Using Detergent with the Pressure
Washer
We recommend using either brush or
the regulating lance when you wish to
use the detergent with your pressure
washer. To use the regulating lance,
set the pressure handle to the minimum
pressure level indicated by the “dot”.
(Fig. 16)
Add detergent to the detergent tank and
insert the feed tube into the detergent
tank through the removable detergent
tank lid. Make sure that the feed tube
goes all the way to the bottom of the
detergent tank.
If you do not need to use detergent,
remove the feed tube from the
detergent tank.

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 tank, 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.
After you open the package, check to
make sure that all the parts are in the box
as per parts that are illustrated on page 3
of this guide. Due to transport and
packing restraints, some accessories
may be supplied unassembled; in this
case follow the assembly instructions in
this manual. If you have any questions,
call FANTOM customer service at 1 (800)
275-9251. Keep all small and potentially
harmful parts of the packaging (plastic
bags, foamed polystyrene, nails, etc.) out
of the reach of children.
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)

Using the Rotary Brush
The rotary 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. 15)
The brush may be used for washing
cars, boats, windows and other similar
items. The rotary brush operates at
open orifice pressure so that it will not
direct a stream of water. (Fig. 15)
CAUTION
Safety
Lock
When you wish to stop using the
pressure washer temporarily, make sure
that the safety lock has been engaged to
avoid any accidental operation. (Fig. 12)

Using the Regulating Lance
The angle of the water on the regulating
lance may be adjusted for high or low
pressure by turning the nozzle adjuster
counter-clockwise for a higher pressure
or clockwise all the way to the “dot” for a
lower pressure. (Fig. 13) Always make
sure that the "On/Off' switch is in the "Off"
position before changing the pressure of
the water jet. It is also recommended that
the trigger gun safety lock be engaged as
well. The regulating lance allows you to
use any variety of pressure from full
pressure to low. When using the pressure
washer to clean wood decks, siding,
vehicles, etc., always begin spraying from
a minimum 36-inches away at the lowest
pressure setting to avoid damaging the
surface material that you are cleaning.
Always clear the area that you will be
cleaning of people, pets and objects.
Using the Turbo Lance
The turbo lance is capable of cleaning
most areas around the garden or on
building work but using detergent is
useful when cleaning automobiles or
other painted finishes.
Using 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. 14) 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.
