Operating Instructions
Switching on
• Always open water supply tap before switching on to protect the pump
from damage
• Set the Trigger Lock (15) to prevent the Trigger (14) being pressed
• Connect the pressure washer to the mains supply and turn the On/Off
Switch (19) on. The pump operates immediately to build up pressure
and each time the trigger is pressed to restore water pressure. When
first switched on, the pump may operate continuously until the trigger
is pressed. Do not allow this to exceed 3 minutes. Press and release the
trigger to de-activate this mode and ideally start using within 2 minutes
of switching on
• It is important that all air is bled from the hoses and lance before using
the pressure washer. Disable the trigger lock and squeeze and hold the
trigger until water is sprayed in a steady stream. This may take up to 2
minutes or possibly longer on first use
Using your pressure washer
• To spray water, squeeze the Trigger (14). Make sure you are holding the
lance securely, ideally with both hands, as there will be a small recoil
action on start-up
• To disable the trigger use the Trigger Lock (15) when necessary
• The Nozzle & Pattern Selector (5) can be adjusted between a wide fan
pattern (60°), and a strong narrow jet (0°) by rotating. It is advisable to
start with the nozzle turned clockwise (fan pattern), and experiment with
narrower patterns and different spray distances, until the correct strength
is achieved. Release the trigger when changing setting
• Use the Pressure Adjuster (9) to adjust pressure output. Release the
trigger when changing the setting
• The pressure washer will protect the motor from over-heating if used
continuously for too long, and will prevent the trigger from operating. It
will reset after cooling for a few minutes. It is recommend to have a
work pattern that prevents the over-heating protection feature activating
by not holding down the trigger continuously
• If you are unsure of the durability of the surface that is being cleaned,
avoid using the narrow jet setting. Reduce the pressure and start at a
longer distance from the surface
• It is recommended to hold the lance at an angle of 45˚ to the surface
being cleaned. This will give maximum control, and most effective
cleaning
• Always test-clean an inconspicuous area first to check that the cleaning
process or detergent will not damage the surface being cleaned,
especially mortar between bricks or patio slabs which can be easily
removed with a pressure washer if not careful
Using detergent
1. Remove the Detergent Cap (4) and fill with a pressure washer-
compatible detergent. There are many products available that are
suitable for pressure washers, including patio cleaner, glass cleaner,
car shampoo, traffic film remover, wood and plastic cleaning solutions,
plus general purpose pressure washer detergent
2. The pressure washer is designed to dispense detergent on the low
pressure setting and dispense clear liquid on the high pressure setting.
The Pressure Adjuster (9) is marked with the required direction
for increasing or decreasing pressure. Adjust the Nozzle & Pattern
Selector (5) to the required setting if necessary.
NOTE: The detergent ratio is variable depending on the pressure adjuster
setting. Release the trigger when changing either of these settings
3. Once you have finished using detergent, set the lance to the high
pressure setting on the pressure adjuster, and spray until the water is
clear
Pressure Washer 1800W
Notes:
• A typical pattern of use for using detergent foam would be first cleaning
with water to remove light surface deposits, then apply detergent foam
and then finally rinse off with clean water
• Detergent foam requires a few minutes to work when applied to
surfaces. Normally for maximum cleaning leave 2-5 minutes between
applying foam and removing with clean water which is an ideal time to
brush/scrub the surface where most dirt has collected. Do not allow foam
to dry on the surface, so on a hot day there may be limited time between
dispensing foam and rinsing off depending on surface
• Do not use detergents not designed for pressure washers. They may
contain chemicals unsuitable for use with pressure washers that could
damage seals
• Read the instructions provided with the detergent thoroughly, especially if
concentrated. Diluting to the detergent manufacturer's recommendations
will ensure effective cleaning without using excessive detergent. As this
pressure washer has a variable detergent ratio, set to a middle pressure
setting and adjust the pressure downwards until a satisfactory detergent
mixture is achieved
Switching off
When you have finished using the machine, always perform the following
steps:
1. Switch off the machine and disconnect from the mains supply
2. Turn off the water supply
3. Squeeze the trigger and allow all residual water pressure to bleed
4. Disconnect the water supply
5. Drain all water from the machine and hoses, and store in a dry place
Warning: Do not switch off the water supply before turning off the pump as
the pump must not be run without water.
Warning: Never disconnect the high pressure hose at either end without
depressurising first
Accessories
A range of accessories are available from your Silverline stockist to
enhance the functionality of your pressure washer including brushes and
replacement or higher specification parts.
Maintenance
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times
• Always allow all water to drain from the pump before storing
• The Lance Nozzle may become dirty or blocked over time, which will
effect operation. Clean the lance nozzle using the Cleaning Pin (6)
supplied. A garden hose can also be used to clean the nozzle by back-
flushing water through the nozzle. Combining use of the pin and back-
flushing should enable the nozzle to be fully cleaned. The frequency of
doing this will depend on the water quality in your area with hard water
areas requiring more frequent cleaning
• Regularly check the Water Inlet Connector (18) filter to make sure it is
clear
Storage
• Always store this machine in a dry place that will not fall below 0˚C
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that
are no longer functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of power tools
