WARNING: If the area to be cleaned is a
painted surface that is peeling or
chipping, use extreme caution as the
pressure washer may remove the loose
paint from the surface. Take care when
using the high-pressure setting as high-
pressure can potentially damage finish
or paintwork (e.g. car, van motorcycle
etc...) It is not recommended to use the
pressure washer inside the engine bay.
Use of Detergent
This pressure washer operates at two
pressures. When applying detergent, you
must be operating at low pressure. The
high pressure is used for cleaning and
rinsing.
Biodegradable detergents are specifically
formulated to protect the environment and
your pressure washer. These detergents will
not clog the filter and will protect the internal
parts of the pressure washer for a longer life.
• Open the cover on the detergent container
by twisting it off.(Dia 10)
CAUTION: Make sure the gun safety
lock (Dia 8) is engaged so the trigger
cannot be squeezed while the tip of the
adjustable spray is being converted to
detergent dispensing mode.
WARNING: Never use products with
bleach or chlorine or any other corrosive
materials, including liquids containing
solvents (I.e. Gas, oils etc),
tri-sodiumphosphate products, ammonia,
or acid-based cleaners. These chemicals
will harm the unit and cause damage to
the surface being cleaned. Always read
the label.

is not running.
All the accessories are fitted by pushing
firmly into the trigger gun and turning.

Shutting down and cleaning up
Turn the switch to OFF position and disconnect from mains supply. Turn off the water supply.
Press trigger to release the water pressure, and disconnect the garden hose from the water inlet
on the unit. For storage before winter we recommend using antifreeze. Prepare the pressure
washer for storage by running a 50/50 mix of water and anti-freeze into the unit, this will keep the
internal parts lubricated, protect from rust, and prevents the pump from freezing.
Connect a short piece of garden hose (2-3m long) to the water inlet fitting of the pump. Use a
funnel to pour the anti-freeze solution down the hose. Start the machine and let it draw the
solution through the pump. This can take up to 2 minutes. Shut the pressure washer down when
the solution begins to spray from the pump outlet. Disconnect the high-pressure hose from the
pump, disassemble the detergent nozzle, and rinse thoroughly. Store the unit and accessories in
a room above 0
o
C. The machine is now ready for storage. Simply flush it out with clean water
when you are ready to begin using it in spring.
WARNING: After the winter, ensure the complete system is washed out thoroughly before
use. Anti-freeze will damage paintwork and therefore you must ensure that no antifreeze is
left in the system before cleaning use. If you prefer, you can still protect your pressure
washer from winter-damage by; disconnect all water connections. Turn on the machine for
a few seconds, until the remaining water in the pump exits. Turn off immediately. Store the
machine and accessories in a room that does not reach freezing temperatures.
Cleaning the nozzle
If the flow of water decreases, stops or fluctuates up & down the nozzle may need to be cleaned.
1.Make sure that the appliance is switched off and that the mains water tap has been closed.
2.Remove the lance from the trigger gun and carefully using the needle (component 12) to
remove the dirt or trapped debris, Rinse through from the outside with clean water.
Maintenance
Your pressure washer requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user
serviceable parts. Never use chemical cleaners to clean your unit. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Always store your unit in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
Note:
We recommend that a branded detergent is used in your pressure washer. Please note that there are
different detergents available for different tasks, such as one for cleaning cars, one for cleaning patios and
drive ways etc...
