Surface preparation
Before staring any cleaning task it is important the area for objects which could create a hazard. Remove objects from the work area which area which could be tripped over, such as toys or outdoor furniture. Ensure that all doors and windows are closed tight.

2. USING THE ACCESSORIES
2.1 Adjustable wand
The adjustable nozzle allows you to use any variety of spray patterns from a fan spray to a pencil jet spray. When using pressure washer to clean wood decks, siding, vehicles etc., always start using the fan spray and begin spraying from a minimum 36” away to avoid damaging the surface of the material you are cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not adjust the nozzle while the trigger is squeezed.

2.2 Adjusting the spray
The adjustable spray nozzle can adjust from fan to jet setting. The spray is adjusted from jet spray to fan spray by turning the nozzle as shown in J1, J2.

NOTE: the pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning increases as you move the wand closer to the surface.

CAUTION: Jet spray adjustment is very aggressive. Do not adjust while spraying. We recommend that for most cleaning applications a 20-degree spray angle should be used to avoid damage to the surface being sprayed.

STORAGE
The machine should be stored in a frost-free room! Pump, hose and accessories should always be emptied of water prior to storing as follows:

1. Stop the machine and detach water hose and accessory.

2. Restart the machine and activate the trigger. Let the machine run until no more water
   runs through the spray gun (1).

3. Stop the machine, unplug and wind up hose and cable.

4. Place spray handle, nozzles and other accessories in the holders of the machine. Should
   the machine by mistake be frozen, it will be necessary to check it for damage.

NEVER START-UP A FROZEN MACHINE.
Frost damages are not covered by the guarantee! Winding up of electric cable (8) and high
pressure hose

To avoid accidents, the electric cable (8) and the high pressure hose (14) should always be winded carefully up around the handle (10). Wind up the cable on the appropriate hook.

Storage of accessories
The lance and the nozzles can be stored on the pressure washer.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Always disconnect the electrical plug from the socket prior to maintenance or
cleaning. To ensure a long and problem free working life, please take the following advice:

• Wash out water hose, high pressure hose, spray lance and accessories before mounting.
• Clean the connectors of dust and sand.
• Rinse the detergent spraying attachment after use.
• Clean the nozzles.

Any repair should always be made in an authorized workshop with original spare parts.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Cleaning of water inlet filter
Clean the water inlet filter regularly once a month or more frequently according to use.
Carefully loosen the filter with a screwdriver and clean it. Check that it is intact before re mounting it.

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.

CAUTION: Failure to fit the filter will invalidate the guarantee.
Cleaning of nozzle
A clogging up in the nozzle causes a pump pressure which is too high. This is why
cleaning is required immediately.

1. Stop the machine and disconnect the nozzle.

2. Clean the nozzle.
   IMPORTANT: The cleaning tool should only be used when the nozzle is detached! (Fig. K)

3. Flush the nozzle backwards with water.

Cleaning of machine vents
The machine should be kept clean so as to let cooling air pass freely through the machine vents. Greasing of couplings

To ensure an easy connection and that o-rings do not dry up. The couplings should be greased regularly.

VIBRATION INFORMATION

The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used: How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled. The tool being in good condition and well maintained.

The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition. The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used. And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.

Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate).

If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.
