restricted or supply is too low pressure, nozzle is damaged, or Blocked
Check all the above.

fill a 10 litre bucket in 1 minute.

Plug fitting

Note: If a moulded plug is fitted and has to be removed take great care in disposing of the plug
and severed cable, it must be destroyed to prevent engaging into a socket. If the supply cord is
damaged it must be replaced by a service agent or similarly qualified person if order to avoid
hazard. Your pressure washer is supplied with a fitted plug, however if you should need to fit a
new plug follow the instruction below. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
