Adjusting the telescopic rear handle
• Press the Rear Handle Release Button (26) and raise or lower the Telescopic Rear Handle (10)
(Image K)
Operation
Switching ON
• Always open the water supply tap before switching the pressure washer ON, to protect the pump
from damage
• Set the Trigger Lock (18) to prevent the Trigger (17) from being pressed (Image J)
• Connect the pressure washer to the mains power supply and move the ON/OFF Switch (5) to ON
(Fig . VI) . The pump will operate 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 deactivate 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
Switching OFF
• When you have finished using the appliance, always perform the following steps:
1. Switch OFF the appliance and disconnect from the mains power supply
2 . Turn OFF the water supply
3. Squeeze the Trigger (17) and allow all residual water pressure to bleed
4 . Disconnect the water supply
5 . Drain all water from the appliance 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.
Using your pressure washer
• To spray water, ensure you are holding the lance securely with both hands and squeeze the
Trigger (17) . Beware of slight recoil
• To disable the Trigger, use the Trigger Lock (18) when necessary (Image J)
• The Nozzle (19) is adjustable for a wide fan pattern and a strong narrow jet by rotating (Image M)
• Experiment with narrower patterns and different spray distances until the correct strength is
achieved . Release the Trigger when changing the setting
• Use the Pressure Adjustment (20) (Image M) 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
recommended 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
• Many products are available that are suitable for pressure washers, including patio cleaners,
glass cleaners, car shampoos, traffic film removers, wood and plastic cleaning solutions, and
general pressure washer detergents .
• Fill the Detergent Bottle (11) with the required detergent solution
• Dispense the detergent on a low pressure setting by adjusting the Pressure Adjustment (20)
(Image M), which is marked with '-' and '+'
• Increase the pressure with the Pressure Adjustment and spray away the detergent with a clear
spray
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 for 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, for instance on a hot day there may be limited time between dispensing foam
and rinsing off depending on the 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
2100W Pressure Washer
pressure setting and adjust the pressure downwards until a satisfactory detergent mixture is
achieved
Accessories
• A range of accessories is 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 appliance clean at all times
• Always allow all water to drain from the pump before storing
• The lance Nozzle (19) may become dirty or blocked over time, which will affect operation . Clean
the lance nozzle using the Cleaning Pin (24) (Image L) 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 Inlet Hose Connector (25) filter to make sure it is clear. This filter must be
checked regularly to ensure it is clear from debris and other materials . Remove the Inlet Hose
Connector to access the filter
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
