Operation
m
IMPORTANT!
This pressure washer is equipped with
a micro-switch sensitive to water flow. This Total Stop System
(TSS) senses water flow in the pump. When the trigger is
released, water stops flowing through the pump. The TSS then
automatically turns the motor off to protect the pump from
overheating, thus saving energy and prolonging pump life.
1. Position the washer as CLOSE as possible to the water
supply.
2. The washer must be used on a secure and stable surface
in a standing, upright position (Fig. 13).
3. Turn the water supply tap on completely.
4. Unlock the safety lock, then press the trigger for a few
seconds until the water flow is steady. Operating the
pressure washer in this manner will allow air to escape
and discharge residual pressure in the hose (Fig. 14).
5. Keeping the trigger pressed, turn the switch to the ON (I)
position to start the pressure washer.
6. When re-starting the motor, always keep the trigger
pressed.
NOTE: The motor only runs when the trigger is depressed
and shuts off when the trigger is released.

WARNING!
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if
subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
pets, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.
1. The washer is equipped with an adjustable nozzle.
2. The water pressure can be adjusted from low pressure (–)
to high pressure (+) by turning the pressure adjustment
knob. The nozzle tip can be adjusted from pencil spray
(wide open tip) to fan spray (narrow tip) by turning the
nozzle tip adjustment knob (Fig. 15).

WARNING!
Do not adjust the nozzle while the trigger
is squeezed. Failure to do so could result in damage.
