergents for dierent cleaning projects. The cleaning
solution should be the consistency of water in order to prevent clogging your
detergent tank and nozzle.
This system applies detergent under low pressure. The cleaning power of the
detergents is enhanced when applied with low pressure; and time is allowed to
break down the dirt and grime. The combination of low pressure and chemical
action is very eective and can be better than scrubbing if applied properly.
Always spray detergent on a dry surface, do not pre-soak area. Wetting the
surface rst dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability. Do not 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.

STORAGE
DO NOT store the power washer where it is exposed to freezing
temperatures unless you use a commercially available pump protector to
treat the pump. It is recommended that you use a pump protector to treat
the pump for storing in freezing temperatures. Freezing will damage the
pump unless a pump protector is added to the power washer.
Remove lance from the gun and place in the accessory holder. Place the gun in
the accessory holder one the side. Lances are placed into any of the slots in the
back of the unit. Make sure to discard any remaining detergent from the bottle.
Flush the bottle and nozzle head with fresh water to prevent clogging.
When your pressure washing session has been completed, turn o the power
switch located on the front of the power washer. Unplug the power cord from
the outlet. Turn o the water supply. Pull the trigger on the spray gun 2-3 times
to drain out the excess water and to release any remaining water pressure.
Disconnect the garden hose adapter from the water inlet. Do not allow the power
washer to run with no water owing through it.
Remove detergent tank and clean completely. Residual chemical will stick to
the container and can cause the detergent injector to clock and not function
properly.
Remove high pressure hose from spray gun and unscrew the other end of the
high pressure hose from the power washer.
