conducted by professional technical personnel.

The backflow prevention devices should be

appropriate to fluid categories and comply

with the requirement to avoid back siphonage

according to EN 60335-2-79: 2009.

To connect the garden hose to the pressure washer:

■ Uncoil the garden hose.

NOTE: There must be a minimum of 3 metres of

unrestricted garden hose between the pressure washer

intake and the garden tap.

■ With the garden tap turned completely off, attach

the end of the garden hose to the coupler on the

pressure washer water intake. Tighten by hand.

■ Water that has flown through backflow preventers is

considered to be non-potable.

OPERATION

Applications

This pressure washer can be used for the purposes listed

below:

■ Removing dirt and mould from decks, cement patios,

and walls.

■ Cleaning cars, boats, motorcycles, outdoor furniture

and barbeques.

ADDING DETERGENT TO THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 7

Use only detergents designed for pressure washers;

household detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches,

solvents, flammable material, or industrial grade solutions

can damage the pump. Many detergents may require

mixing prior to use.

Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution

bottle.

■ Disconnect pressure washer from power supply.

■ Place pressure washer upright on a flat surface.

■ Remove cap from detergent tank.

■ Pour detergent into tank until it reaches the

maximum fill level located on the unit.

NOTE: Use a funnel, if needed, to prevent accidental

spilling of the detergent outside the tank. If any detergent

is spilled during the filling process, make sure the unit is

cleaned and dried before proceeding.

■ Reinstall cap.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE

WASHER

See Figure 8

CAUTION:

Do not run the pump without the water supply

connected and turned on.

■ Connect the garden hose.

■ Turn the garden hose on then squeeze the high

pressure trigger to relieve air pressure. Once a

steady stream of water appears, release the trigger.

■ After ensuring the switch is in the OFF position,

connect the pressure washer to the power supply.

■ Press ON ( I ) on the switch to start the motor.

■ To stop the motor, release the trigger and press OFF

( O ) on the switch.

USING THE GUN/LANCE

For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should

be between 20cm and 60cm from the surface to be

cleaned. If the spray is too close it can damage the

cleaning surface.

NOTE: For greater control and safety, keep both hands

on the unit at all times.

Several different methods of cleaning are available.

Choose the method best suited for your cleaning project.

NOTE: Any cleaning or rinsing method using high

pressure spray requires that the on/off switch be in the

ON position. For methods using low pressure only, the

switch may be in either the ON or OFF position.

USING THE NOZZLES

See Figure 10

Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best

nozzle for the job. The 25˚ nozzle is for general purpose

or large surfaces. The 0˚ nozzle delivers a fine, powerful

jet used for spot cleaning or high-to-reach areas.

Turbo nozzle rotates at high speed to increase intensity

and cleaning area of the spray, removing mud and clay

from hard surfaces like concrete, brick, or stone.

CAUTION:

NEVER change nozzles without engaging the

lock out on the gun and NEVER point the lance

at your face or at others. The Quick Connect

collar contains small springs that could eject

the nozzle with some force. Failure to heed this

may cause personal injury.

Using the Quick Connect collar, changing nozzles is

easy.

To connect a nozzle to the lance:

n Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water

supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.

n Engage the lock out on the gun by pulling down on

the lock out until it clicks into the slot.

n Push the nozzle into the Quick Connect collar until it

clicks in place and is secured properly.
