4.5Start the machine (when connected to open con- tainers (suction mode))
The washer can take in water from a rain water tank as an example. The hose for the wa- ter supply must not be too long, approx. 5 m.
Make sure that the water tank is not placed on a lower level than the machine.
1.Place the other end of the water hose in the water tank. Use an external fi lter if the water contains impurities.
2.Press the start/stop switch "I".
3.Activate the trigger of the spray gun and let the water run, until the air has escaped from the water hose and the pump.
4.Mount spray lance and nozzle.

5Fields of application and working methods
5.1 General | Effi cient high presure cleaning is achieved by following a few guide- |
| lines, combined with your own personal experience of specifi c |
| cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly cho- |
| sen, can increase the effi ciency of your pressure washer. Here is |
| some basic information about cleaning. |
5.1.1Detergent and foam Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higher concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for several minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface be- ing cleaned. Note: It is important that the detergents do not dry up. Otherwise the surfac that has to be cleaned can be damaged.
5.1.2 Mechanical effect | In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical |
| effect may be required. Special wash brushes offer this supplemen- |
| tary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car washing). |
