Suitable Use of Your Pressure Washer

This high pressure washer is suitable for non-professional use. The working temperature must range between 40°F and 120 °F. The machine is supplied with a trigger gun, equipped with a trigger handle to offer a comfortable working position.

The pressure washer may be used to wash shutters, doors, tiles, cars, decks, campers, etc., where high water pressure is necessary to remove dirt.

With the detergent tank, the pressure washer can be used to apply a thick coating of aerated detergent to the areas being cleaned .

When using the pressure washer we recommend the use of personal safety items to reduce the risk of accidental injury.
