ASSEMBLY
A. Slide the handle into position with two screws.
B. Slide the trigger gun holder into position.
C. Installing the trigger gun protection.
D. Locate to storage the power cable.
E. Assembling lance.
F. Connect the high pressure hose to the trigger gun.
G. Disconnect the pressure hose.
H. Connect the high-pressure hose to the water out-
let of the machine.
I. Connect the garden hose to the water inlet.
ATTENTION! ALWAYS USE A WATER FILTER.
Connect the water supply.
ATTENTION! Impurities in the water can damage
the high-pressure pump and the accessories
USE WITH ALTERNATIVE WATER SOURCES
The power washer is self-priming and enables wa-
ter to be drawn in from containers or natural water
sources. It is IMPORTANT that the water filter is in
clean condition when inserting it at the water inlet,
and that only clean water is drawn in.
OPEN TANKS/CONTAINERS AND NATURAL WA-
TER SOURCES
Use the Self Priming accessory kit comprising:
Inlet strainer with non return valve
ƒ
3m reinforced supply hose
ƒ
Universal coupling to the pressure washer
ƒ
This enables the pressure washer to draw water up
to 0,5 m above the water level in the source in ap-
proximately 15 seconds.
Fully immerse the 3m hose into the water to dis-
place the air in the hose. Connect the 3m hose to
the power washer and make sure that the inlet
strainer remains under water.
With the spray gun removed, switch the power
washer on and operate it until water flows uniform-
ly out of the high-pressure hose. If no water is com-
ing out of the high-pressure hose after 25 seconds,
switch the power washer off and check all connec-
tions. As soon as water flows out of the high-pres-
sure hose, switch the power washer off and con-
nect the gunand lance to begin with the work.
It is important that hose and couplings are of good
quality and are tightly connected, and that the seals
are undamaged and properly inserted. Loose con-
nections can impede the priming.
OPERATION
ATTENTION! Dry running of more than 2
minutes leads to damage of the high-pres-
sure pump. If the appliance does not build up
pressure within 2 minutes, switch the appliance off
and proceed in accordance with the instructions in
Chapter "Troubleshooting".
HIGH PRESSURE OPERATION
CAUTION! Keep a distance of at least 30 cm
when using the jet for cleaning painted sur-
faces to avoid damage.
CAUTION! Make sure the ON/OFF switch is
set to "OFF/O" and insert the plug into a
properly installed socket.
ATTENTION! The washer must be used on a
secure and stable surface in a standing, up-
right position.
Connect the product to power and water supply as
described.
Open the water supply.
ƒ
Hold the trigger gun with both hands.
ƒ
Direct the nozzle away from you towards the sur-
ƒ
face to be cleaned.
Note: Make sure that the release trigger gun but-
ton (15) is on the position unlock so the trigger can
be pressed.
Unlock the trigger and press it until a constant
ƒ
amount of water flows through the nozzle, to allow
air trapped in the hose to escape (J).
Release the trigger.
ƒ
Turn the switch "ON/OFF" on the position "ON/I"
ƒ
(K).
Hold the trigger gun with both hands. Direct the
ƒ
water jet to the object to be cleaned and press the
trigger.
Release the lever of the trigger gun; the device will
switch off again and stop the water jet. High pres-
sure remains in the system.
WARNING! Beware of kickback when press-
ing the trigger!
Note: During longer breaks (more than 5 minutes),
also turn the appliance off using the "ON/OFF"
switch.
OPERATION WITH DETERGENT
Only use cleaning agents suitable specifically
for high pressure washers. We recommend that
you use detergent sparingly for the sake of the en-
vironment. Observe the recommended dilution on
the detergent label.
Detergent can only be added when the device is op-
erated in low pressure mode.
DANGER! When using detergents, the materi-
al data safety sheet issued by the detergent
manufacturer must be adhered, especially the
instructions regarding personal protective
equipment.
Remove the cap of the clean detergent bottle.
Fill the tank with detergent designed specifically
for use with pressure washers (L).
Assemble the lance with adjustable spray nozzle on
the trigger gun. Push the nozzle forward to the po-
sition "low". Detergent flow is adjusting using the
regulator (M).
RECOMMENDED CLEANING METHOD
Spray the detergent sparingly on the dry surface and
f
allow it to react, but not to dry.
Push the nozzle back to the position high to remove
f
the detergent.
AFTER OPERATION WITH DETERGENT
Drain and wash out the detergent tank at the end
