Low pressure nozzle (black)
This nozzle is used to apply detergent and cleaning
products. It has the less powerful jet.
Before operating the petrol high pressure washer on
floors, test it first on a small area. Some floors are
made of low-quality materials and high pressure can
damage the surface. If necessary, adjust the pressure by
changing the nozzles or reducing the engine speed.
While using the pressure washer, certain precautions and
procedures should be considered in order to avoid
accidents:
▪
Place the high-pressure washer away from the cleaning
area;
▪
Never operate the high-pressure washer by pressing and
releasing the gun trigger repeatedly and quickly. This
may result in components failure and under pression
couplings failure;
▪
Do run the high-pressure washer at no load (without
water) as it will cause damage to the pump seals;
▪
Do not let the high-pressure washer run for more than
30 seconds without pressing the gun trigger. The pump
could be damaged;
▪
To prevent accidental discharge of high-pressure water,
the gun trigger safety lock should be engaged whenever
the pressure washer is not in use;
▪
When the high-pressure washer is under pressure and
the trigger is engaged, a gun recoil force/kickback can
occur due to the force of the water jet. Adopt a stable
and firm posture. Hold the gun firmly with both hands in
order to prevent accidents;
▪
Never point the water jet towards people, animals, other
appliances, electrical installations or the high-pressure
washer itself;
▪
Do not place your hand, fingers or body in front of the
nozzle. The jet may hurt you;
▪
Do not use the pressure washer to pump fuel or other
flammable liquids;
▪
Always wear safety goggles and individual protective
equipment such as dust mask, hearing protection,
closed-toe shoes;
▪
This appliance is prepared to run with clean and cold
water, the operating temperature is b5°C and
+50°C. The operating pressure of the inlet water must be
less than 7 bar;
▪
Use high-pressure hoses, couplings and connectors
according to technical d
ata and manufacturer’s
recommendations. These accessories are important to
ensure safety issues;
▪
Cleaning areas should have the necessary slope and
drainage to reduce the possibility of falling;
▪
Prior to starting the pressure washer in cold weather, be
sure ice has not formed in any part of the equipment.
1. Open the water supply tap;
2. Remove all air inside the pump and hoses. Press the gun
trigger until water comes out of the gun (17);
3. Attach the lance (18) to the gun;
4. Set the fuel lever (2 0) to the “ON” position;
5. If the engine is cold, move the choke lever (21) to the
left. If the engine is warm, leave the choke lever on the
right side;
6. Move the throttle control lever (22) from right to left if
you want to increase engine speed;
7. Set the “ON/OFF switch” (23), to the “ON” position;
8. Pull the recoil starter (6) slowly until you feel some
resistance, then pull hard until the engine starts
running;
9. Gradually, move the choke lever to the right to allow air
intake to the engine.
Do not set the choke lever to CLOSE position if the
engine is warm or the air temperature is high.
