Operation
IMPORTANT! This pressure washer is
equipped with a micro-switch sensitive to
water flow. This Total Stop System (TSS)
senses water flow in the pump. When the
trigger is released, water stops flowing
through the pump. The TSS then
automatically turns the motor off to protect
the pump from overheating, thus saving
energy and prolonging pump life.
CAUTION! The trigger gun and lance is
affected by a thrust during operation,
therefore always hold it firmly with both
hands. Point the spray gun at the ground.
Check that the machine is in upright
position. Do not place the machine in high
grass!
1. Turn the water supply tap on completely.
2. Release the trigger lock(Fig.10). Press the
trigger for a few seconds until water flow
is steady. This will allow air to escape and
discharge any residual pressure in the
hose.
