Connecting the power supply

See technical data of connected values.
Check whether the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to that of the power source.

Note: If you are using an extension cable, it should always be completely unwound from the cable drum and have a sufficient cross-sectional area: see “Technical Specifications

The use of cable reels that ensure that the sockets are at least 60mm above the ground is recommended.

Connecting the water supply

See Technical Data for connected values.
Connect a water supply hose (not supplied) to the appliance and the water pipe. Starting
Turn on the appliance by pressing the appliance switch. Turn off by pressing the appliance switch again Purpose
Use the appliance to clean machines, vehicles, buildings, tools, etc.
Clean facades, patios, garden implements, etc. with the high-pressure spray only, i.e. without detergent.

Operation

Deaerating the unit

Open the water supply.
To vent the unit, unscrew the nozzle and leave the unit running until the water exits with no air bubbles.
Switch off the unit and screw the nozzle back on. Operating with high pressure
Release safety latch on handgun and press lever.
Switch on unit.

Note: This unit is equipped with a pressure switch. The motor only starts up when the lever on the handgun is pressed.

Selecting type of iet

High-pressure fan jet (25°) for large areas of dirt
Low-pressure fan jet for use with detergents or cleaning at low pressure

Change nozzle only when handgun is closed.

Always direct high-pressure jet at object being cleaned from a greater distance first of all, in order to prevent damage if pressure is too high. Operating with detergents
Use low-pressure nozzle.
Suspend the detergent hose in the detergent container (not included).
In the interest of environmental protection, we recommend that you use detergents sparingly. Observe dosage recommendations shown on label on detergent canister.
We provide a specialized programme of deter- gents and other cleaning products, which gua- rantee trouble-free operation of your cleaner. Please ask for advice or send for our catalogue or information sheets with details about the cleaning agents.
We recommend the following cleaning methods
- Step 1: Loosening dirt Spray on detergent sparingly and leave for 1-5 minutes.
- Step 2: Removing dirt Spray off the loosened dirt with the high-pressure spray.
The appliance should be rinsed clean after detergent has been used. To do this, suspend the detergent suction hose in a container of clean water, and run the pump for approx. 1 minute. Interrupting operation
If you release the trigger of the spray gun, the appliance switches off. If the trigger is pulled again, the appliance switches on again.

Switching off the unit

Switch off the unit and pull the electric plug out of the socket.
Close the water supply.
Squeeze the lever on the spray gun until the unit has depressurized.
Secure the lever on the spray gun against unintentional opening. Transporting the unit

Grounding and 3-pin plug

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Electrical Connection
Your washing machine comes with a plug that meets the new Brazilian standard for plugs and must be connected to an outlet according to NBR 14136. Use an exclusive outlet in perfect condition to connect the device.
Check that the power supply voltage indicated on the label of the washer’s power cord is the same of the outlet where it will be connected.

This washing machine is comes with a 3-pin plug. The housing is connected to the central pin of the plug, which is in direct contact with the ground wire of the mains, increasing the user’s safety.
Pay close attention to the installation instructions, especially regarding supply voltage and grounding.
Remove the plug from the outlet before maintenance or cleaning the device.
Keep all electrical connections dry and without contact with water and/or wet surfaces. Never remove the plug grounding pin.
Do not use adapters that eliminate the plug grounding pin.
Never use an adapter to connect to a 10 A plug. Never use adapters or t-type connectors.
Do not attempt to plug the 3-pin plug into an outlet not in compliance with the NBR 14136.
Connect the plug only to properly grounded outlets.
Before connecting the washing machine to the mains, make sure that the high pressure washing machine on/off button is in the off position.
To turn off the high pressure washing machine, never pull the power cord, pull it only by the plug to avoid damage. Remove the plug from the outlet before maintenance or cleaning the high pressure washing machine.
Failure to follow these instructions may be life threatening, cause fire or electric shock.
