Read the instructions fully before using the product for the first time. Failure to follow the
instructions may result in fire, electric shock and or serious injury.
We recommend the user wears safety equipment during use.
We recommend the product be used with a RCD (Residual Current Device).
Please Retain These Instructions For Future Use And Referral
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
•
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
When operating the unit in high pressure mode the lance may cause kickback. Therefore please ensure that
•
you hold the spray gun firmly. When using the unit we recommend that other people are at least 10m away
from the working area.
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet MUST NOT be directed at yourself, other people,
•
animals, live electrical equipment or the pressure washer itself. The trigger gun safety lock prevents the trigger
from accidentally being engaged. This safety feature does not lock trigger in the ‘on’ position.
Do not use the pressure washer if the supply cord or other important parts are damaged (e.g. high pressure
•
lance or hoses). Never carry your pressure washer by the cord.
Do not disconnect the high-pressure hose whilst the system is under pressure. This system is capable of
•
producing 1600PSI. To avoid rupture and injury, do not operate this pump with components rated less than
1600PSI working pressure (including but not limited to spray guns, hose and hose connections.)
Do not use acids or flammable liquids in the machine.
•
When using a pressure washer always ensure that your water connection is protected by a backflow preventer
•
(as per water byelaws). This will avoid possible contamination of your water supply. Use cold water feed only.
Protect the unit against freezing, avoid storing the machine where it may be susceptible to frost.
•
Prior to starting the pressure washer in cold weather, be sure ice has not formed in any part of the equipment.
•
The unit must continuously run with water. Dry running will cause serious damage to the seals.
•
IMPORTANT:
The pressure washer is equipped with an auto stop device. When the trigger is released it will
open the power circuit to the motor and cause the pressure washer motor to stop. The motor will resume when
the trigger is pulled. The pressure washer is also equipped with a main power ON/OFF switch located on the
unit. It should always be moved to OFF position when the pressure washer is not being used.
