Fig. 5 Installation Installing the multi-function nozzle Note: When the nozzle is installed, shake the nozzle gently to check if it’s correctly installed. Fig. 6 Fig. 7 Connecting the water inlet’s hose Note: When the hose is installed, shake the nozzle gently to check if it’s correctly installed. Fig. 8 Fig. 9 Operation Select the operating mode. The device can operate under two modes: High mode, which is used for cleaning the most stubborn dirt, and the Energy-saving mode (ECO), to clean the easier dirt. Fig. 10 Operation Note: The air inside the hose must be drained every time the device is used. Hold the device below the waist (<1.5 m) and select the high pressure mode. The water will be suctioned with the hose and will be ejected. This process takes about 15 seconds. Fig. 11 Select the water-spray eect The water-spray eect (multi-angle nozzle) must be selected according to the working conditions. The 0º, 15º and 40º modes are suitable for cleaning and watering. Do not use turbid, muddy or corrosive water. Warning Fig. 12 Fig. 13 Other The device can also be used with other accessories. Assemble the detergent bottle to remove by spraying on the most stubborn dirt. Adjust the detergent-spray rate by turning the knob. Use only soap for pressure washers. The proportion of water and soap should be: 5,4 % of soap and 94.6 % of water, 1:19 approximately. Try the soap where it will not be too visible before using the device. Open the bottle for soap and ll it with water and soap. Cover it again. Remove the lance. Install the bottle for soap in the spray gun. Let the soap act on the surface for some minutes. In the meantime, scrub the dirtiest zones with a brush. Do not let the soap touch the surface. Remove the bottle for soap from the spray gun and replace it for the lance. You can also remove it from the tip of the lance. Clean the soap from the surface. Note: Wash the bottle for soap with water after each use. Final rinse Start the nal rinse from the bottom to the top. Make sure the surface is correctly rinsed and that the dirt has completely been removed. Fig. 14 Fig. 15 Assemble a long nozzle (lance) to clean the dirt on the ground or in walls. Adjust the fan’s spray angle by rotating the tip. Fig. 16 Fig. 17 Cleaning the inlet’s connector. Fig. 18 Cleaning the inlet lter. Fig. 19

Adjusting water stream The angle of the water stream coming out of the nozzle can be adjusted with the pulverising nozzle by rotating the tip. This will vary the water pattern from approximately a 0° narrow high-impact stream to a 60° wide fan spray. Fig. 20 This appliance oers 2 modes: Focused modeHYDROBOOST 10000 LIBERTYHYDROBOOST 10000 LIBERTY

The angle of the water stream coming out of the nozzle may be adjusted with the pulverising nozzle. Turn the nozzle to select the focused stream, which has a high impact on the cleaning surface and results in maximum deep cleaning in a concentrated area. This narrow high- impact stream must be used cautiously, as it may damage some surfaces. Note: Pay special attention when cleaning delicate surfaces such as bodywork o wheel rims, lacquered surfaces, wood, paint, etc. Fig. 21 Spray mode Turn the pulverising nozzle to select the at-fan pattern. A wide stream will distribute the impact of water over a larger area, resulting in excellent cleaning action with a reduced risk of surface damage. Large surface areas can be cleaned more quickly using a wider stream. Fig. 22 Product operation Note: The motor on this pressure washer does not run continuously. It only runs when the trigger of the spray gun is squeezed. After following the start-up procedures in this manual, press the safety-lock button and the trigger at the same time, then release the safety-lock button. The device will operate as long as the trigger is pressed. Nozzle cleaning A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause a signicant reduction of water coming out of the nozzle and cause the unit to pulsate while spraying. To clean out the nozzle: Turn o and unplug the unit. Turn o water supply. Relieve any pressure trapped in the high-pressure by squeezing the trigger 2-3 times. Separate the lance from the gun. Rotate the nozzle to the narrow stream setting. Use any type of pointed element such as an unfolded paper clip to clean the nozzle. Insert the wire into the nozzle hole and move back and forth until debris is dislodged. Fig. 23 Remove debris by back-ushing water through the nozzle. To do this, point the end of a garden hose (with water running) to the nozzle’s end for 30-60 seconds. Angle from the high-pressure hose to the cleaning surface When spraying water against a surface, maximum impact is reached when the water strikes the surface head on. However, this type of impact tends to cause dirt particles to imbed in the surface, thereby preventing the desired cleaning action. The optimum angle for spraying water against a cleaning surface if 45 degrees. Spraying water against a surface at this angle provides for the most benecial impact force combined with ecient removal of debris from the surface. Distance from cleaning surface The impact force of the water is increased as the pulverising nozzle is moved closer to the surface. How to avoid damaging surfaces Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the impact force of the water exceeds the hardness of the surface. The impact force can be varied by controlling the three previously noted items. Never use a narrow high impact stream on a surface that is susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high impact stream as this may cause breakage. The surest way to avoid damaging surfaces is to follow these steps: Before triggering the gun, adjust the pulverising nozzle to a wide stream. First, follow the distance and angle instructions above. Vary the spray angle, stream type and the distance to the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning eciency is achieved without damaging the surface. Cleaning process Surface preparation Clean the area of furniture and make sure all windows and doors are closed tight. Also, make sure that all plants and trees near the cleaning area are protected by a drop cloth. Initial high-pressure rinse Spray the cleaning surface with water to clear o any dirt or grime that may have collected on the surface. Before triggering the gun, adjust the pulverising nozzle to a wide stream and slowly adjust it to the desired stream. This will avoid applying too much concentrated spray to the surface which could cause damage. Final rinse Start the nal rinse at the bottom and work upward. Make sure the surface is thoroughly rinsed and that al dirt is removed. Shut down Release the trigger. Remove the water supply.

Warning: Do not turn the water supply o before turning the motor o. Serious damage could

Before adjusting the pulverising nozzle’s pressure (high-to-low or low-to-high) release trigger. Anti-impurities lter This model includes a transparent male connector with an anti-scale lter to which the hose is connected, preventing scale from building up.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and allow it to cool down before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the product’s surface. Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquid. Do not use abrasive scouring pads, powders or cleaners. Maintenance of the water lter Remove the transparent cover of the lter, then remove the dirt in the lter and rinse the parts with water. Put the transparent cover back. Cleaning and preservation Remove the water inlet and the hose before storing it. Pour out the water inside the device and the hose. Remove the battery and store it separately if the device is not going to be used for a long time.

Problem Cause Solution ECO indicator light ashes. Low battery. Charge the battery. The device does not turn on. Low battery. Charge the battery. Sudden power outage. Temperature too high, overheating protection. Turn the device again once the temperature is lower. Low water content. Filtering blockage that leads to a poor water intake. Clean the water inlet’s lter and the water inlet. Inlet hose bent. Replace or straighten the inlet hose. Water contains impurities Replace the water. The device does not absorb the water Water inlet’s leakage. Tighten the inlet’s joint. Poor connection between water inlet and water inlet’s connector. Reassemble the inlet and outlet accessories. The water inlet’s lter is not correctly assembled. Assemble it correctly. The device takes longer to absorb water. Device on Energy-saving mode. Deactivate ECO mode and switch to normal mode. Multi-function nozzle leaks. Multi-function nozzle is not correctly assembled. Insert the multi-function nozzle in the device and then rotate it. Multi-function nozzle leaks. The nozzle is not correctly assembled. Rotate the nozzle to the indicating mark. Why can’t I charge the battery? Check if the charger and the battery are compatible. The battery can only be inserted into the charger in one direction. Turn the battery until it can be inserted into the charger. When the charger’s indicator light turns red, it means it is charging. Why does the battery’s charging time change? The charging time is aected by many factors, but this does not mean the device is defective. If the battery is only partially discharged, it will take less time to charge it back. If the battery’s temperature and the room temperature are low, the battery will take longer to charge. If the battery is too hot, the overheating- protection system will disconnect the device automatically. If this happens, unplug the device from the socket and the battery from the charger and then start charging it again after it cools down.
