SET-UP & USE
Follow these instructions for set-up and use of your high pressure cleaner.
1. Position the machine on a solid level surface with slopes for drainage to prevent
water build-up on the floor or surface. Position the machine so that the operator has
easy access to the pressure cleaner and its controls. Be sure ventilation WARNINGS
are observed.
2. Check and determine that the water supply source is capable of exceeding the output
in litres per minute of the pump. If you are drawing water from a clean static source,
rather than a pressure main, the pressure cleaner must be primed and placed as close
as possible to the water source. The intake hose used must be as large as possible.
When drawing water from a pressure source, you need a hose with 16mm or 5/8”
outside diameter.
3. Connect the high pressure hose to the pressure washer and tighten securely.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! High pressure spray, improperly used could damage the equipment you wish
to clean or the surrounding environment. Practice on scrap materials, gradually
increasing pressure applied to the object by adjusting the nozzle or moving the nozzle
closer to the object until it is cleaned without being damaged.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for damage caused by the consumer's
failure to adjust or operate the machine in accordance with the instruction provided in
the owner manual supplied with the machine.
