Autostop function
The machine is designed to switch off the motor when the trigger 9 is released on the gun. This feature relieves high pressure from the system to achieve a longer lifetime and lower energy consumption. (A short squeaking noise can oc- cur and is completely normal.)
Stopping
Release trigger 9. Press the trigger safety lock 10. The power gun is now locked and can not be operated accidentally.
Press on/off switch 4.
Close water tap. Unplug the machine from the mains supply.
Press the trigger safety lock 10 to release the trigger 9. Fully press the trigger 9 until there is no more water pressure in the machine. Release trigger 9. Press the trigger safety lock 10.
Disconnect water supply hose from machine and water supply.
Self priming function
The machine can also operate with water from sources other than a water tap, e. g. ponds and water butts due to the self priming function. The use of an additional water filter (not supplied) is highly recommended for this kind of use.
Make sure the water source is situated no more than 1 m below the level of the machine.
Fill water supply hose (not supplied) with water before connecting it to the machine. Running the machine without water (running dry) will damage it.
Run machine without lance attached until there is a constant flow of water.
Turn off machine and connect lance.
Working Advice
