INSTRUCTIONS

After connecting the appliance to the water outlet, follow the instructions

  • Make sure the switch is off
  • Connect the hose
  • Connect the gun, the lance and the nozzle as it appears in the instructions.
  • open the water
  • Before turning on the appliance, press the trigger to release any air remaining in the hose and the pump
  • Turn on the switch and pull the trigger. Remember, the motor does not run continuously, only when the trigger is pulled.

WARNING: RISK OF DAMAGE! The unit will begin to spray when the trigger is pulled.
When turning off the unit after use, there is still high pressure inside the hose and unit. Point the gun in a safe direction and release excess pressure. NEVER direct the high pressure water jet towards people or animals.

AUTO ON/OFF
The pressure washer is equipped with an automatic on/off switch. The pressure washer will only operate when the power switch is in the ON position and the gun trigger is pulled. When you release the trigger to stop spraying water through the gun, the motor will automatically shut off. Just squeeze the trigger again to continue using the cleaner. To release the pressure washer, release the trigger and turn the switch to the OFF position. The unit must be completely OFF when not in use or while unattended.

PURGE THE GUN
It is very important to purge the gun before using the pressure washer. To do this, simply connect the hose to the pressure washer and squeeze the trigger BEFORE turning on the power. This allows trapped air to be removed from within the pressure washer and gun prior to using the unit. Continue holding the trigger for about a minute to allow excess air to escape from the unit. Water will flow through the gun during this procedure.

SAFETY LOCK FOR THE GUN
This pressure washer is equipped with a gun trigger safety lock. When the pressure washer is not in use, use the safety lock to avoid accidentally activating the high pressure spray.

ADJUSTABLE SPRAY TIP
The adjustable nozzle will allow you to use any variety of spray patterns from a full fan spray (Diagram 1) to a straight stream spray (Diagram 2). When using the pressure washer to clean wood, decking, siding, vehicles etc., always start using the fan spray and start spraying from a minimum of 1m away to avoid damaging the surface of the material being cleaned. Always start by cleaning in a free test area clear of people and objects.

  • Warning: High pressure jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must not be directed at people, live electrical equipment or the appliance itself.
  • Do not direct the jet towards yourself or towards other people to clean clothes or shoes.

UNLOCK SPEAR

When the nozzle is clogged it will cause the pump to build up pressure and can cause the unit to overload.

USING THE DETERGENT TANK

Use biodegradable detergents; they are specifically formulated to protect the environment and your pressure washer. These detergents will not clog the filter and will protect the internal parts of the pressure washer for longer life.
You can clean the nozzle by inserting the provided needle into the tip to remove clogging. For the adjustable nozzle, you can lubricate the neck of the nozzle using non-water soluble grease.

Step 1
Separate the nozzle from the detergent container by turning clockwise and separating the two parts.

Step 2
Fill the detergent container. Pour the detergent slowly into the tank using a funnel. Reinsert the nozzle into the reservoir and turn clockwise.

Step 3
Connect the nozzle with detergent tank to the gun. Turn the switch on the pressure washer to the ON position. Squeeze trigger to turn unit on. The pressure washer will mix the detergent with water. Do not let the detergent dry on the item you are cleaning.

WARNING: never use products with bleach, chlorine or any other corrosive material, including liquids containing solvents (ie gas, oils, etc.), tri- sodium phosphate, ammonia or acid-based products. These chemicals will damage the unit and cause damage to the surface being cleaned.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

When you are finished using the pressure washer, follow these steps to put it away:

  • Put the switch in the OFF position.
  • Close the water supply.
  • Before disconnecting the hose, point the gun in a safe direction and discharge any remaining water.
  • Disconnect hose, pressure washer, and gun.
  • Disconnect the hose from the water supply.
  • Remove excess water from the pump by tilting the unit on both sides to drain remaining water from the inlet and outlet fittings.
  • Remove the water inlet filter and rinse it with water to remove any dirt or debris. Replace the filter once clean.
  • Empty the detergent tank and rinse it with clean water.
  • Clean any remaining water from all parts and accessories.
  • Activate the gun safety lock.
  • Store the pressure washer, parts and accessories in an area with a temperature above 0°C (32°F).

MAINTENANCE

  • This pressure washer is supplied with a closed lubrication system, so it is not necessary to add oil.
  • Check all hoses and fittings for damage before use.
  • Periodically check the inlet filter for deposits. Clean this filter regularly for maximum performance.

CLEANING TIPS

WARNING: ALWAYS TEST THE WATER JET IN A FREE AREA CLEAR OF PERSONS AND OBJECTS BEFORE SPRAYING ON THE INTENDED CLEANING SURFACE.

Wood and vinyl decking
Rinse the cover and the surrounding area with clean water. If you are using detergent, fill the detergent tank and apply it to the area being cleaned at low pressure. For best results, reduce your work area to smaller sections and clean each section one at a time. Let the detergent sit on the surface for a few minutes, then rinse with high pressure. DO NOT ALLOW THE DETERGENT TO DRY ON THE SURFACE. Always wipe from left to right and top to bottom for best results. Rinse at high pressure with the fan spray keeping the tip of the spray nozzle a minimum of 15cm to 25cm from the cleaning surface. Keep a greater distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray. Caution: For softer woods, increase the distance from the cleaning area.

Cement, Stone and Brick Patios
Rinse the area with clean water. If you are using detergent, fill the reservoir and apply it to the area being cleaned at low pressure. High pressure rinse using a fan spray in a sweeping motion keeping the tip of the nozzle a minimum of 15cm to 25cm from the cleaning surface. Keep a greater distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray.

Cars, Boats and Motorcycles
Rinse with clean water. If using detergent, fill reservoir and apply to area being cleaned at low pressure. For best results, clean one side at a time. Let the detergent sit on the surface for a few minutes, but don’t let it dry. High pressure rinse using the fan jet in a sweeping motion keeping the nozzle at least 20cm from the cleaning surface. Keep a greater distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray. Dry the surface to obtain an optimal finish.

Barbecue grills, electrical equipment and garden tools
Rinse with fresh water. If you use detergent, fill the tank and apply it to the area being cleaned at low pressure. Let the detergent sit on the surface for a few minutes, but do not let the detergent dry out. High pressure rinse at a minimum distance of 3cm to 8cm from the cleaning surface. Keep a greater distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray.
