Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all
its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If
any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool
Assembly
• Do not connect the pressure washer to the water or electrical supply until
fully assembled and ready for use
• Remove all packaging materials from the product
Lance
• Assemble Lance Handle (12) to Lance Section (16). Insert Lance Section
Bayonet Connector (8) into Lance Handle Bayonet Socket (15) by
inserting, rotating and then releasing so the bayonet fitting is locked in
the groove of the bayonet socket

High pressure hose
1. Remove the plastic cap from the Lance High Pressure Hose Connector
(13) if fitted
2. Carefully cut and remove cable ties around the High Pressure Hose (4)
and unwind, making sure not to damage the hose surface
3. Attach the High Pressure Hose Lance Connector (6) to the Lance High
Pressure Hose Connector (13). Screw the fittings together until tight
4. Remove the plastic cap from the High Pressure Hose Socket (23)
5. Attach the High Pressure Hose Connector (7) to the High Pressure
Hose Socket (23). Screw the fittings together until tight
Warning: If the high pressure hose sustains damage, it can burst and
cause injury. A damaged hose must be replaced, not repaired. Inspect
regularly and prevent the hose coming into contact with sharp objects or
rough surfaces.
Note: After use store the lance in the Lance Bracket (2) and store the high
pressure hose using the Hose Bracket (3) and Hose Storage (22).
Connecting to water supply
Warning: When connecting a pressure washer to a normal house water
supply it is important a non-return valve is fitted to the hose (also called
a backflow preventer) to ensure the pressure washer cannot contaminate
your water supply if there is a backflow.
1. Remove the plastic cap from the Water Inlet Connector (24)
2. Check the filter inside the water inlet connector is clear of debris or
any other material. Over time debris may build up and the filter will
need to be checked regularly and any debris build-up removed
3. Fit the Quick Connector (18) to the Water Inlet Connector (24) and
tighten by hand only
4. Connect a hose from the water supply to the fitted quick connector
Notes:
• The specification lists suitable water inlet pressures. A normal UK
household water supply can range from 1-8 Bar pressure but 2-5 Bar
is more typical. Do not exceed the maximum water pressure stated in
the specification.
• If you do not know or are unable to measure the water pressure, keep
the pressure low to prevent damage to the pressure washer. Aim to
set the pressure at mid-point between the lowest and highest water
pressure accepted by the pressure washer. If preferred, a third party
water pressure gauge is available that connects directly to the tap. This
will allow the water pressure to be set more accurately.
• Do not connect to a hot water supply. This will prevent the pump from
cooling and may damage the seals over time
• It is important that a good water connection is maintained while
operating a pressure washer, as the pump will be damaged if run without
water. Make sure the connections are secure before switching on the
pressure washer
Before use
• Always check that all parts and attachments are secure, and that hoses
are not kinked or obstructed
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Use of this
machine requires safety goggles and waterproof clothing
• Always use an RCD when connecting a pressure washer to the mains
with a tripping current no more than 30mA and a delay in operating of
no more than 30ms
• Make sure any mains connection points are out of reach of the pressure
washer water spray, or any water that may collect on a surface around
where you are spraying
• Only use a mains extension cable suitable for outdoor use, and capable
of carrying the required current for this product. The extension cable
must be protected against water ingress with water-tight connections
where it connects to the pressure washer mains cable
• This product must be earthed and any extension cables used must have
an earth connection
• Always use the pressure washer vertically and make sure it is used on a
flat, level surface
