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.

CAUTION

When using your pressure washer, always have it in the horizontal position as shown below. NEVER have it in the upright position.

CORRECT WRONG

Attaching High Pressure Hose to Pressure Washer

Once the pressure washer is assembled, you are ready to use the unit.

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.

1.Attach the male adapter (supplied) to the water intake connector on the left hand side of the unit. (Fig. 5)

2.Attach the female hose coupling to the garden hose. (Fig. 5)

3.Connect the female hose coupling to the male adapter making

sure that it is tightly

secured in place. (Fig. 5)

 

4. After all the connections have been

made and BEFORE you plug the

Using the High Pressure Lance

The high pressure lance may be used alone or with the detergent applicator bottle.

Add detergent to the bottle and then attach the detergent applicator bottle to the high pressure lance, just push it on the end of the high pressure lance. (Fig. 7 & 8) To remove the detergent applicator bottle, lift the tab on the top of the connector and pull off.

Using the Sandblasting Kit

To use the sandblast attachment, connect the sandblasting 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. Once the sandblasting lance is attached, place the sandblasting probe into the container of sand. (Fig. 9) Make sure that when using the sandblasting lance, the delivery hose is facing up as in the illustration below. If the hose is facing downward, water will enter the tool, wetting the sand and clogging the sandblasting lance. If this happens, you must let the sand and the sandblasting lance dry thoroughly before using again. To remove the sandblasting 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.

To begin sandblasting, disengage handgrip safety and pull trigger as you would for pressure washing with water. It is recommended that a trial work-piece be used in order to familiarize the user with the operation and effectiveness of the sandblast attachment.

Note: Use either clean, dry sand or glass bead no larger than grit 10 .

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)

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.

pressing the trigger switch. Engage

the safety lock on the trigger.

6. Ensure that the "On/Off" switch, at

the rear of the unit, is on the "Off"

position, then plug the unit into an

electrical outlet and turn the unit to

the "On" position.

7. Now you are ready to use the

pressure washer. Disengage the

safety lock and depress the trigger on

the trigger gun.

CAUTION

Do NOT use the sandblasting kit on vinyl siding or soft materials. Do NOT use on wood decks. Sandblasting will damage these surfaces.

DANGER
