GROUNDING: This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product-If it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of
adaptor with this product.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION: this high pressu-
re cleaner is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
built into the plug of the power supply cord. This device provides additio-
nal protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord beco-
me necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.
EXTENSION CORDS: Extension cords are NOT recommended to be used with product. If an
extension cord must be used, the following 3 requirements should be met:
1) 14 gauge minimum wire size up to 25 ft. (762 cm.) cord.
2) 12 gauge minimum wire size up to 50 ft. (1524 cm.) cord.
3) Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord
connectors that accept the plug from the product. Use only extension cords that are intended for
outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking ”Acceptable for use with outdoor
appliances; store indoors while not in use.” Use only extension cords having an electrical rating
not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension
cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any
cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension
cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plug with wet hands. Do not use if cord is damaged.

Keep spray head well clear of the face, other people, animals or
plants. Protective clothing and goggles must be worn during use.
3) Remove the lance from the gun;
4) Clean the opening with the suitable instrument
(diameter < 0.04 in. = 1 mm.); Wire tool included.
5) Perform a visual check through the nozzle to see if all obstructions
are removed.

For proper unit operation the pressure washer
must be used in the vertical position.
The safety button on the handgun prevents
inadvertent starting on of the unit.
The output water pressure is adjustable and it is
controlled by the pressure regulation lever.
Turn the lever upward to decrease pressure or
downward to increase pressure.
The output pressure is indicated on the scale.
TURBO NOZZLE Use turbo nozzle or adjust the jet nozzle to increase the
washing effect (the turbo lance is not adjustable).
Caution: Do not move theAdjustable Lance very close to a painted surface at a
90° angle and adjust the nozzle to a pinpoint spray. Hold the lance at a distance of
12 to 15 inches and aim the nozzle at a 45° angle to the surface level. Significant
damage may occur to the painted surface if appropriate care is not observed.
When using detergent applicator,
use only detergents formulated
