OPERA

TING INSTRUC

TIONS

ATTENTION

Dry running of more than 1 minute leads to damage of the high-pressure pump. If the appliance 
does not build up pressure within 1 minute, switch the appliance off and proceed in accordance 
with the instructions in the “Troubleshooting” section of the instruction manual

HIGH PRESSURE OPERATION

 CAUTION

Keep a distance of at least 30 cm when using the jet for cleaning painted surfaces to avoid 
damage.

 CAUTION

Make sure the power switch is set to “OFF” before inserting the plug into a properly installed 
socket. 

ATTENTION

• The washer must be used on a secure and stable surface
1.  Connect the product to power and water supply as described. 

i. Open the water supply 
ii. Hold the high-pressure gun with both hands 
iii. Direct the nozzle of the chosen accessory away from you towards the surface to be 
cleaned 
iv. Unlock the trigger and press it until a constant amount of water flows through the nozzle, 
to allow air trapped in the hose to escape 
v. Release the trigger 
vi. Turn the power switch from “OFF” to “ON” 
vii.  Hold the spray gun with both hands. Direct the water jet to the object to be cleaned 
and squeeze the trigger 
viii.  Release the lever of the high-pressure gun; the device will switch off again and stop the 
water jet. High pressure remains in the system

ATTENTION 

i. If you hear the motor running while when the trigger is not being squeezed, this is normal. 
The pump is priming itself so it is ready to operate when the trigger is squeezed.
ii. Turn off the power washer if not being used after five minutes.
iii. Do not pull/release the trigger rapidly multiple times as this will cause the Total Start Stop 
system (TSS) to malfunction and the unit will not turn on. Pull trigger methodically.

WARNING! Beware of kickback when pressing the trigger!
