Note: The motor on this pressure washer does not run connuously. It only runs when the trigger of the spray
gun is squeezed. Aer following the startup procedures in this manual, turn the pressure washer ON and
squeeze the trigger for acvaon, see usage instrucon secon in this manual for further details.
Always follow detergent manufacturer’s label recommendaons for proper use of detergents. Always protect
eyes, skin, and respiratory system from detergent use.
Assembly
1. Aach the high pressure hose to the pressure water outlet on the front of the pressure washer.
2. Aach the spray handle to the high pressure hose.
3. Prior to operang the machine please ensure that the high pressure hose has been completely
uncoiled. Whilst the pressure washer is in use the hose should not loop.
4. Mount the nozzle, lance or any other equipment you want to use.
5. Connect the machine to the water and power supplies.
WARNING The pressure washer is not supposed to pump hot water. NEVER connect it to a hot water supply as
it will significantly reduce the life of the pump.
WARNING! This machine has been designed for use with the cleaning detergents designed for use in pressure
cleaners. The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may adversely affect the safety of the machine.
WARNING! In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent reseng of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must
be used with a Residual current Device (RCD) within the circuit.
Always release the trigger when changing from high to low pressure modes. Failure to do so could result in
damage.

Adjusting the width of the spray
The angle of spray coming out of the lance may be adjusted on by rotating the nozzle. This will vary the spray
pattern from approximately a 0° narrow high impact stream to a 60° wide fan spray. See below.
A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact of the water over a larger area, resulting in excellent cleaning
action with a reduced risk of surface damage ideal for large surface areas
A narrow stream has high impact force on the cleaning surface and results in maximum deep cleaning in a
concentrated area. However, this narrow high impact spray must be used cautiously, as it may damage some
surfaces.
Usage
Detergents
The use of detergents can reduce cleaning time and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Some detergents
have been designed specifically for pressure washers. These detergents are approximately as thick as water.
The use of thicker detergents, the consistency of washing up liquid and shampoo, will clog the chemical
injection system and prevent the application of the detergent.
Spraying/cleaning techniques
The cleaning power of detergents comes from applying them to a surface and giving the chemicals time to
break down the dirt and grime. Detergents work best when applied at low pressure.
The combination of chemical action and high pressure rinsing is very effective.
On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom and work your way upward. This will prevent
the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks.
High pressure rinsing should also progress from the bottom to top. On particularly tough stains, it may be
necessary to use a brush in combination with detergents and high pressure rinsing.
Operation
The following cleaning procedure will help you to organize your cleaning task, ensuring that you achieve the
most beneficial results in the shortest amount of time.
Remember to use the spraying/cleaning techniques as above.
1. Surface preparation
Protecting all garden furniture and make sure that all windows and doors are closed tight before use of the
pressure washer. In addition, you should make sure that all plants in the cleaning area are protected by
covering with a plastic sheet.
2. Initial High Pressure Rinse
The next step is to spray the cleaning surface with water to clear off any dirt or grime that may have collected
on the surface. This will allow your detergent to attack the deep down dirt that has worked its way into the
surface. Before commencing, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern and slowly adjust to the desired spray

pattern. This will help you avoid applying too much concentrated spray to the surface that may cause damage.
3. Detergent Application
NOTE: Use only detergents formulated for pressure washers. Test detergent in an inconspicuous area before
use.
NOTE: Detergent will only be released when the gun is set to low pressure.
Detergent application
Follow manufacturer’s label directions for mixing correct concentrations of detergent to water ratio through
the pressure washer setting is approximately 5.4% (1 to 19).
1. Unscrew to top of detergent applicator and fill applicator with detergent.
2. Replace top on applicator.
3. Remove the lance from gun if preferred.
4. Attach detergent applicator to gun and set the gun to low pressure see below.
5. Apply detergent so it thoroughly covers cleaning surface. Apply from bottom to top to prevent detergent
from sliding down and streaking.
6. Allow detergent to remain on the surface for a few minutes. This is a good time to use a brush to lightly
scrub heavily soiled areas.
Never allow detergent to dry on the cleaning surface.
7. Remove detergent applicator from gun and replace with the lance, or remove applicator from end of lance.
8. Rinse detergent from surface.
NOTE: Flush detergent applicator with clear water following each use.
4. Final Rinse
Start final rinse at bottom and work upward. Make sure you thoroughly rinse the surface and that all detergent
has been removed.
5. Turning Off
1. Be sure all detergent is flushed from system.
2. Turn off motor.

3. Turn off water supply.
4. After motor and water supply are turned off press the trigger of the gun to depressurize system.
CAUTION: NEVER turn water supply off before turning motor off. Serious damage could occur to the pump and
or motor.
WARNING! NEVER disconnect high pressure discharge hose from machine while system is pressurized. To
depressurize, turn motor off, turn water supply off and squeeze the gun trigger 2-3 times.
5. After each use, wipe all surfaces of the pressure washer with a clean, damp cloth.
6. Storage
Do not store the pressure washer outdoors.
Do not store pressure washer where it might freeze.
Tips for extending the life of your pressure washer
•Never operate unit without water.
•Pressure washers are not meant to pump hot water. Never connect to a hot water supply this will
significantly reduce life of the pump.
•Using non branded detergent may cause damage to pump components and O-rings. This also applies
to chemicals such as bleach shampoo and soap, etc.
•Never operate unit for more than one minute without spraying water. Resulting heat buildup will
damage the pump.
•Before adjusting nozzle’s pressure (high-to-low or low-to-high) release the trigger. Failure to do so will
reduce life of the O-rings in the lance.
Nozzle cleaning instruction
A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause a significant reduction of water coming out of the nozzle and
cause the unit to pulsate while spraying.
To clean out the nozzle:
Turn off and unplug unit.
Turn off water supply. Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by squeezing trigger 2-3 times.
Separate lance from gun.
Rotate nozzle to the narrow stream setting. This opens up the fan blades.
Using included tip cleaner, or an unfolded paper clip, insert wire into the nozzle hole and move back and forth
until debris is dislodged see below.
Remove additional debris by back-flushing water through the nozzle. To do this, place end of a garden hose
with water running to the end of the nozzle for 30-60 seconds.

Cleaning angle
When spraying water against a surface, maximum impact is generated when the water strikes the surface head
on. However, this type of impact tends to cause dirt particles to imbed in the surface, thereby preventing the
desired cleaning action. The optimum angle for spraying water against a cleaning surface is 45 degrees.
Spraying water against a surface at this angle provides for the most beneficial impact force combined with
efficient removal of debris from the surface see below.
