Before start-
ing up your
high-pressure
washer for the
first time, this
instruction manual must
be read through carefully.
Save the instructions for
later use.
Safety instruc-
tions marked
with this symbol
must be ob-
served to prevent danger to
persons.
This symbol is
used to mark
safety instruc-
tions that must
be observed to
prevent damage to
the machine and its per-
formance.
This symbol
indicates tips
and instructions to simplify
work and to ensure safe
operation.

Do not let children or peo-
ple who have not read the
instruction manual operate
the machine.
Before starting up your ma-
chine please check it care-
fully for any defects. If you
find any, do not start up
your machine and contact
your Gerni distributor.
Especially check:
The insulation of the
electric cable should be
faultless and without any
cracks. If the electric
cable is damaged, an au-
thorized Gerni distributor
should replace it.
WARNING!
High pressure jets can be
dangerous. Never direct
the water jet at persons,
pets, live electrical equip-
ment or the machine
itself.
Never try to clean clothes
or footwear on yourself
or other persons.
Hold the spray lance firm-
ly with both hands. The
spray lance is affected by
a thrust of up to 16.4 N
during operation.
The operator and anyone
in the immediate vicin-
ity of the site of clean-
ing should take action to
protect themselves from
being struck by debris
dislodged during opera-
tion. Wear goggles during
operation.
Never use the machine
in an environment where
there could be a danger
of explosion. If any doubt
arises, please contact the
local authorities.
It is not allowed to clean
asbestos-containing sur-
faces with high pressure.
 This high pressure wash-
er must not be used at
temperatures below 0°C.

3 Before you start using your
pressure washer
3.1 Mounting of
trolley handle and
hose hook (standard
models)
that the handle is mount-
ed as illustrated. Mount
screws with nuts (make
sure that the screws go
through handle as well as
tube).
2.Mount the hose hook
(14) on the machine (2
screws). Note: the hose
hook can be mounted on
the front as well as on
the back. Front position is
to be used if the product
is used together with a
special wall hook for wall
storage.
3.2 Mounting of hose
reel handle (models
with hose reel)
1.Click the hose reel handle
on to the trolley handle
(no screws).
1.Push down the trolley
handle (12) over the two
metal tubes. Make sure

3.3 Mounting of quick
coupling 1.Screw the quick coupling (16)tight on to the water
inlet (2).
Note: The inlet filter must
always be fitted in the wa-
ter 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.

4 Operating your pressure
washer
4.1 Connection of high
pressure hose (mo-
dels without hose
reel)
1.Mount the high pressure
hose on the outlet (3).
3.4 Mounting of high
pressure hose
Attach the high pressure
hose (4) to the spray gun
(7).
Detach the high pressure
hose by pressing the button
(A).

4.2 Mounting of spray
lance and Click &
Clean nozzles 
2.Attach the nozzle.
Warning: When
attaching the
Click & Clean
nozzles, the
button on the side
of the spray lance should
come out again.
Note: The Torna-
do® PR nozzle
and the foam
sprayer feature a swivel
lock, which must be po-
sitioned in the hole in the
Click & Clean spray lance.
Press the button to detach
the Click & Clean nozzle.
1.Push the spray lance (6)
into the spray gun (7)
and twist it on.

used for flushing away
dirt.


4.3 Water connection An ordinary 1/2" garden
hose of min. 10 m and max.
25 m will be suitable.
NOTE: Connection to the
public mains according to
regulations.
IMPORTANT! Only use
water without any impu-
rities. If there is a risk of
running sands in the inlet
water (i.e. from your own
well), an additional filter
should be mounted.
1.Let the water run through
the water hose before
connecting it to the ma-
chine 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.
2.Connect the water hose
to the water supply by
means of the quick con-
nector (inlet water, max.
pressure: 10 bar, max.
temperature: 50°C).
3.Turn on the water.

4.5 Start and stop of the
machine (when con-
nected to a water
supply)
The spray lance is affected
by a thrust during operation
- therefore always hold it
firmly with both hands. IM-
PORTANT: Point the nozzle
at the ground.
1.Check that the machine
is in upright position.
NOTE: Do not place the
machine in tall grass!
2.Release the trigger lock.
3.Activate the trigger of
the spray gun and let the
water run until all air has
escaped from the water
hose.
4.Turn the start/stop switch
(1) to position "I".
5.Activate the trigger of the
spray 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.
Note: If the
machine is left
or not used
for 5 minutes, it must be
switched off on the start/
stop switch "O" (1):
1.Turn the start/stop switch
to position "O".
2.Disconnect the electrical
plug from the socket.
3.Shut off the water supply
and activate the trigger
to relieve the machine of
pressure.
4. Lock the spray gun.
When releasing the trigger
of the spray gun, the ma-
chine automatically stops.
The machine will start again
when you re-activate the
spray gun.
4.4 Telescopic handle
The machine features a
telescopic handle. To raise
or lower the handle, press
the knob and move the
handle upwards or down-
wards. When a click is
heard, the handle is in right
position.
filter if the water contains
impurities.
2.Turn the start/stop switch
to position "I".
3.Activate the trigger of
the spray gun with lance
and nozzle removed and
let the water run, until
the air has escaped from
the water hose and the
pump.
4.Mount spray lance and
nozzle.
The washer can take in wa-
ter from a rain water tank
or bucket as an example.
The hose for the water sup-
ply must not be too long,
approx. 5 m.
Make sure that the water
tank is not placed on a low-
er level than the machine.
1.Place the other end of the
water hose in the water
tank. Use an external

4.7 Pressure regulation
on the TORNADO®
PR-nozzle
The pressure can be regu-
lated on the TORNADO®PR
nozzle.
4.8 Stationary use If mounting a special wall
hook (not standard), the
pressure washer can be
used as a stationary solu-
tion meaning that it can be
operated while hanging on
the wall.
Only mount the wall hook
on a sturdy wall. Adjust
the length of the screws
and size of rawlplugs to the
type of wall.
On the wall hook garden/
rim brush (a) foam sprayer
(b), Click & Clean brush (c)
and Click & Clean nozzles
(d) can be stored.
Important: The
bearing capac-
ity of the wall

5 Fields of application and
working methods
5.1 General Efficient high presure cleaning is achieved by following a
few guidelines, combined with your own personal experi-
ence of specific cleaning tasks. Accessories and deter-
gents, when correctly chosen, can increase the efficiency
of your pressure washer. Here is some basic information
about cleaning.
5.1.1 Detergent and foam Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so
that the chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt.
Detergents are applied from bottom to top, for example
on a car bodywork, in order to avoid "super clean" areas,
where the detergent collects in higher concentration and
streams downwards. Let the detergent work for several
minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface
being cleaned. Note: It is important that the detergents do
not dry up. Otherwise the surface that has to be cleaned
can be damaged.
5.1.2 Mechanical effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional
mechanical effect may be required. Special wash brushes
offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt (es-
pecially by car washing).
