Correctly using the device
1. The machine must be set upright on a level, stable surface.
2. The spray lance is affected by a thrust during operation – therefore, always hold it firmly with both hands.
IMPORTANT:
Point the nozzle at the ground.
3. Activate the trigger of the spray handle.
4. Always adjust the distance and thus the pressure of the nozzle to the surface which is to
be cleaned. NOTE: The spray angle can be adjusted at the nozzle.
NOTE:
Do not cover the machine during operation. If the machine is left or not used,
it must be switched off on the start.
Stop switch (press the ON/OFF switch immediately).
It is normal for the pump to leak a little; this is necessary to avoid damage to the pump when it is at a standstill.
End of operation
1. Press the ON/OFF switch
2. Disconnect the plug from the socket.
3. Shut off the water supply and activate the spray handle to relieve the machine of pressure.
Maintenance and storage
WARNING!
Always disconnect the plug form the socket prior to maintenance or cleaning.
To ensure a long and problem free working life, please take the following advice:
• Wash off water hose, high pressure hose, spray lance and accessories before mounting.
• Clean the connectors of dust and sand.
• Rinse the detergent spraying attachment after use.
Any repair should always be made by RYOBI authorized distributor with original spare parts.
Cleaning of lance nozzle
A clogging up in the nozzle causes a pump pressure which is too high. This is why cleaning is required immediately.
1. Stop the machine and disconnect the nozzle.
2. Clean the nozzle.
IMPORTANT:
The cleaning tool should only be used when the spray lance is detached!
3. Flush the spray lance backwards with water.
The inlet filter must always be fitted inside the water inlet pipe to filter out sand, limestone and other impurities, as they will
damage the pump valves.
Checking the water intake filter
Clean the water inlet filters regularly once a month or more frequently in accordance to use. Periodically check the filter in
order to prevent clogging, which could jeopardize operation of the pump. To do this, unscrew the connection coupling for the
water inlet hose from the device and clean the exposed inlet sieve by placing it under running water.
CAUTION:
Failure to fit the filter will invalidate the guarantee.
Cleaning of machine vents
The machine should be kept clean so as to let cooling air pass freely through air vents.
Storage
Pump, hose and accessories should always be emptied of water prior to storing as follows:
1. Stop the machine (press the ON/OFF switch and detach water hose and accessory).
2. Restart the machine and activate the trigger. Let the machine run until no moving water runs through the spray handle.
3. Stop the machine, unplug and detach high pressure hose.
4. Long periods of nonuse: If the machine is going to be stored for longer periods of time (i.e. over three months) in a
room where frost could develop, it is recommended that the machine be filled with an antifreeze solution (similar to the
antifreeze solutions used for vehicles).
5. When the device is not used for an extended period of time, lime deposits begin to form in the motor pump, which in turn
can lead to starting difficulties.
NEVER START UP A FROZEN MACHINE.
Frost damages are not covered by the guarantee!
Environmental protection
Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, hoses and packaging should be sorted,
taken to the local recycling centre and disposed of in an environmentally safe way.
