Intended Use

Pressure washer for general, light to medium duty cleaning tasks on vehicles, buildings and other
suitable surfaces, using a jet of cold, pressurised water, with or without detergent .
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your product . Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the product are present and in good condition . If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this product
Before Use
• Always check all parts and attachments are secure, and that hoses are not kinked or obstructed
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment for the job at hand. Use of this appliance
requires safety goggles and waterproof clothing
• Always use an RCD when connecting a pressure washer to the mains with a tripping current of no
more than 30mA, and a delay in operating of no more than 30ms
• Make sure mains connection points are out of reach of the pressure washer water spray and any
water that may collect on surrounding surfaces
• Only use a mains extension cable suitable for outdoor use and capable of carrying the required
current for this product . The cable must be protected against water ingress and maintain water-
tight connections where it connects to the pressure washer
• This product must be earthed and any extension cables used must have an earth connection
• Always use the pressure washer vertically and make sure it is used on a flat, level surface
Assembly
• Do not connect the pressure washer to the water or electrical supply until fully assembled and
ready for use
• Remove all packaging materials from the product
• Attach Lance Bracket / Power Cord Hook (1) to main assembly sliding it down until it clicks
securely into place (Fig . VI)
Lance
• To assemble the Lance, insert Lance Extension Bayonet Connector (11) into Lance Handle
Bayonet Socket (12) then rotate and release so the bayonet connector is locked in the groove of
the bayonet socket (Fig . I)
• Attach the Nozzle Bayonet Connector (9) to Lance Extension Socket (10) by repeating the above
process (Fig . I)
Notes:
• If using the Lance Detergent Dispenser (22) fit to the Lance Extension Socket (10) instead of the
Nozzle Bayonet Connector (9) (Fig . I)
• Do not attempt to fit the Nozzle Bayonet Connector (9) or Lance Detergent Dispenser (22) directly
into the Lance Handle Bayonet Socket (12). The fittings are a different size
High pressure hose
1. Remove the plastic cap from the Hose Connector (Handle) (19) if fitted (Fig. II)
2 . Carefully cut and remove cable ties around the hose (making sure not to damage the hose
surface), then uncoil hose
3 . Attach the Hose Connector (Handle) (19) to the Lance High Pressure Hose Connector (13) (Fig .
IV), then screw the fittings together until tight
4 . Remove the plastic cap from the High Pressure Water Outlet (6) (Fig . II)
5. Attach the Hose Connector (17) to the High Pressure Water Outlet (6), and screw the fittings
together until tight (Fig . VII)
WARNING: If the high pressure hose is damaged it can burst and cause injury . A damaged hose
must be replaced, not repaired . Inspect regularly and prevent the hose from coming into contact
with sharp objects or rough surfaces .
Connecting to water supply
WARNING: When connecting a pressure washer to a normal domestic water supply, ensure a
non-return valve is fitted to the hose (also called backflow preventer). This will prevent the pressure
washer contaminating the water supply if there is a backflow.
1 . Remove the plastic cap from the Water Inlet (7) (Fig . II)
2. Check the filter inside the water inlet is clear of debris or any other material. Over time debris
may build up and the filter will need to be checked regularly and any debris build-up removed
3 . Fit the Inlet Hose Connector (21) to Water Inlet (7) and tighten by hand only (Fig . III)
4 . Connect a hose from the water supply to the Inlet Hose Connector (21)

Notes:
• The specification lists suitable water inlet pressures. Do not exceed the maximum water pressure
stated in the specification
• If you do not know or are unable to measure the water pressure, keep the pressure low to prevent
damage to the pressure washer . Aim to set the pressure at mid-point between the lowest and
highest water pressure accepted by the pressure washer . If preferred, a third party water pressure
gauge is available that connects directly to the tap . This will allow the water pressure to be set
more accurately
• Do not connect to a hot water supply . This will prevent the pump from cooling and may damage
the seals over time
• It is important that a good water connection is maintained while operating a pressure washer, as
the pump will be damaged if run without water . Make sure the connections are secure before
turning ON the pressure washer
Connecting to other water sources
Note: The pump featured in this pressure washer features a self-priming feature that allows use of
other water sources typically a water butt or other container of captured rain water or similar .
• Ensure the water supply is clean and filtered before entering the pressure washer. Ensure there is
no sediment
• For water butts, where the output is at the bottom, gravity will provide some pressure to assist the
pressure washer
The hose to the water supply should not exceed 3m in length and the diameter should not be less
than 19mm or ¾"
Operation
Switching ON
IMPORTANT: Always open the water supply tap before switching ON the pressure washer to protect
the pump from damage
1. Set the Trigger Lock (15) to prevent the Trigger (16) being pressed (Image D)
2. Connect the pressure washer to the mains supply and switch the ON/OFF Switch (2) ON (Image
A) . The pump will operate immediately to build up pressure automatically
Note: The water pressure will restore automatically each time the trigger is pressed .
IMPORTANT: Ensure all the air is bled from the hoses and lance before using the pressure washer .
Disable the Trigger Lock (15) 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 (Image D)
Using your pressure washer
WARNING: Do not run the pressure washer continuously for longer than 1 minute . Use more
frequent shorter sweeping bursts.
1. To spray water, squeeze the Trigger (16). Make sure you are holding the lance securely as there
will be a small recoil action when started . The Trigger (16) allows for some adjustment of spray
power, depending on how far the trigger is depressed
2 . To disable the Trigger (16), use the Trigger Lock (15) when necessary (Image D)
Notes:
• The Lance Nozzle (8) can be adjusted between a wide fan pattern (60° spray angle), and a strong
narrow jet (0°) (Image C) . 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
• If you are unsure of the durability of the surface that is being cleaned, avoid using the narrow jet
setting and start at a longer distance to the surface
• It is recommended the lance is held at an angle of 45˚ to the surface being cleaned. This will give
maximum control, and most effective cleaning
WARNING: Always test-clean an inconspicuous area first to check that the cleaning process or
detergent will not damage the surface being cleaned, particularly mortar between bricks or patio
slabs, which can be easily removed with a water jet
WARNING: Do not press the trigger for longer than 1 minute as the pump may become excessively
hot. Always allow some off time as you work and don't waste water on surfaces that do not require
cleaning. This machine is fitted with an automatic thermal cut-out and if the pump overheats it will
stop . The system will automatically reset after cooling for a few minutes . Always try to work in a way
that avoids the thermal cut-out from operating by giving the pump time to cool when possible
