bottle.
•
Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to
detergent.
•
IMPORTANT: Store the power washer indoors
to prevent the water in the unit from expanding
under freezing conditions. When the water freezes
and expands, your power washer will be damaged
and become inoperable.
•
Never use hot water with your power
washer(40°C+). It will overheat and damage the
high-pressure pump.
•
Never leave the power washer unattended while
it is powered “on”.
•
Always turn the water supply “on” before turning
the power washer power “on”. Running the pump
dry will damage the internal components.
•
Never use a water supply to your power washer
exceeding 7 bar maximum.
•
Never disconnect the high-pressure hose from
the power washer while the system is pressurized.
•
Never permanently engage the trigger
mechanisms on the spray gun.
•
Never operate the power washer unless all
components are properly and securely connected.
•
Never allow the power washer pump to run for
more than one minute after turning off the water
supply. This can cause the motor and pump to
overheat and fail.
•
Only use lances and accessories that are
specified to withstand the water pressure of the
machine.
•
Never spray any electrical outlet with your power
washer.
•
Inspect the power cord before use. Do not use
it if damaged.
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid
hazardous situations.
CAUTION: Read the instructions before
using the machine.
•
The machine should not be used by children.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the machine.
•
The appliance can be used by people with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved.
•
The electric supply connection must be made by
a qualified electrician and comply with the pressure
washer’s specifications. It is recommended that
the electric supply to this machine should include
either a residual current device that will interrupt
the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds
30 mA for 30 ms or a device that will prove the
earth circuit.
•
WARNING: This machine has been designed
for use with the cleaning agent supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer. The use of
other cleaning agents or chemicals may adversely
affect the safety of the machine.
•
WARNING: High pressure jets can be
dangerous if misused. The jet must not be directed
at persons, live electrical equipment or the machine
itself.
•
WARNING: Do not use the machine within
range of people unless they wear protective
clothing.
•
WARNING: Do not direct the jet against
yourself or others in order to clean clothes or
footwear.
•
WARNING: Risk of explosion – Do not spray
flammable liquids.
•
WARNING: High pressure hoses, fittings
and couplings are important for the safety of the
machine. Use only hoses, fittings and couplings
recommended by the manufacturer.
•
WARNING: To ensure machine safety, use
only original spare parts from the manufacturer or
approved by the manufacturer.
•
WARNING: Water that has flowed through
back-flow valves is considered non-potable.
•
WARNING: The machine shall be disconnected
from its power source by removing the plug from
the socket-outlet during cleaning or maintenance
and when replacing parts.
•
WARNING: Do not use the machine if a supply
cord or important parts of the machine, are
damaged, e.g. safety devices, high-pressure hoses,
trigger gun.
•
WARNING: Inadequate extension cords can be
dangerous. If an extension cord is used, it must be
suitable for outdoor use, and the connection must
be kept dry and off the ground. It is recommended
to accomplish this by using a cord reel that keeps
the socket at least 60 mm above the ground.
•
WARNING Always switch off the mains
disconnecting switch when leaving the machine
unattended.
Servicing of a Double-Insulated Appliance
In a double-insulated product, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding.
Grounding means are not provided for a double-
insulated product, nor should grounding means be
added to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should only be done by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated product
must be identical to the original parts. A double-
insulated product is marked with the words
“Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated”. Product
may also be marked with symbol shown below.
Unpacking & Preparation
Instructions
After unpacking the high pressure washer, lay out
the parts and accessories. Familiarize yourself with
the parts in the package by comparing them to
those listed on the box and attached documents.
If assembly is required, refer to the attached
assembly instructions.
Water Inlet Connection
Attach the included water inlet filter as shown in
illustration A, hand tightening is enough. Never
use a standard inlet connector without water filter.
Attach your garden hose to the filter connector. The
included water filter fits standard quick connectors
for garden hoses (Gardena).
High Pressure Hose
Ensure that there is no visible damage of the
high-pressure hose, and connect it to the female
connector on the machine as shown in illustration
B. Connect the other end into the high-pressure
gun as shown in illustration C. One or both of
these connections may already be connected from
the factory. If both ends look the same, the hose
can be used in either direction. Make sure the hose
clicks into place and is securely fastened.
High Pressure Gun
After connecting the pressure gun to the hose, test
the trigger and safety lock. Open the water outlet
valve going into the machine, and make sure there
are no leaks. No water should be able to escape
the water inlet connector, machine, high-pressure
hose or high-pressure gun. Make sure the safety
lock/child proofing works, as shown in illustration
D. It should not be possible to suppress the trigger
while the safety lock is engaged. Unlock the safety
and suppress the trigger until there is a steady and
even water stream from the gun.
Spray Gun, Lance and Accessories
The pressure washer is meant to be used with
accessories mounted on the pressure gun.
All accessories are attached using a bayonet
connector. Push the bayonet end into the female
bayonet connector, twist counterclockwise and let
go. Ensure that the accessory is securely fastened.
Refer to illustration E. All accessories, except for
accessories using pinpoint nozzles (for instance
the turbo nozzle) can be attached directly on the
gun. For safety reasons, accessories that use
pinpoint nozzles (for instance the turbo nozzle), are
only to be used with included lance(s), see figure
F. This is due to safety regulations that dictate a
minimum distance between the handle and harmful
water jets. One or more of the pictured nozzles are
included as standard.
Test and Startup
Plug the power cable into an approved power
outlet. To the extent possible, AVA recommends
using a pressure hose extension (not included)
rather than using a power cord extension. If an
extension cord is used, it must be approved for
outdoor use, and the cross section of the cord
needs to be minimum 1.5 mm2 on up to a 10m
cord, and minimum of 2mm2 from 10m to 20m
cords. Never use a cord that exceeds 20m. Ensure
that the safety lock on the trigger is engaged.
Turn the power switch on the machine to “1,” see
illustration G. The machine has the international
symbols “0” for off, and “1” for on. The machine
should make a short motor sound, and quickly
stop. Direct the pressure gun in a safe direction,
disengage the safety lock and suppress the trigger.
The machine will now start, and there might be a
noticeable kick-back/movement in the gun. Every
time the trigger is released, the machine should
quickly stop.
Familiarize yourself with the different pressure
nozzles and the water jets they deliver. The
relation between power, work area and distance is
explained in illustration H.
Operating Instructions
Consider the user manual and warnings and use
common sense. There are different opinions on
what can be cleaned using high pressure, but
from our experience, common sense will get you
a long way. Illustrations H and I show some of the
possibilities and areas of use, but we recommend
also visiting our website for more information.
Remember that the water force decreases while
the contact area increases with larger surface
distance.
Remember to always engage the safety lock while
not holding the pressure gun and follow the “after
use” instructions before storing the machine. If the
