WARNING:
Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
n Position the cleaner as NEAR as possible to the water
supply.
n The cleaner must be used standing on a secure,
stable surface, positioned as shown. (Fig. )
INTENDED USE
n The cleaner is intended only for the cleaning of
vehicles, machines, boats, buildings, etc., by the
removal of stubborn dirt using clean water and
chemical detergents. .
n For domestic use only, not for professional use, and
only for operation at temperatures above 0° C .
n Compliant with EN 60335--79/A standard.
n When using chemical detergents, use only highly
biodegradable types.
n Only clean vehicle engines in areas in which suitable
oil traps are installed.
SAFETY VALVE
n The safety valve also functions as a pressure limiting
valve. When the gun trigger is released, the safety
valve opens and the water recirculates through the
pump inlet.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
When connecting the appliance to the water
supply mains, please observe the local
regulations of local boards or local water supplier.
CAUTION:
To ensure that there is no feedback of contaminant
into the water supply, the appliance must not be
connected directly to the public drinking water
supply mains.
CAUTION:
If the appliance is connected to potable water
mains, backflow prevention devices should be
incorporated in or fixed to the water supply system.
The installation should be accepted by local boards or
water supplier and should be conducted by professional
technical personnel. The backflow prevention devices
should be appropriate to fluid categories and comply
with the requirement to avoid backsiphonage according
to EN 60335--79/A: 007.
n Fit the lance into the gun. Rotate it until the two parts
are completely locked. (Fig. 3)
n Connect the gun to the high pressure hose. (Fig. )
n Connect the high pressure hose to the water outlet
on the cleaner. (Fig.5)
n Connect the water supply hose to the female coupler
(Fig. 6), then connect to the water inlet of the
cleaner. The supply hose must have an internal
diameter of at least 3mm (/ in.) and must be
reinforced. The water supply must be at least equal
to the cleaner delivery capacity.
WARNING:
The intake water temperature must not exceed
0°C (0° F). The water supply must not exceed
5 bar (0.5Mpa)
CAUTION:
The cleaner must only be used with clean water;
use of unfiltered water or corrosive chemicals will
damage the cleaner.
n Turn the motor switch to the “OFF” position. (Fig.9)
n Check that the electrical supply voltage and
frequency (Volt/Hz) correspond to those specified on
the cleaner rating plate. (Fig.7) If the power supply is
correct, you may now plug in the cleaner.
n The cleaner must only be connected to power
sockets with regulation earth connection. A differential
safety breaker (30mA) will increase the safety of
operators.
OPERATION
n Turn on the water supply tap fully.
n Release the safety lock (Fig.8), then press the
trigger for a few seconds to allow air to escape
and to discharge residual pressure in the pipes.
n Keeping the trigger pressed, push the switch to start
the motor. (Fig.9)
n When re-starting the motor, always keep the
trigger pressed.
USE DETERGENT(OPTIONAL ACCESSORY)
CAUTION:
Liquid detergent must be sprayed at low pressure.
n Fill the detergent tank to the level indicated through
the inlet. (Fig.0)
CORRECT USE OF STANDARD ACCESSORIES
n The cleaner is equipped with the adjustable nozzle,
which provides some important functions:

6
English
n LOW PRESSURE operation (for suction and
spraying of detergent.)
n HIGH PRESSURE operation (for high pressure
washing and rinsing).
n Jet adjustment from pencil to fan. (Fig.)
RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROCEDURE
n Dissolve dirt by applying detergent with the fan jet
to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces, work from
the bottom upwards. Leave the detergent to act for
 to  minutes, but do not allow to dry out. Apply the
high pressure jet, keeping the nozzle at least 30cm
(0 in.) from the surface, working from the bottom
upwards.
n Avoid allowing the rinsing water to run on to
unwanted surfaces.
STORAGE
n Switch off the cleaner.
n Turn off the water supply tap.
n After use, the detergent residuals should be removed
from the tank.
n Discharge residual pressure by pressing the trigger
until no more water comes out of the adjustable
nozzle.
n Engage the gun safety lock.
n Remove the plug from the socket.
n Operate the cleaner with non-corrosive/ non-toxic
antifreeze before storing for the winter.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Before working on the cleaner, disconnect the
plug from the power supply socket.
n To ensure good performance, check and clean the
suction and detergent filters after every 50 hours of
operation. (Fig.)
n Clean the nozzle with the tool provided. Remove the
lance from the gun, (Fig.3), remove any dirt from
the nozzle hole (Fig.) and rinse.
