Accessories using guide
Select the right nozzle for the job.
Your product is supplied with a selection of quick connect nozzle tips. The
nozzles are sized specifically to give you maximum pressure at all times. Each
nozzle is marked and rated in degrees of fan. They are also color coded (see
chart on opposite page). The higher the number of the fan degree, the wider
the fan pattern is. The tighter the spray fan the more impact on the surface,
which is good for cleaning tough jobs. The wider the spray fan, the more
spread out the impact on the surface, so they are better for easy jobs, or
soft surfaces. Finding the correct nozzle for the job at hand make take some
experimenting. Always start with the widest fan degree and continue to the
lower degree fans until the best work result is achieved. Always test the
nozzle on an area that is not noticeable.
NOTICE : Not all models come with all nozzles described in this section.
Use only the information pertaining to the nozzles supplied with your
product.(Nozzle selection Chart)
- 0° Nozzle – Red: This nozzle delivers a pinpoint stream of pressurized water and is extremely powerful. Use it for the toughest cleaning jobs, although It covers only a small area. This nozzle should only be directed at surfaces that can withstand intense high pressure such as metal or concrete. Do not use this nozzle to clean wood or soft surfaces.
- 15° Nozzle – Yellow: This nozzle delivers a 15-degree spray pattern for heavy duty cleaning and stripping. It should only be used on surfaces that can withstand pressure from this nozzle.
- 25° Nozzle – Green: This nozzle delivers a 25-degree spray pattern for general tasks. It should only be used on surfaces that can withstand pressure from this nozzle.
- 40° Nozzle – White: This nozzle delivers a 40-degree spray pattern for easily damaged surfaces. It should only be used on surfaces that can withstand pressure from this nozzle.

- Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by using a clean water source
if required.
About water supply
- Do not use with non-water liquid, only use with cold water supply.
- Water hose must be at least 1/2″ in diameter.
- The flow rate of water supply shall not be less than 5L/min.
- Flow rate can be determined by running the water into an empty container for one minute.
- The water supply temperature must not exceed 40℃(1040℉).
Cleaning & Maintenance
Before performing maintenance or cleaning, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the socket. To ensure a long and problem-free working life, please adopt the following suggestions:
- Washwater hose, high pressure hose, spray lance and accessories before mounting.
- Clean the dust and sand on connectors.
- Rinse the detergent spraying attachment after use.
- Clean the nozzles after each use.
- Any repair should always be made in an authorized workshop with original spare parts.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Water inlet filter cleaning and installation
- Clean the water inlet filter regularly once a month or more frequently according to use.
- Unscrew quick connector and take water inlet out to clean the water inlet filter.
- Before re-installing, please check if it is in good condition.
- The inlet filter must always be fitted inside the water inlet pipe to filter out sand, limestone and other impurities, as they will damage the pump valves.
Cautions: Failure to fit the filter well cannot filter out impurities.
Nozzle cleaning
A blockage in the nozzle will cause the pump pressure to be too high. This is why it needs to be cleaned immediately:
- Stop the machine and disconnect the nozzle.
- Clean the nozzle, flush the nozzle backward with water.
Important: The cleaning tool should only be used when the nozzle is detached!
-
Manchine vents cleaning
It should be kept clean so as to let cooling air freely pass through the machine vents. -
Greasing of couplings
The coupling should be greased regularly to ensure an easy connection and non- crack O-ring.
