Fantom Vacuum VPW43H - Manual (Page 5)

This high pressure washer is suitable for
non-professional use. The working
temperature must range between 40°F
and 120 °F. The machine is supplied with
a trigger gun, equipped with a trigger
handle to offer a comfortable working
position.
The high pressure washer is suitable for
washing with cold water only. The water
that you use for the pressure washer
must not be dirty, sandy or contain any
corrosive chemical products.
The pressure washer may be used to
wash shutters, doors, tiles, cars, decks,
campers, etc., where high water pressure
is necessary to remove dirt.
With the detergent applicator bottle, the
pressure washer can be used to apply a
thick coating of aerated detergent to the
areas being cleaned .
When using the pressure washer we
recommend the use of personal safety
items to reduce the risk of accidental
injury.
Suitable Use of Your Pressure
Washer
• Place the pressure washer in a safe
area and on a horizontal surface.
• When using the pressure washer,
hold the trigger gun firmly with one
hand on the handle and the other on
the lance. (Fig. 1)

Safety
Lock

sure that the safety lock has been
engaged to avoid any accidental
operation. (Fig. 14)

Using the Adjustable Fan Jet lance
The angle of the water on the fan jet
lance may be adjusted between 0° and
60° by turning the nozzle adjuster
counter-clockwise for a wider angle or
clockwise for a narrower angle. (Fig. 15
& Fig. 16) Always make sure that the
"On/Off' switch is in the "Off" position
before changing the angle of the water
jet. It is also recommended that the
trigger gun safety lock be engaged as
well. The adjustable fan jet lance allows
you to use any variety of spray pattern
from a full fan spray to a direct stream
spray. When using the pressure washer
to clean wood decks, siding vehicles,
etc., always start using the fan spray
and begin spraying from a minimum 36"
away to avoid damaging the surface of
the material that you are cleaning.
Always clear the area that you will be
cleaning of people, pets and objects.

Counter-clockwise Clockwise
Using the High Pressure lance
The high pressure lance may be used
alone (Fig. 17) or with the detergent
applicator bottle.
Add detergent to the bottle and then
attach the detergent applicator bottle to
the high pressure lance, just push it on
the end of the high pressure lance.
(Fig. 18) To remove the detergent
applicator bottle, lift the tab on the top
of the connector and pull off.

Using the Brush With the Trigger
Gun
The brush is used with the trigger gun.
Push the brush onto the trigger gun
nozzle and turn clockwise to lock as
you would for the lances. (Fig. 19) the
brush may be used for washing cars,
boats, windows and other similar items.
The brush operates at open orifice
pressure so it will not direct a stream of
water.

Maintenance & Cleaning
Lubrication: The pressure washer is
supplied with a closed lubrication
system, so no addition of oil is needed.
Checking the Water Intake Filter: The
water intake filter is located inside the
water intake connector. (Fig. 20).
Remove periodically and inspect for
any deposits that might accumulate
there.

Cleaning the Nozzles: If you notice that
the output pressure fluctuates, you may
have to clean the nozzles. Turn the unit
"Off". Unplug from electric outlet and
disconnect the water supply. Remove
the lances, trigger gun and hose from
unit. Take the small metal pin provided
and insert into the nozzle end to
remove any obstructions. (Fig. 21)
