Instructions
Operation
The equipment consists of an assembly with a pump, which is
encased in a shock absorbing housing. The equipment comes with
a lance and a non-slip gun (for an optimal working position), whose shape and
configuration comply with the applicable regulations.
Using for the first time
Once you have completely assembled the high-pressure cleaner
and connected all connections, proceed as follows:
Turn on the water inlet supply. Press safety pin “a” (Fig. 2) on the
spray gun and pull back trigger lever “b” (Fig. 2) in order to bleed
the trapped air out of the device.
Turn on the device by switching the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/12) to “I”.
To temporarily turn off, release the trigger lever (b), at which point
the device goes to standby. As soon as you press the trigger lever
again (b), the high-pressure cleaner restarts.
To completely turn off the high-pressure cleaner, switch the ON/OFF
switch (Fig. 1/12) to “0”.
Using cleaning agent (Fig. 2;7)
Unscrew and remove the foam nozzle (7) from the cleaning agent
tank (15) (Fig. 7). Fill a suitable cleaning agent into the cleaning
agent tank (15) and replace the foam nozzle (7). Fit the foam nozzle
(7) to the pistol (14) as shown in Fig. 2. The cleaning agent will be
added automatically.
Holder for the gun/accessories (Fig. 1;8)
The gun and accessories can be kept in the provided holder
(10) (Fig. 8) in order to save space when not in use.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
Important! Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
Cleaning
• Keepallsafetydevices,airventsandthemotorhousingfreeofdirt
and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth
or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• Werecommendthatyoucleanthedeviceimmediatelyeachtime
you have finished using it.
• Cleantheequipmentregularlywithamoistclothandsomesoft
 soap.Donotusecleaningagentsorsolvents;thesecouldattack
the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
Maintenance
Checking the water intake filter (Fig. 10-11/19)
Periodically check the intake filter in order to prevent clogging,
which could jeopardize operation of the pump.
To do this, unscrew the connection coupling for the water inlet hose
fromthedeviceandcleantheexposedinletsievebyplacingitunder
running water. Then re-fit the filter and connection coupling.
Long periods of non-use (electric pump)
If the machine is going to be stored for longer periods of time
(i.e. over 3 months) in a room where frost could develop, it is
recommended that the machine be filled with an antifreeze
solution (similar to the antifreeze solutions used for vehicles).
Whenthedeviceisnotusedforanextendedperiodoftime,
lime deposits begin to form in the electric pump, which in turn
can lead to starting difficulties.

For EU countries only
Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.
To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old
electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in national
laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and
disposed of in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking
to a recycling depot.
Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices:
As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is
obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the device is properly recycled
if ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over
the used device to a returns center, which will dispose of it in
accordance with national commercial and industrial waste
management legislation. This does not apply to the accessories and
auxiliaryequipmentwithoutanyelectricalcomponentswhichare
included with the used device.
