Unpacking

This packaging contains sharp objects. Take care when unpacking. This machine could require

two persons to lift, assemble and move. Remove the machine, together with the accessories

supplied, from the packaging. Do not throw the packaging away, keep it safe throughout the

guarantee period then recycle if possible, otherwise dispose of it by the proper means. Do not

let children play with empty plastic bags due to the risk of suffocation.

Operation

Adjusting Fan Pattern

The angle of spray coming out of the lance may

be adjusted by rotating the nozzle. This will vary

the spray pattern from approximately a 0° narrow

high impact stream to a 60° wide fan spray (see

figure 1).

The narrow high impact spray (see figure 2)

must be used cautiously, as it may damage

some surfaces.

Large surface areas can be cleaned more

quickly using a wide fan pattern (see figure 3).

Nozzle Cleaning

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 unit.

−Turn off water supply. Relieve any pressure

trapped in the hose by squeezing trigger 2-3

times.

−Separate lance from gun.

−Rotate nozzle to the narrow stream setting.

This opens up the fan blades.

−Insert tip cleaner into the nozzle hole and move back and forth until debris is dislodged (see

Figure 4).

−Remove additional debris by back-flushing water through the nozzle. To do this, place end of

a garden hose (with water running) to end of nozzle for 30-60 seconds.

Angle To Cleaning Surface

The optimum angle for spraying water against a

cleaning surface is 45 degrees.

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 damage. To avoid possible damage follow these

three steps:

1. Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern.

2. Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet from and 45 degrees to the cleaning surface, and

trigger the gun.

3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the cleaning surface until

optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface.

CAUTION: Car paintwork / bodywork and other surfaces can be damaged by the high pressure

jet, in particular, caution should be taken with new, damaged or unsecured paint. Damage is

not covered by the warranty.

Detergents

Use specialist pressure washer detergents – household detergents may be thicker and will clog

the detergent injection system.

1. Fill detergent bottle with pressure washer

detergent.

2. Remove front section of Vario lance from

Spray gun.

3. Attach Detergent bottle to lance (see figure 6).

4. Operate pressure washer as normal to dispense foam - ensure you follow detergent

manufacturers usage instructions.

5. Flush Detergent bottle with clean water after each use.

1. Be sure all detergent is flushed from the system.

2. Turn off the pressure washer at on/off switch on unit.

3. Turn off the water supply.

4. After the motor and water supply are turned off, trigger the gun to depressurize system.

CAUTION: NEVER turn water supply off before turning motor off. Serious damage could occur

to the pump and/or motor.

WARNING! NEVER disconnect the high-pressure discharge hose from machine while system

is pressurized. To depressurize, turn motor off, turn water supply off and squeeze gun trigger

2-3 times.

5. After each use, wipe all surfaces of the pressure washer with a clean, damp cloth.
