ENGLISH(Original Instructions)
■
If the filter is dirty, clean it before connecting the
garden hose to the machine.
CAUTION:
When connecting the appliance to the water
supply mains (not public drinking water supply
mains), please observe the local regulations of
local boards or local water supplier.
To ensure that there is no feedback of
contaminant into the water supply, the
appliance must not be connected directly to the
public drinking water supply mains.
If the appliance is connected to potable water
mains, backflow prevention devices should be
incorporated in or fixed to the water supply
system. The installation should be accepted by
local boards or water supplier and should be
conducted by professional technical personnel.
The backflow prevention devices should be
appropriate to fluid categories and comply
with the requirement to avoid back siphonage
according to EN 60335-2-79/A2: 2007.
To connect the garden hose to the pressure washer:
■
Uncoil the garden hose.
NOTE:
There must be a minimum of 3 metres of
unrestricted garden hose between the pressure washer
intake and the garden tap.
■
With the garden tap turned completely off, attach
the end of the garden hose to the coupler on the
pressure washer water intake. Tighten by hand,
water that has flown through backflow preventers is
considered to be non-potable.
HOW TO DRAW WATER FROM A WATER TANK,
BUCKET, POND, ETC.
■
To draw water from a water tank, bucket, pond,
etc. you must first get a suction hose kit, which
is made up of a compatible hose and water filter.
Ryobi recommends the Expand-it™ Suction Hose
Kit.
■
Connect the suction hose to the water inlet on the
pressure cleaner and drop the other end into a water
tank, bucket, pond, etc. (Fig.14)
■
Ensure your water container is full of water (Fig.15)
■
Connect the power cord to an electricity source &
turn on at power point. Make sure the high pressure
nozzle is not connected & turn the unit on at the on/
off switch. Press the trigger on the gun-the unit is
ready for use once there is a constant water stream.

■
Connect the high pressure nozzle & press the hand
trigger to begin cleaning. (Fig.17)
