• Do not operate the pressure cleaner with the inlet water screen removed. Keep the screen clear of debris and
sediment.
• NEVER operate the pressure cleaner with broken or missing parts. Check the unit regularly and have worn or
damaged parts replaced immediately.
• Use only the nozzle supplied with this machine.
• Never leave the wand unattended while the machine is running.
• Never attempt to alter factory settings. Altering factory settings could damage the unit and will void the
warranty.
• Always hold the gun and wand firmly when starting and operating the machine.
• NEVER allow the unit to run for more than one (1) minute without spraying water. The resulting heat build-up
will damage the pump.
• The pressure cleaner is not meant to pump hot water. NEVER connect it to a hot water supply as it will
significantly reduce the life of the pump.
• NEVER store the pressure cleaner outdoors or where it could freeze. This would seriously damage the pump.
• Release the trigger when you want to change the pressure setting. Failure to do so could result in damage.
• Install an additional sand filter (not incl.) when using water from a different source than the potable water
mains.
CAUTION
• Keep the hose away from sharp objects. Bursting hoses may cause injury. Examine the hose regularly and
replace it if damaged. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hose.
DANGER: EXTENSION CORDS
• Use only grounded three-wire extension cords that are in good condition.
• Use of an extension cord is not recommended. Use only extension cords intended for outdoor use.
• Use only extension cords with an electrical rating equal to or higher than the rating of the device.
• Examine the extension cord prior to use and replace it if damaged.
• Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the device from the mains; pull the plug instead.
• Keep the cord away from heat and sharp edges.
• Always disconnect the cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the device from the extension cord.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury, including death.
• Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electrocution. Do not touch plug with wet
hands.

1 pressure cleaner 6 water outlet
2 water supply hose (not incl.) 7 trigger gun
3 water connection 8 power supply
4 water inlet 9 wand with spray nozzle
5 high-pressure tube 10 ON/OFF switch
How to mount your high-pressure cleaner:
• Mount the spray nozzle on the trigger gun
• Attach the spray handle to the high-pressure hose. Prior to operating the machine please ensure that the high-
pressure hose has been completely uncoiled. Make sure the hose DOESN’T loop during operation.
• Attach the high-pressure hose to the unit’s pressure water outlet.
• Connect the machine to the water and power supplies. Use an inlet hose (not incl.) of at least 1m long and
capable of withstanding a pressure of 0.8MPa.
5. Preparations
Adjusting the Fan Pattern
• The angle of the spray coming out of the lance may be adjusted on some lances by rotating the nozzle. This
will vary the spray pattern from approximately a 0° high-impact stream to a 60° fan spray (see fig. B1).
• A narrow stream exerts a high impact force on the target surface and results in maximum deep cleaning in a
concentrated area. However, this narrow high- impact spray must be used cautiously, as it may damage some
surfaces (fig. B2).
• A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact of the water over a larger area, resulting in excellent cleaning
action with a reduced risk of surface damage (fig. B3).
