- EXPLOSION HAZARD. DO NOT tamper with or alter the calibration of the safety valve.

- HAZARDOUS ALTERATION OF OPERATING PER-

FORMANCE. DO NOT alter the original diameter of the spray head nozzle. - ACCIDENT HAZARD. DO NOT leave the cleaner unattended. - SHORT CIRCUIT HAZARD. DO NOT move the cleaner by pulling on the electrical cable. SAFETY “MUSTS” - SHORT CIRCUIT HAZARD. All electrical conductors MUST BE PROTECTED against the water jet. - ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. The cleaner MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED to a correctly earthed power supply. - Use a Residual Current Device (RCD) of not more than 30 mA, at the plug socket when using this appli- ance. - INJURY HAZARD. The high pressure may cause materials to bounce off surfaces at speed; therefore protective clothing and safety goggles MUST BE WORN. - ACCIDENTAL START-UP HAZARD. Before doing work on the cleaner, REMOVE the plug. - INJURY HAZARD. Before pressing the trigger, GRIP the gun fi rmly to counteract the recoil. - CONTAMINATION HAZARD. COMPLY WITH the requirements of the local water supply company. According to DIN 1988, power-jet cleaners may only be connected to the mains drink- ing water supply if a backfl ow preventer valve with drain facility is installed in the supply hose. - ACCIDENT HAZARD. Maintenance and/or repair of electrical components MUST be carried out by qualifi ed staff. - INJURY HAZARD. DISCHARGE residual pressure before disconnecting the cleaner hose. - ACCIDENT HAZARD. Before using the cleaner, CHECK every time that the screws are fully tightened and that there are no broken or worn parts. - EXPLOSION AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Only USE detergents which will not corrode the coating materials of the high pressure hose/electri- cal cable. - INJURY HAZARD. ENSURE that all people or animals keep a minimum distance of 16 yd. (15m) away. SAFETY VALVE The safety valve also functions as a pressure limiting valve. When the gun trigger is released, the safety valve opens and the water recirculates through the pump inlet. ● In versions not equipped with TSS device, do not operate the cleaner for more than 1-2 minutes with the gun closed as this could damage the seals. ● Protect the cleaner from freezing during the winter. ● Do not obstruct the ventilation grilles during opera- tion. ● The cross-section of any extension cables used must be proportional to their length, i.e. the longer the extension cable, the greater the cross-section; cables with a protection level of “IPX5” must be used. ● Position the cleaner AS NEAR POSSIBLE to the wa- ter supply. ● The packaging is easily recyclable, and must be dis- posed of in compliance with the regulations in force in the country of installation. ● Use the cleaner only with accessories and replace- ment parts authorized by the manufacturer. The use of original accessories and replacement parts will ensure safe, trouble-free operation. ● The cleaner must be used standing on a secure, sta- ble surface. ● Avoid unintentional fi ring of the trigger. Do not carry the lance/ trigger assembly with your hand over the trigger. Always use the trigger lock mechanism. ● Ensure that the safety lock on the trigger is used, when you have stopped using the pressure washer to prevent accidental operation. (fi g 5)

To enable supply of detergent from the bottle, remove nozzle of the spray lance according to the arrow on the Fig. 3a. The detergent nozzle and tank attaches to the end of the trigger assembly in the same way as the lance does. Fill the detergent tank with liquid detergent. When the trigger is now pressed with the machine run- ning, detergent will spray out with the water.

RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROCEDURE

Dissolve dirt by applying detergent with the fan jet to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces, work from the bottom upwards. Leave the detergent to act for 1 to 2 minutes, but do not allow to dry out. Apply the high pressure jet, keeping the nozzle at least 30 cm (10 in.) from the surface, working from the bottom upwards. Avoid allowing the rinsing water to run on to unwashed surfaces.

SHUTTING DOWN THE PRESSURE

WASHER CAUTION! Never disconnect the high-pres- sure hose from the machine while the system is still pressurized. Follow the correct procedure:

1. Turn off the pressure washer by using the switch on

2. Unplug the unit from the power source.

3. Turn off the water supply at the tap.

4. Press the trigger of the gun to depressurize the sys-

5. Disconnect the supply hose to the machine

6. Wipe all surfaces of the unit with a damp clean

7. Engage the safety lock.

1. When switched on, the machine will not start

working. ● Plug is not well connected or electric socket is faulty. - Check plug, socket and fuse. ● The mains voltage is lower than the minimum re- quirement for start up. Check that the mains voltage is adequate. ● The pump is stuck. - Refer to after storage instructions. Switch off the unit and let the motor cool. ● Thermal safety has tripped. - Leave the lance open with water comingthrough.

2. Fluctuating pressure

● Pump sucking air - Check that hoses and connections are airtight ● Valves dirty, worn out or stuck. Pump seals worn. - Clean and replace or refer to dealer.

3. Water leaking from the pump

● Seals worn out - Check and replace, or refer to dealer

● Before connecting any hoses or trigger/ lance assembly fi rst check all connections to ensure they are free from any blockage. ● Screw the outlet pressure hose (6) onto the machine and ensure a good hand tight fi t. ● Connect the spray lance (4) to the trigger (5) by means of the push in and twist bayonet fi tting (fi g 2). Ensure that this connection has been performed positively and the bayonet has located correctly. En- sure the hose has no kinks in it.

WATER SUPPLY ● Ensure that you have a suitable water supply to feed the pressure washer. Check that all connections are tight and there are no leaks in the hose. ● The supply tap should be fully open (do not turn on the pressure washer yet). ● Now depress the trigger (unlock trigger lock fi rst) to let water pass through the unit and expel any air. WARNING! This unit is to be used with a coldwater source only! ELECTRICAL CABLES Ensure that all cables are damage free before connect- ing to the power supply. The electric supply connection shall be made by a qualifi ed electrician. It is recommended that the electric supply to this appliance should include either a residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a device which will prove the earth circuit. CAUTION! The machine may cause electri- cal disturbances when starting. If the motor stops and fails to restart, wait 10-30 minutes before restarting. THERMAL CUTOUT TRIPPED CAUTION! The cleaner must only be used with clean water; use of unfi ltered water or corrosive chemicals will damage the cleaner. ● Turn the motor switch to the “0” position. ● Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency (Volts/Hz) correspond to those specifi ed on the cleaner data plate. ● Plug in the pressure washer and turn the unit on with the main switch (3).

ADJUSTING THE NOZZLE 3

Water may be sprayed out of the nozzle either linearly or in a fan shape. Turn on the pressure fi rst, and then adjust the nozzle. The water inlet fi lter must be inspected regularly, so as to avoid blockage and restriction of the water supply to the pump. (fi g 4)10
