OPERATING YOUR PRESSURE CLEANER
1. HOW TO PRE-START PRESSURE CLEANER
To start your pressure cleaner for the first time, follow these instructions. This
information also applies if you let the pressure cleaner sit idle for at least a day.
1.1 Place pressure cleaner near an outside water source capable of supplying
water at a flow rate at least 5 gallons/19L per minute and no less than 20 psi at
pressure cleaner end of garden hose.
1.2 Check all high-pressure hose connections are tightly connected to the pump,
valve, spray gun and Surface-Cleaner.
1.3 Make sure there are no kinks on hoses
1.4 Make sure the unit is in a levelled position.
2. ATTACHING HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE TO SPRAY-GUN
2.1 The spray gun is preassembled to a swivel male quick-connect fitting.
2.2 Connect the Quick-Connect female fitting from the high-pressure hose to
the spray gun as shown by hand, make sure it’s a tight fit and the threads
are not cross threaded (the connection is a self-sealed one, hence no
plumbing is needed)
