ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Install the trigger gun protector using screw provided. Align the mounting hole and assemble the trigger
gun protector onto the product. Secure the connection with the long screw.
Install the high-pressure hose hook. Align the mounting holes and assemble the pressure hose holder
onto the product. Secure the connection with the long screws provided.

Installing the spray wand: Attach the adjustable spray nozzle or rotary nozzle to pressure lance to the
trigger gun and rotate them until the three parts are completely locked.
Align the tongues of the pressure lance with the grooves of the lance connection port of the spray gun
and insert it. There is a spring in the connection port of the spray gun. The spring has to be pressed
down and might need some pressure.
Securely fit the pressure lance by turning it clockwise and letting it lock into place.
To remove the pressure lance, press it towards the lance connection port of the spray gun and turn it
anticlockwise to remove it.
Attach the adjustable spray nozzle or rotary nozzle to pressure lance in the same way of fitting pressure
lance to the trigger gun.
Connect the high-pressure hose to the trigger gun: Push the hose release and hold it in position. Insert
the connector of the pressure hose into the hose connection port of the spray gun. Ensure it snaps in
place. Release the hose release afterwards.

without a washer and filter. Impurities in the water can damage the high-pressure pump and the
accessories.
.
Start up the pressure washer
Park the appliance on an even surface.
Make sure the on/off switch is in its off position “OFF/O”.
Connection to water supply. WARNING! Although this product is suitable for attachment to the drinking
water supply local regulations may prohibit the connection to drinking water connections! Observe the
regulations of your local utility company when connecting the product to a water supply line! If it is
prohibited to connect to the drinking water facility, you must use a backflow preventer which corresponds
to BS EN 12729 Type BA or BS EN 61770!
Attach a suitable water hose (not included) to the water supply and the other end to the water hose
connector.
Insert the mains plug into the socket. WARNING! Check the voltage! The voltage must comply with the
information on the rating label! If using an extension cord it must be suitable for outdoor use with sockets

protected against water splashing. Ensure the extension cord is of the proper size and type for your
product (≥1.5 mm²)! Always use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Start up the device as follows prior to operation:
•Turn on the appliance by switching the switch in its on position “ON/I”
•Unlock the lever of the trigger gun.
•Push the lever of the trigger gun, the device will switch on.
•Let the device run (max. 2 minutes) until the water exits the trigger gun without bubbles.
•Release the lever of the trigger gun.
•Lock the lever of the trigger gun.
High pressure washing operation
Dry running of more than 2 minutes might lead to damage of the high-pressure pump. If the appliance
does not build up pressure within 2 minutes, switch the appliance off and proceed in accordance with
the instructions in Chapter “Troubleshooting”
Do not operate the product when the ambient temperature is below 0 °C. Water will freeze inside the
product and damage it.
Keep a distance of at least 30 cm when using the jet for cleaning painted surfaces to avoid damage.
Make sure the on/off switch is set to “OFF/O” position and insert the plug into a properly installed socket.
The washer must be used on a secure and stable surface in a standing, upright position.
The spray gun is equipped with a trigger lock in order to prevent accidental activation of the trigger.
When the trigger lock is in locked position, the spray gun trigger will be disabled. When the trigger lock
is in unlocked position, the spray gun trigger will be enabled and ready for use. Use the safety trigger
lock, when the product is not in use, when it is left unattended or during assembly of additional
accessories.
Automatic motor start/stop device is operated by the spray gun trigger. When the trigger is released, the
dynamic pressure automatically cuts out the motor. When the trigger is depressed the automatic drop in
pressure starts the motor and the pressure is restored after a very slight delay.
Connect the product to power and water supply as described.
•Open the water supply.
•Hold the spray gun with both hands.
•Direct the nozzle of the chosen accessory away from you towards the surface to be cleaned.
•Unlock the trigger and press it until a constant amount of water flows through the nozzle, to allow air
trapped in the hose to escape.
•Release the trigger.

•Turn the on/off switch to “ON/I” (on). Hold the spray gun with both hands. Direct the water jet to the
object to be cleaned and press the trigger. Release the lever of the trigger gun, the device will switch off
again and stop the water jet. High pressure remains in the system.
WARNING! Beware of kickback when pressing the trigger! Always hold the spray gun with both hands!
Using the patio cleaner brush
Always use the patio brush together with the pressure lance when cleaning floors.
Align the angle connector to the top of the patio brush and the rotating nozzle to the bottom side.
Screw the rotating nozzle on the thread of the angle connector. Tighten it well.
Operation with detergent
Only use mild, environmentally friendly detergents. Never use aggressive chemicals, abrasive
detergents or similar to avoid damage to your health, the product and the environment.
Detergent can only be added when the device is operated in low pressure mode.
When using detergents, the material data safety sheet issued by the detergent manufacturer must be
adhered, especially the instructions regarding personal protective equipment. Gently pull the onboard
detergent tank out of its storage position. Remove the cap, fill the tank with detergent designed
specifically for use with pressure washers until the level riches the upper graduation mark
To connect the foam sprayer to ex to the trigger gun, then twist counterclockwise until the three parts
are completely locked.
Pressure lance

Turn on the pressurecleaner. Press the trigger to operate the unit. The liquid detergent will automatically
mix with water and be discharged through the nozzle.
Handle adjustment
Pushing the handle release button and hold it in position.
Slightly move the transportation handle upward.

Tips
WARNING! Prevent water from penetrating the air vents of the product to minimize the risk of damage
to the product and to reduce the risk of electric shock to the operator!
When dealing with vertical surfaces work from the bottom upwards. Rinse from the bottom upward, use
the high-pressure jet at a minimum distance of 30 cm at 45° angle and then from the top downward.
In some cases, scrubbing with brushes is needed to remove dirt. High-pressure is not always the best
solution for goodwashing results,since itmay damage some surfaces. The finest (thinnest jet)adjustable
nozzle jet setting should not be used on delicate or painted parts, or on pressurized components (e. g.
tires, inflation valves, etc.).
Effective washing depends on both the pressure and volume of the water used, to the same degree.
Begin by spraying in a testing area free and clear of people and objects.
Wood and vinyl decks
Reduce your work area to smaller sections and clean each section one at a time for optimal results.
Rinse at high pressure using fan spray keeping the nozzle at least 15-25 cm from the cleaning surface.
Maintain a further distance from the cleaning area when using jet spray.
Caution! Increase the distance from the cleaning area for softer woods.
Cement patios, stone, and brick
Rinse at high pressure using fan spray in a sweeping motion keeping the nozzle at least 7-15 cm from
the cleaning surface.
Maintain a further distance from the cleaning area when using jet spray.
Cars, boats, and motorcycles
Clean one side at a time to achieve the best results.
Rinse at high pressure using fan spray in a sweeping motion keeping the nozzle at least 20 cm from the
cleaning surface. Maintain a further distance from the cleaning area when using jet spray.
Wipe surface dry for a polished finish.
Do not clean the engine with this product!
After use
WARNING! Only separate the high-pressure hose from the spray gun and the water hose from the
product when no more pressure exists in the system! Also ensure that the product is turned off and
separated from electrical supply!
Release the trigger and lock it.
Turn the on/off switch to its off position “OFF/O”.
Turn off the water tap.
