Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all

its features and functions

• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If

any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool

Assembly

• Do not connect the pressure washer to the water or electrical supply until

fully assembled and ready for use

• Remove all packaging materials from the product

Lance

• Assemble Lance (5) by connecting Lance Extension (8). Connect Lance

Extension Bayonet Fitting (7) to Lance Bayonet Socket (9) by inserting,
rotating and then releasing so the bayonet fitting is locked in the groove
of the bayonet socket

Notes:

• If using the Lance Detergent Dispenser (15) fit to the Lance Bayonet

Socket (9) instead of the Lance Extension (8)

• If the Lance comes in two parts with the Lance (5) and tube with the

Lance Bayonet Socket (9) separate simply connect together with the
bayonet fittings

• Do not attempt to fit the Lance Extension (8) or Lance Detergent

Dispenser (15) directly into the bayonet fitting on the lance handle. The
fittings are a different size

High pressure hose

1. Remove the plastic cap from the Lance Hose Connector (6) if fitted
2. Carefully cut and remove cable ties around the hose (making sure not

to damage the hose surface), then uncoil hose

3. Attach Hose Lance Connector (11) to the Lance Hose Connector (6).

Screw the fittings together until tight

4. Remove the plastic cap from the High Pressure Hose Socket (17)
5. Attach the High Pressure Hose Connector (14) to High Pressure Hose

Socket (17). Screw the fittings together until tight

Warning:

If the high pressure hose is damaged it can burst and cause

injury. A damaged hose must be replaced, not repaired. Inspect regularly
and prevent the hose from coming into contact with sharp objects or rough
surfaces

Connecting to water supply

Warning:

When connecting a pressure washer to a normal house water

supply it is important a non-return valve is fitted to the hose (also called
a backflow preventer) to ensure the pressure washer cannot contaminate
your water supply if there is a backflow.

1. Remove the plastic cap from the Water Inlet Connector (24)
2. Check the filter inside the water inlet connector is clear of debris or

any other material. Over time debris may build up and the filter will
need to be checked regularly and any debris build-up removed

3. Fit the Quick Connector (18) to the Water Inlet Connector (24) and

tighten by hand only

4. Connect a hose from the water supply to the fitted quick connector

Notes:

The specification lists suitable water inlet pressures. A typical normal UK
household water supply can range from 1-8 Bar pressure but 2-5 Bar is
more typical. Do not exceed the maximum water pressure stated in the
specification.

NOTE:

If you do not know or are unable to measure the water pressure,

keep the pressure low to prevent damage to the pressure washer. Aim
to set the pressure at mid-point between the lowest and highest water
pressure accepted by the pressure washer. If preferred, a third party water
pressure gauge is available that connects directly to the tap. This will allow
the water pressure to be set more accurately.
• Do not connect to a hot water supply. This will prevent the pump from

cooling and may damage the seals over time

• It is important that a good water connection is maintained while

operating a pressure washer, as the pump will be damaged if run without
water. Make sure the connections are secure before turning on the
pressure washer

Before Use

• Always check that all parts and attachments are secure, and that hoses

are not kinked or obstructed

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Use of this

machine requires safety goggles and waterproof clothing

• Always use an RCD when connecting a pressure washer to the mains

with a tripping current no more than 30mA and a delay in operating of
no more than 30ms

• Make sure any mains connection points are out of reach of the pressure

washer water spray, or any water that may collect on the surface around
where you are spraying

• If you use a mains extension cable be cautious about where the cable

is joined to the pressure washer mains cable. This must not be exposed
to water. Ideally extension cables should not be used unless designed to
withstand water ingress with water tight connections

• Always use the pressure washer vertically
