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 high pressure washer is suitable for washing with cold water only. The water that you use for the pressure washer must not be dirty, sandy or contain any corrosive chemical products.

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 applicator bottle, 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.

NEVER point the water jet at electric wiring, at the pump unit, or at any person or animal.

AUTOMATIC STOP SYSTEM

PLEASE NOTE: This pressure washer is equipped with the Automatic Stop System, which stops the unit during the bypass stage. To start the pressure washer, it is therefore necessary to set the On/Off switch to the “On” position; after that press the trigger: the Automatic Stop System will start the machine and will stop it automatically when the trigger is released. It is advisable to put on the safety lock of the trigger whenever the machine is stopped in order to avoid unintentional starting. Any automatic start of the machine without pressing the trigger is attributable to air bubbles in the water or other similar phenomena which do not imply the existence of any defects in the machine. Do NOT leave the appliance unattended during the standby for more than 5 minutes. Contrarily, for the safety of the appliance it is necessary to re- turn the On/Off switch to the “Off” position. Please check that the coupling of the high pressure hose with the appliance and the trigger gun supplied as standard equipment is made correctly, that is to say without any water leak.

1.While facing the front side of the unit attach the high pressure hose to the high pressure output connector on the right side of the unit. Twist on tight to avoid leakage. (Fig. 3)

To attach the lance to the trigger gun, hold the trigger gun in your left hand insert the lance and push it in all the way into the connector on the trigger gun and turn it clockwise 60° until it locks in place. To remove the lance, push down on the attachment and turn counter-clockwise 60° and then pull out. Make sure that the lance is securely locked in place before use.

Garden Hose Connection

Once the high pressure hose is attached to the pressure washer, you can connect the garden hose to the unit. Before attaching the garden hose coupling to the unit, make sure that the water intake filter is inside the water intake connector on the unit.

4.After all the connections have been made and BEFORE you plug the pressure washer into an electrical outlet, open the water supply and press on the trigger switch in order to remove any air which may be in the hose or pump. Continue to press on the trigger switch until you get a constant flow of water coming out of the trigger gun. Allow water to flow for 30 seconds.

5.Once this is accomplished, stop pressing the trigger switch. Engage the safety lock on the trigger
