• Keep your place of work tidy.
• Ensure that the switch is turned off when connecting the
machine to the power supply.
• Wear the suitable work clothes.
• Check your machine to ensure that it is in good working
order. If it is not functioning properly, have it checked by
an RYOBI authorized distributor. Have all maintenance
and inspection work carried out only by RYOBI authorized
distributor.
• The water jet that emerges from the high pressure nozzle
produces a ‘kickback’ on the spray handle. Therefore,
make sure that you have a solid footing and that you have
a firm hold of the handle grip. In order to protect yourself
from possible flying objects (that are released due to the
high pressure).
• The high pressure jet can damage vehicle tyres and tyre
parts. Keep a distance of at least 0 cm from the object
being cleaned.
• If there is a power failure while you are using the machine,
be sure to switch off the machine for safety reasons.
• The electric pump always must be able to draw on a
sufficient supply of water. Dry operation causes severe
damage to the seals.
• Disconnect from the power supply before carrying out
user maintenance.
• Only use genuine spare parts from the manufacturer or
approved by the manufacturer.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
RYOBI authorized distributor in order to avoid a hazard.
• Never use the machine in an environment where there
could be a danger of explosion. If any doubt arises, please
contact RYOBI authorized distributor.
• It is not allowed to clean asbestos-containing surfaces
with high pressure.
• This machine must not be used at temperatures below
0℃.
• The electric supply connection (for example, connection
the RCD or fix wiring) shall be made by a qualified electri
-
cian and comply with IEC6064-1: Low-voltage electrical
installations.
Safety devices
Safety lock on spray handle (Fig.1)
The spray handle features safety lock button (1). When the
lock is activated, the spray handle cannot be operated.
Motor pump protection
The motor is equipped with a motor circuit breaker switch.
When the motor starts to run hot, it is cut out automatically
by this switch. Switch off the machine. Wait 5 ~ 10 minutes
before using the device again. Try to determine the cause of
the fault. If the problem repeats itself, please contact RYOBI
service centre.
Operating instructions
Purpose
The machine is designed to clean vehicles, machines, build-
ings, facades, etc. in the private sector.
Areas of application
• Never use the machine in potentially explosive areas
under any circumstances!
•
The operating temperature must be between 0℃ and +60
℃.
• The machine consists of an assembly with a pump, which
is encased in a shock absorbing housing. For an optimal
working position the machine comes with a lance and
a non-slip handle grip, whose shape and configuration
comply with the applicable regulations.
• Do not cover or modify the lance or the spray nozzles in
any way.
• The machine is designed to be used with cold or
The machine is designed to be used with cold or
lukewarm (max. 60℃); higher temperatures can damage
the pump.
• Do not use water that is dirty, gritty or contains any
Do not use water that is dirty, gritty or contains any
chemical products, as these could impair operation and
shorten the life of the machine.
Connection
1. Screw the spray handle hose (4) onto the water outlet pipe
and the spray handle (2) by turning it clockwise. (Fig. 2, )
Prior to operating the machine, please ensure that the
spray handle hose has been completely uncoiled.
Whilst the machine is in operation, the hose MUST NOT
loop.
2. Check that the filter(14) is mounted in the water inlet and
that it is not blocked up.(Fig.4)
3. The inlet filter must always be fitted in the water inlet to
filter out sand, limestone and other impurities, as they
will damage the pump valves.
CAUTION:
Failure to fit the filter will invalidate the
guarantee.
4. Screw the water connector (5) onto the water
inlet.(Fig.4)
5. Connect the water supply hose (10) (min. hose diameter
1mm) to the water tap and machine. Ask your local
plumber about this.(Fig.5
- 9)
6. Insert the lance () into the spray handle (2) and turn it
to lock it. (Fig.10)
Make sure that the spray handle is locked in the OFF
position by pulling out the locking button and locating it
on the tab in the handle grip.
7. Fit the holder(8) into the hook (15).
Spray handle (2) and variable nozzle lance
(
)
can be
stored. (Fig.11)
8. Fit the cord hook (9) into the hook (16).
Power cord can be hung. (Fig.12)
9. Connect the machine to power supplies.
Starting up
1. Open the water inlet. Press the safety lock button (1)
on the spray handle and pull back the trigger lever in
order to bleed the trapped air out of the device.
2. Turn on the switch on the device. (Fig.1)
. To temporarily turn off, release the trigger lever, at which
point the device goes to standby. As soon as you press
the trigger lever again, the machine restarts.
4. To completely turn off the machine, turn off the switch
on the device.
5. The shape of the water jet can be changed from
concentrated to flat jet by turning the nozzle.
Using the lance with rotating nozzle is particularly
effective in cases of very stubborn dirt. (Fig.14)
