Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs
because the impact force of the
water exceeds the durability of the
surface. You can vary the impact
force by controlling:
‧
∙
the nozzle’s fan pattern
‧
∙
the nozzle’s angle to the clean-
ing surface
‧
∙
and the nozzle’s distance from
the cleaning surface
Never use a narrow high impact
stream or a turbo nozzle on a sur-
face that is susceptible to damage.

The surest way to avoid damaging
surfaces is to follow these steps.
1. Before triggering the gun, ad-
just the nozzle to a wide fan
pattern.
2. Place the nozzle approximately
4 - 5 feet away from the cleaning
surface. Then hold the nozzle at
a 45º degree angle to the clean-
ing surface and then trigger the
gun to start spraying.
3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle
and the distance to the cleaning
surface until optimum cleaning
efficiency is achieved.
Safety:
‧
∙
Always turn the “ON/OFF” switch
to “OFF” then trigger gun to re-
lease hose pressure before un-
plugging the power cord.
‧
∙
Risk of equipment damage. Al-
ways make sure the “ON/OFF”
switch on the unit is “OFF” and
unit is unplugged prior to stor-
age.
‧
∙
Risk of Injection. Unit will
start spraying when trigger is
squeezed if “ON/OFF” switch is
in “ON” position. Always point
the gun in a safe direction be-
fore you start spraying.
‧
∙
Occasionally the motor may run
for a short time to bring fresh,
cool water into the pump even
if the trigger is released. This is
part of normal operation and
will not damage the unit.
How to’s:
The cleaning power of detergents
comes from applying them to a sur-
face and giving the chemicals time
to break down the dirt and grime.
‧‧
∙
Rinse the filter and the adapter
and remount on the inlet pump.
CHECK AND
CLEAN THE
FILTER AFTER
EVERY USE
Washing tyres with a high pres-
sure washer can cause damage to
the tyre and be dangerous. Never
direct high pressure jets directly at
the tyre.
Always use the pressure washer at
the lowest pressure setting when
cleaning around the wheels and
tyres.
Never use the “Turbo Lance” for
washing any part of the vehicle.
