OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
Before connecting to the mains power supply
please ensure that the ON / OFF switch is in the
OFF position (fig 10) and the water supply is
connected and is turned on. Running the pressure
washer without any water supplied to it will
damage the pump
Instructions for use
a) With the unit fully assembled, ensure that the
unit is switched OFF and is connected to the
mains supply and the water supply. Pull the trigger
a few times to expel any air trapped in the system.
b) Ensuring that the trigger is released, switch
ON the pressure washer. The unit is now ready to
operate by pulling the trigger.
Note:
The motor only runs when the trigger is operated.
When the pressure washer is not in use, actuate
the gun lock for safety reasons (Fig 11). Switch the
unit OFF when not in use for extended periods of
time. Never operate the pressure washer without
the water supply connected and turned on.
Helpful Hints
Before starting cleaning remove any objects which
could create a hazard. Ensure that all doors and
windows are closed (where appropriate). The
adjustable lance allows you to use a variety of
spray patterns from a fan to a pencil jet (fig 12).
When using the pressure washer to clean decking,
patios, vehicles, etc., always start by using the
fan spray and begin spraying from a minimum
30cm away to avoid damaging the surface of the
material to be cleaned.
WARNING:
Do not adjust the nozzle while the
trigger is squeezed.
The pressure of the spray on the surface you
are cleaning increases as you move the nozzle
closer to the surface. We recommend that for most
cleaning applications a 45° spray angle should
be used to avoid damaging the surface being
cleaned. Spraying directly head-on tends to cause
dirt particles to embed in the surface. The turbo
lance is a fixed nozzle, which effectively increases
the area of the high pressure water jet and
decreases the time required to clean larger
areas like patios. The turbo nozzle provides a
circular water pattern as it sprays high-pressure
water. The spray pattern
on this nozzle is not adjustable. The circular spray
action does heavy cleaning in less time.
