NOZZLE
When the nozzle is clogged, it will cause the pump to build pressure and may
cause unit to surge, you can clean the nozzle inserting needle into the tip to
rid of the deposits. For the adjustable nozzle, you can also lubricate the
nozzle collar (high pressure to low pressure ) by using non-water soluble
grease regularly.
INLET FILTER
The inlet filter may become blocked. To check and clean:
- Turn unit OFF and disconnect from mains power.
- Turn water OFF.
- Bleed off excess water and disconnect from mains water.
- Unscrew and remove hose connector.
- Remove white filter and check and clean.
- Once clean replace white filter and re-fit the hose connector.
- Turn Water on and bleed pressure washer.
- Turn pressure washer on and resume cleaning.
CLEANING
NEVER use this pressure cleaner to clean itself. Damage caused by cleaning the
pressure washer with its own gun will not be covered under warranty. Ensure
pressure washer is cool before cleaning, about 1 hour after use.
- Wipe down all surfaces with a soft clean cloth.
- Rinse all nozzles, detergent bottle in a bucket of clean water.
- Allow to dry before storing.
STORAGE
NOTE: When storing the pressure washer, parts, and accessories always
store in a secure area with a temperature above 0° C.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
FOLLOW ALL OF THE NORMAL SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES HOWEVER ADD THESE FOLLOWING STEPS….
- After disconnecting the water supply, and before disconnecting the high-pressure hose, turn the pressure cleaner on for 2-3 seconds, until any remaining water in the pump exits. TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY.
CONTINUED USE OF THE PRESSURE CLEANER WITHOUT WATER SUPPLY ATTACHED WILL CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE UNIT!
CLEANING TIPS
RECOMMENDATIONS
If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use extreme caution as pressure
washer may remove the loose paint from the surface. Note: Always pre-test any
paint work in an inconspicuous area in case of paint damage.
DECK CLEANING – WITH OR WITHOUT DETERGENT
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If using deck wash,
place deck wash into a bucket of cold water and apply with a brush and
thoroughly clean area. For best results, limit your work area to smaller
sections of approximately 2m square, allow deck wash to remain on surface 1-3
minutes.
Do not allow deck wash to dry on surface, if surface appears to be drying,
simply wet down surface with fresh water. Rinse at high pressure in a long
sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately 75mm to 150mm from the
cleaning surface. Always clean from top to bottom and from left to right. For
stubborn dirt/stains you can use the turbo nozzle. Be careful as the turbo
nozzle may damage timber or some surfaces if held too close or too long on the
area. When moving on to a new section of the cleaning surface, be sure to
overlap the previous section to eliminate stop marks and ensure a more even
cleaning result.

remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow house wash to dry on surface, if
surface appears to be drying, simply wet down surface with fresh water. Rinse
at high pressure from top to bottom in an even sweeping motion keeping the
spray nozzle approximately 150mm from the cleaning surface.
