WARNING!
ALWAYS TEST THE SPRAY JET ON A
SMALL INCONSPICUOUS AREA TO ENSURE THE
SETTINGS WON’T CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE
SPRAYED SURFACE.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE PRESSURE WASHERS
WHILE WORKING ON LADDERS. THE RECOIL FROM
OPERATING THE SPRAY GUN COULD UNBALANCE
YOU AND THROW YOU OFF THE LADDER.
Usage Tips
Pressure washers are designed to remove dirt and grime. They are
not designed to strip paint or kill mildew from surfaces.
1. Lay tarps around the house perimeter to protect plants from debris
and accidental spray.
2. Hold the spray jet at a 45°
angle and at a suitable
distance to the surface being
washed to prevent gouging
the surface. Do not hold the
spray jet straight on to the
surface as this drives dirt in
rather than washing it off.
3. Work small areas at a time
and use overlapping strokes
to prevent streaks.
WARNING!
WHEN CLEANING WALLS, DO NOT
SPRAY WINDOWS AS THE HIGH PRESSURE CAN
CRACK THEM.
4. Once finished with the machine, twist the on/off dial to the off
position, disconnect the power plug, shut the water supply
completely off and squeeze the spray gun trigger several times to
release any built up pressure and water in the system.
Washing Your Car
1. With the adjustable spray nozzle attached and on a medium to
wide spray setting, loosen and rinse off any dirt.
2. Change to the foam dispenser nozzle and coat your car in a layer
of foam. Allow the soap to sit for a few minutes (or as directed by
the manufacturer) for it to penetrate any dirt or grime.
Note:
Keep the car surface wet to prevent any discolouration or
damage from the detergent.
3. Swap back to the adjustable spray nozzle and rinse down your car
on the wide spray setting.
WARNING!
DURING USE OF HIGH PRESSURE
CLEANERS, AEROSOLS MAY BE FORMED.
INHALATION OF AEROSOLS CAN BE HAZARDOUS
TO HEALTH.
