Main power connection
The following must be observed when connecting the high pressure washer to the power supply:

• Connecting the electrical connection should be done by a qualified electrician conforming to 60364-1 CEI
• It is recommended that the electrical supply to this machine should comprise a residual current device which interrupts the current if the leakage current exceeds 30 mA for 30ms.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER NETWORK WARNING
According to current guidelines, the unit must never be operated without a system separator on the potable water system. Use a EN 12729 type BA system separator. Water that passes through a system separator is classified as non- potable.
WARNING: Always connect the system separator to the water supply and never directly to the device!

Technical data

The Circuitry

Contents

First-time instructions

This section will explain in details how to make high-pressure washer ready for use.

SAFETY DEVICES
• The unloader valve can reduce pressure if it exceeds pre-set values. Locking device on trigger gun (see illustration at the beginning of this manual): The trigger gun features a locking device. When the knob is activated, the trigger gun cannot be operated.
THERMAL SENSOR
A thermal sensor protects the motor against overloading. The machine will restart after a few minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled.

Operation instructions

1. Connection of garden hose Screw the water inlet coupling (10) tight onto the water inlet
   Note: The inlet filter (A) must always be fitted in the water inlet pipe to filter out sand, limestone and other impurities as these will damage the pump valves. Caution: Failure to fit the filter will invalidate the guarantee Connect the garden hose with a standard quick coupling

2. Mounting of high-pressure hose Attach the high-pressure hose to the trigger gun and machine. Detach the high-pressure hose by pressing the pawl (A) or button (B)
   

3. Mounting of lance and nozzle Push the lance into the trigger gun When inserted turn it. Caution: Make sure the lance is properly fixed to the gun Attach the nozzles. Caution: When attaching the nozzle the button (A) on the nozzle should come out again. Check before activating the trigger that the nozzle is properly fixed.
   Attention: All accessories nozzle can be installed as above instruction

4. Water connection
   Connecting the water supply pipe
   Follow your water supplier’s instructions.
   For connection information, see the data plate/technical specifications
   Use a reinforced hose (not supplied) with a standard connection (ext. diameter: 16mm/int. 12mm, maximum length: 25m).
   IMPORTANT! Only use water without any impurities. If there is a risk of sand particles in the inlet water (i.e. from your own well), an additional filter should be mounted. Let the water run through the water hose before connecting it to the machine to prevent sand and dirt from penetrating the machine.
   Note: Check that the filter is fitted in the water inlet pipe and that it is not clogged up. Connect the water hose to the water supply by means of the quick connector (inlet water, max. pressure: 10 bar, max. temperature: 60°C). Turn on the water.

5. Start/stop of the machine
   The trigger gun and lance is affected by a thrust during operation – therefore always hold it firmly with both hands.
   IMPORTANT: Point the nozzle at the ground.
   Check that the machine is in upright position. NOTE: Do not place the machine in high grass! Release the trigger lock.
   Activate the trigger of the trigger gun and let the water run until all air has escaped from the water hose.
   Press the Start/stop switch.
   Activate the trigger of the trigger gun.
   Always adjust the distance and thus the pressure of the nozzle to the surface, which is to be cleaned.
   Do not cover the machine during operation or use it in a room without adequate ventilation!
   NOTE: If the machine is left or not used for 5 minutes, it must be switched off on the start/stop switch “O”:
   Press the start/stop switch “O”.
   Disconnect the electrical plug from the socket.
   Shut off the water supply and activate the trigger of the trigger gun to relieve the machine of pressure. Lock the trigger gun When releasing the trigger of the trigger gun , the machine automatically stops. The machine will start again when you re- activate the trigger gun

6. Multi Nozzle
   The pressure for the multi nozzle can be adjusted by turning it.
   WARNING: Do not do this under operation to avoid that the hand hits the jet.

7. Use of built-in detergent bottle
   1. Unscrew the lid built-in detergent bottle.
   2. Add detergent to Built-in detergent bottle.
   3. Replace the nozzle of the spray gun to the detergent nozzle as below:
   4. And then spray detergent.

8. Install indicator diagram
   1.)gun hook assembly ;
   2.)Quick connector structure on the machine body . All the Accessories can be storaged on the machine .

After use instructions

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:
Stop the machine (press the start/stop switch “O” and detach water hose, high- pressure hose, and nozzle Restart the machine and activate the trigger of the trigger gun.
Let the machine run until no more water runs through the trigger gun.
Stop the machine, unplug and wind up hose and cable.
Place trigger gun, lance, nozzles, and other accessories in the holders of the machine. The hook can be used for storage of the hose and cord. All accessories can be stored in the washer after using.
WARNING: Never start up a frozen machine. Frost damages are not covered by the guarantee!

Environmental protection

Old appliances contain valuable materials that can be recycled. Please arrange for the proper recycling of old appliances. Please dispose of your old appliances using appropriate collection systems.

Maintenance, cleaning and repair

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.

1. Cleaning of 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 warranty

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

3. Greasing of couplings To ensure an easy connection and that o-rings do not dry up; the couplings should be greased regularly.
