GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow

all instructions listed below may result in electric

shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury. The term “power

tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your

mains operated (corded) power tool or battery oper-

ated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE These Instructions

1) WORK AREA

A) Keep work area clean and well lit.

CLUTTERED and dark areas invite accidents.

B) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-

mospheres, such as in the presence of ammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

C) Keep children and bystanders away while op-

erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

A) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodi-

ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of

electric shock.

B) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re-

frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

C) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-

ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

D) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of elec-

tric shock.

E) When operating a power tool outdoors, use

an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use

of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

A) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under the

inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power tools may result

in serious personal injury.

B) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

C) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is

in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power

tools with your nger on the switch or plugging in

power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

D) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at-

tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result

in personal injury.

E) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

F) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can

be caught in moving parts.

G) If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of

these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

A) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. he correct power tool

will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it

was designed.

B) Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must

be repaired.

C) Disconnect the plug from the power source

before making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

D) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-

dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

E) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition

that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before use. Many acci-

dents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

G) Use the power tool, accessories and tool

bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in

the manner intended for the particular type of power

tool, taking into account the working conditions and

the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

A) Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

ASSEMBLY

Note: Before carrying out any assembly or disas-

sembly of the unit please ensure that the unit is not

connected to the electrical supply.

FITTING THE LANCE

Before using the washer ﬁt the lance to the gun.

Grip the end of the gun and screw the lance

on to the gun ensuring it is tight, Fig 1. Do not over

tighten as this could damage both the connectors.

HOSE CONNECTIONS

Connect the high pressure hose connector to the con-

nector on the underside of the gun assembly ensuring

that it is tight, Fig 2. Do not over tighten as this could

damage both the connectors.

Note: During normal operation the pressure washer

pump motor will only start when the trigger is

squeezed and will stop when the trigger is released.

HIGH PRESSURE LANCE SAFETY LOCK

In order to prevent accidental operation of the high

pressure lance, the gun is ﬁtted with a safety lock. To

disable the safety lock, push the safety lock button to

the right, Fig 7. To enable the safety lock, release the

trigger and push the button to the left.

Check that the On/Off switch is in the OFF (0) position,

Fig 3.

The water inlet is ﬁtted with a particle ﬁlter and if

not ﬁtted must be ﬁtted prior to use. Fig 4. This

ﬁlter must not be removed except for examination

and cleaning. The inlet water ﬁlter should ideally be

checked and if required cleaned before each use.

Screw the high pressure hose to the high pressure

water outlet, Fig 6. Do not use water which exceeds

60°C.

PRIME THE PRESSURE WASHER

Turn on the water supply and squeeze the gun trigger

until the water ﬂows in a steady stream through the

lance.

Screw the male, quick connector onto the pressure

washer water supply inlet, Fig 5. Attach a hose pipe

with a female quick release connector (not supplied) to

the male quick connector on the power washer.

OPERATION

CAUTION!

Before connecting to the mains power supply please

ensure that the ON / OFF switch is in the OFF posi-

tion and the water supply is connected and is turned

on. Running the pressure washer without any water

supplied to it will damage the pump and VOID your

warranty.

SWITCHING ON

Connect the pressure washer mains lead to the mains

electricity supply via a residual current device (RCD)

(not supplied). Start the power washer by turning the

On/Off switch to the ON (I) position, Fig 7.

FIg 6

Note: before using the pressure washer to clean patio

paving slabs it is advisable to test a small area ﬁrst,

some paving slabs are manufactured from inferior ma-

terials and the use of a pressure washer could damage

the surface.

HELPFUL HINTS

Before starting cleaning remove any objects which

could cause a hazard. Ensure that all doors and win-

dows are closed (where appropriate).

The adjustable lance allows you to use a variety of

spray patterns from a fan to a pencil jet. When using

the pressure washer to clean decking, patios, vehicles,

etc., always start by using the fan spray and begin

spraying from a minimum 30cm away to avoid dam-

aging the surface of the material to be cleaned. The

pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning

increases as you move the nozzle closer to the surface.

We recommend that for most cleaning applications a

45° spray angle should be used to avoid damaging the

surface being cleaned. Spraying directly “head-on”

tends to cause dirt particles to embed in the surface.

WARNING! Do not adjust the nozzle while the

trigger is squeezed.

NOZZLE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause a

signiﬁcant reduction of water coming out of the noz-

zle and cause the unit to pulsate or totally stop 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oranunfoldedpaperclip,

insert the needle into the nozzle hole and move it back

and forth until the debris is dislodged, Fig 9.

• Remove additional debris by back-ﬂushing water

through the nozzle. To do this, place the end of a gar-

den hose (with water running) to the end of the nozzle

for 30-60 seconds.

ADJUSTING THE SPRAY PATTERN

Pencil or fan water spray patterns can be clockwise or

anti-clockwise, Fig 8. The fan spray pattern is the most

commonly used for general cleaning operations. The

pencil spray pattern is used to remove localized stub-

born contamination such as oil stains.

Note: The motor only runs when the trigger is operat-

ed. When the pressure washer is not in use, we recom-

mend that you lock the gun using the trigger lock for

safety reasons. Switch the unit OFF when not in use for

extended periods of time and expel pressurised water

in the unit by operating the trigger gun while the unit

is in the OFF position.

MOTOR PROTECTION

To prevent damage to the motor due to overheating,

the pump motor is equipped with a thermal switch. If

during use the pressure washer stops operating allow

5-10 minutes for the motor to cool down before re-

starting. If the motor continues to cut out due to over-

heating please contact our customer help line.

EXTENSION ADAPTOR

Accessories require the use of the extension adaptor.

Remove the lance from the gun and attach the adap-

tor as necessary. Grip the end of the gun and screw

the adaptor onto the gun ensuring it is tight, Fig 10.

Do not over tighten as this could damage both the

connectors.

Fit the accessories into the gun assembly by pushing

them into the gun assembly and locating the lugs, at

the same time turn clockwise to lock

into position, Fig 11.

TURBO LANCE

A turbo lance, sometimes referred to as a rotary lance,

is a very effective tool that can signiﬁcantly reduce

cleaning time.

The turbo nozzle combines the power of a narrow

high impact stream and the efﬁciency of a 25 degree

fan pattern. This swirls the narrow high impact stream

into a cone shape that cleans a larger area.

Caution Since a turbo lance uses a narrow high

impact stream, only use it in applications where the

leaning surface cannot be damaged by a narrow high

impact spray. Always test on an inconspicuous area

ﬁrst to ensure you do not damage the surface.

Note: The turbo lance is NOT adjustable and cannot be

used to apply detergent.

FIXED BRUSH

Your pressure washer is supplied with a ﬁxed brush. It

has soft bristles and can be used in conjunction with

the detergent dispenser to apply detergent to the

surface you are cleaning.

It is ideal for cleaning car bodywork, windows etc. This

is a low pressure setting.

The ﬁxed brush connects to the gun assembly.

WARNING! Do not t brushes when the power is

on.

Caution Ensure the brush is clean and free from de-

bris.

Ensure the surface to be cleaned is sound and will not

be damaged by the brushing action. Test on an incon-

spicuous area ﬁrst. Any grit or debris on the surface to

be cleaned or in the brush can cause damage to that

surface. Please ensure both are checked prior to

cleaning.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING SURFACES

Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the im-

pact force of the water exceeds the durability of the

surface. Never use a narrow high impact stream or a

turbo/rotary lance on a surface that is susceptible to

damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high

impact stream or turbo lance as this may cause

breakage.

Follow these simple steps to avoid damaging your

surfaces:

1. Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a

wide fan pattern.

2. Place the nozzle approximately 1.5 to 2 metres from

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.

USING DETERGENT

Add detergent to the container and replace the cap.

Do not overll.

Set the adjustable lance at low pressure.

• Pull forward on the adjusting sleeve of the standard

lance Fig 11A.

• Depress the trigger to spray detergent.

Note: The detergent function does not work on high

pressure.

Fig 11A

DETERGENTS

The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning

time and assist in the removal of difﬁcult stains. Some

detergents have been customized for pressure washer

for speciﬁc cleaning tasks. These detergents are

approximately as thick as water.

The cleaning power of detergents comes from apply-

ing them to a surface and giving the chemicals time to

break down the dirt and grime. Detergents work best

when applied at low pressure. Follow this with a high

pressure rinse for best cleaning results.

On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the

bottom and work your way upward. This will prevent

the detergent form sliding down and causing streaks.

High pressure rinsing should also progress from the

bottom upwards. On particularly tough stains it may be

necessary to use a brush in combination with deter-

gents and high pressure rinsing.

USAGE

The following cleaning procedure will help you organ-

ize your cleaning task and ensure that you achieve the

most beneﬁcial results in the shortest amount of time.

Remember to use the spraying/ cleaning techniques

previously listed.

1. Surface Preparation

It is important to prepare the surface that is to be

cleaned. This is done by clearing the area of furniture

and making sure that all windows and doors are closed

tight. In addition, you should make sure that all plants

and trees adjacent to the cleaning area are protected

by a drop cloth. This will ensure that your plants won’t

be sprayed by the detergents.

2. Initial High Pressure Rinse

The next step is to spray the cleaning surface with

water to clear off any dirt or grime that may have col-

lected on the surface. This will allow your detergent to

attack the deep down dirt that has worked its way into

the cleaning surface.

Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide

fan pattern and slowly adjust to the desired spray

pattern. This will help you avoid applying too much

concentrated spray to the surface which could cause

damage.

TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF

YOUR PRESSURE

1. Never operate the unit without water.

2. This pressure washer is not designed to pump hot

water. Never connect it to the hot water supply as this

will signiﬁcantly reduce the life of the pump.

3. Only use detergents speciﬁcally designed for pres-

sure washers. Other types of detergent may cause

internal damage to the unit, as might chemicals such

as bleach, washing-up liquid, etc.

4. Never operate the unit for more than one (1)

minute without spraying water. Otherwise, the result-

ing heat build up will damage the pump.

5. Winter Storage:

For storage during the winter months we recom-

mend 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 compo-

nents.

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, and then pack away in your storage area.

WARNING! Before reusing completely ush the

unit out with clean water. Anti-freeze can damage

paintwork so you must ensure there is no antifreeze

left in the system before using it again.
