Use of extension cables
Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous. If
an extension cable is used, it shall be suitable for
outdoor use, and the connection MUST be kept dry
and off the ground. It is recommended that this is
accomplished by means of a cable reel which keeps
the socket at least 60 mm above the ground.
Use cables featuring "IPX5" protection level. The
cross-section of the extension cable should be
proportionate to its length; the longer it is, the
greater its cross-section should be (See fig 29).
For an extension cable up to 25m long, ensure
that the cross sectional area of the cable core is
at least 1.5mm". For extension cables 25m-50m
long, ensure that the cross sectional area of the
cable core is at least 2.5mm". Do not use extension
cables longer than 50m.
Always fully unwind your extension cable before
use.
Water supply connection
Caution - Danger ! Only clean or filtered water
should be used for intake. Please note the max
input pressure. Place the appliance as close to
the water supply system as possible.
Connection to the mains water supply
• The appliance can be connected directly to the
mains drinking water supply only if the supply
hose or tap is fitted with a backflow preventer
valve. If one is not present, or if you are unsure, fit
a backflow preventer valve (such as the Hozelock
Non-Return Valve 2181) as per current regulations
in force. Make sure that the hose is at least Ø12.5
mm and that it is reinforced.
Note: Water that has flown through backflow
preventers is considered to be non-potable.
Using your Pressure Washer
Start-up
Caution - Danger ! Before starting up the
appliance check that the water supply hose is
connected properly; use of the appliance without
water will damage it; do not cover the ventilation
grills when the appliance is in use.
Caution - Danger ! During operation the
appliance must be positioned as shown in on a
sturdy, stable surface.
• Turn on the water supply tap fully.
• Ensure that the red safety button (X) is released
(fig.9).
• Depress the gun trigger for a few seconds (fig 10)
and start up the appliance by setting the ON/OFF
8
switch to ON/1 (fig.11).
• This model incorporates a Total Stop System (TSS
system), with an automatic delivery flow cut-off
system:
• When the gun trigger is released the dynamic
pressure automatically cuts out the motor.
• When the gun trigger is depressed the automatic
drop in pressure starts the motor and the pressure is
restored after a very slight delay (fig 10).
• If the TSS is to function correctly all gun releasing
and depressing operations must be performed at
intervals over 4-5 seconds.
DO NOT PULSE THE TRIGGER.
• To prevent damage to the appliance, when running
do not stop the water jet for more than 10 minutes
at a time. If the product is not used for more than
10 minutes please ensure that the on/off switch is
switched to off (OFF/0) to prevent damage to the
appliance.
Adjusting the spray nozzle
• Water flow is adjusted by regulating the nozzle (fig
12).
Stopping the appliance
• Set the ON/OFF switch to off (OFF/0) (fig 11).
• Depress the gun trigger and discharge any residual
pressure inside the hoses.
• Engage the gun's red safety button (X) (fig 9).
Restarting
• Ensure water is connected.
• Release the gun's red safety button (X) (fig 9).
• Depress the gun trigger and discharge any residual
air inside the hose.
• Set the on/off switch to on (ON/1) (fig 11).
Storage
• Switch the appliance off (OFF/0) (fig 11).
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Turn off the water supply tap.
• Discharge the residual pressure from the gun by
pressing the trigger, until all the water has come out
of the nozzle.
• Drain the detergent tank.
• Disconnect the high pressure hose from the gun by
pressing the red quick release button and remove
the hose end (fig 13).
• Disconnect the high pressure hose from the
pressure washer by pressing the red quick release
button at the side of the product and remove the
hose (fig 14).
• Disconnect the nozzle from the lance extension (fig
15) and return it to its storage position on the side
of the product (fig 16).
