PURPOSE
zThe high pressure cleaner is designed to clean vehicles, machines, buildings, facades, etc.
in the private sector.
AREAS OF APPLICATION
zNever use the machine in potentially explosive areas under any circumstances!
zThe operating temperature must be between 0 and +40 .℃
zThe machine consists of an assembly with a pump, which is encased in a shock absorbing
housing. For an optimal working position the machine comes with a lance and a non-slip
handle grip, whose shape and configuration comply with the applicable regulations.
zDo not cover or modify the lance or the spray nozzles in any way.
zThe high pressure cleaner is designed to be used with cold or lukewarm (max. 60 );℃
higher temperatures can damage the pump.
zDo not use water that is dirty, gritty or contains any chemical products, as these could
impair operation and shorten the life of the machine.
zAccessories can be used to carry out work with foam cleaners, sand spraying.
7. ASSEMBLY
zPosition the washer as NEAR as possible to the water supply.
zAlways ensure the machine is on a flat level surface and is stable. Never tip the machine on
one side. FIG.2.
zFit the lance into the gun and rotating it until the two parts are completely locked FIG. 3.
zConnect the gun to the high pressure hose FIG.4.
zConnect the high pressure hose to the water outlet on the washer FIG. 5.
zConnect the water supply hose to female coupler FIG.6, then connect to the water inlet of
the washer. The supply hose must have an internal diameter of at least 13mm (1/2 in.) and
must be reinforced. The water supply must be at least equal to the washer delivery
capacity.
zNOTE: The machine not suitable for connection to the potable water main (FIG. 16).
WARNING
The intake water temperature must not exceed 40℃. The water supply must not exceed
0.7 MPa.

CAUTION
The washer must only be used with clean water; use of unfiltered water of corrosive
chemicals will damage the washer.
zPush the motor switch to “OFF” position FIG. 9.
zCheck that the electrical supply voltage and frequency (Volt/Hz) correspond to those

CORRECT USE OF TURBO NOZZLE
zFor increasing washing power, use the turbo nozzle kit as follows:
zTurn off the high pressure washer.
zUnscrew the adjustable head and fit the turbo nozzle onto the lance.
zTurn the high pressure washer back on.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROCEDURE
zDissolve dirt by applying detergent with the fan jet to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces,
work from the bottom upwards. Leave the detergent to act for 1 to 2 minutes, but do not
