IMPORTANT! Thispressurewasherisequipped 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.
NOTE: THE RMAL SENSORA thermal sensor protects the
motor against overloading. The machine will restart
after a few minutes when the pressure washer cools down.

1.Turn the water supply tap on completely.
2.Make sure the safety lock is down and in its original
position (The function is that the trigger cannot be pressed
after being locked, so as to prevent children from touching
it by mistake. It CAN NOT keep the trigger always pressed.)
(Fig.10)
3.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.
4. Turn the switch to the ON (I) position to start the pressure
washer.
Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best
nozzle for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray
pattern.
The nozzle patterns are 40˚(for gentle cleaning), 25˚(for all-
purpose cleaning), 15˚(for tough jobs), Soap nozzle (for
detergent application) and Turbo nozzle.
