HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING SURFACES
Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the impact force of the water exceeds the durability of the
surface. Never use a narrow high impact stream or a turbo/ rotary nozzle on a surface that is susceptible
to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high impact stream or turbo nozzle as this may cause
breakage.
The surest way to avoid damaging surfaces is to follow these steps:
1. Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern.
2. Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet cleaning surface and begin spraying.
3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning
efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface.
TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR
PRESSURE WASHER
Never operate the unit without water.
1.
This pressure washer is not designed to pump hot water. Never connect it to the hot water supply –
2.
this will significantly reduce the life of the pump.
WARNING
Never operate the unit for more than one (1) minute without spraying water. Otherwise, the resulting
3.
heat build up will damage the pump.
Winter Storage:
4.
For storage during the winter months we recommend the use of a solution of 50/50 mix of antifreeze
and water. This will keep the pump from freezing and getting damaged and will protect the internal
components.
Method: You will need a length of garden hose
and a funnel. Attach the garden hose to the
inlet and pour the antifreeze into the unit via the funnel.
Switch the unit on for a few seconds to allow the solution to flow through the system.
Disconnect your pressure washer from the mains power, then pack away in your storage area.
WARNING:
Before reusing completely flush the unit out with plain water. Anti-freeze can damage
paintwork so you must ensure there is no antifreeze left in the system before using it again.
NOZZLE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause a significant reduction of water coming out of the nozzle
and cause the unit to pulsate while spraying. To clean out the nozzle:
• Turn off and unplug the unit.
• Turn off the water supply and relieve any pressure
within the unit by squeezing the trigger 2-3 times
• Separate the lance from the gun.
• Rotate the nozzle to the narrow stream setting.
This opens up the fan blades.
• Using the cleaning needle (7) or an unfolded
paper clip, insert the needle into the nozzle hole
and move it back and forth until the debris is
dislodged.
