9. WORKING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER – GETTING STARTED
a. CONNECT THE R1 PRESSURE HOSE TO THE MACHINE:
Before doing so purge the hose
of any impurities by allowing a stream of water from the tap to flow through it. This prevents the nozzle from
being blocked by dirt and compromising the functioning of the machine.
The tap where the water is drawn from must have an output at least equal to the pump’s output and at least
2 bar pressure. The maximum temperature to preserve the pump gaskets is 30°C
b. CONNECT THE HOSE TO THE GUN:
Attach the gun to the R1 hose tightening the nut with a
22mm wrench.
c. CONNECT THE LANCE EXTENSION TO THE GUN:
Screw on the silver lance extension.
d. SCREW THE NOZZLE ONTO THE GUN/LANCE EXTENSION:
do so after making sure
there are no impurities in the tubes and lance.
