Nozzle cleaning
- A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can significantly reduce water output and cause
intermittent jetting. To clean the nozzle:
- Turn off and unplug the unit.
- Disconnect the water supply. Press the trigger 2 or 3 times to release the pressure
trapped in the hose.
- Disassemble the wand.
- Turn the nozzle to concentrate mode, this will activate the internal blades.
- Use the cleaning clip provided, or any pointed item to clean the nozzle, e.g. insert an
unfolded paper clip into the nozzle hole. Move it inwards and outwards until all dust and
dirt is removed. Fig. 7
- Pour water through the nozzle hole into the nozzle in order to clean the dirt remains. To
do this, point a garden hose on at the nozzle for 30-60 seconds.
High pressure hose angle to surface to be cleaned
- When spraying water against a surface, the jet achieves maximum impact when sprayed
head-on. However, this type of impact tends to embed dirt particles into the surface,
creating the opposite cleaning effect to the desired. Therefore, the optimum angle for
spraying water against a surface is 45°. Spraying water at this angle improves the impact
and allows it to be combined with more efficient dirt removal. Fig. 8
Distance from the surface to be cleaned
Another factor that determines the impact force of the water is the distance to the surface
to be cleaned. Impact and force of the water increases as the spray nozzle approaches the
surface.
How to avoid damaging surfaces
- A surface is damaged when the impact of the force of the water is greater than the
hardness of the surface. The impact force will vary according to the settings mentioned
above. Never use a direct jet on surfaces susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows
with the direct jet, as they may break.
The best way to avoid damaging surfaces is to follow these steps:
- Before pressing the trigger, move the spray nozzle to the fan spray position.
- Follow the distance and angle instructions mentioned above.
- Vary the angle of the jet, the type of jet and the distance from the surface to be cleaned
until efficient cleaning is achieved without damaging the surface.
3D TurboFlip nozzle.
The TurboFlip 3D nozzle, also defined as a rotating nozzle, is a very effective accessory to
significantly reduce cleaning time. It must be used to clean in the turbo mode explained in the
previous section.

Cleaning process
The following cleaning procedure will help you organise and ensure you get the best results.
Remember to follow the previous advice.
Preparing the surface
- Clear the area of furniture and check that windows and doors are securely closed.
- Also make sure that plants and trees near the area to be cleaned are protected with a
cloth.
Initial high-pressure rinse
Spray the area to be cleaned with water to clean any dirt that may have accumulated on
the surface. Before pressing the trigger, move the spray nozzle to the spray mode position
and progressively move it to the desired spray position. This way, you will avoid applying an
excessively direct jet on more delicate surfaces.
Final rinse
Start the final rinse from bottom to top. Make sure that the surface is well rinsed and that all
dirt has been removed.
Turning off
-
Make sure there is no detergent in the system.
-
Turn off the motor. Turn off the water supply.
-
Once the product and the water supply have been turned off, press the trigger to
depressurise the device.
-
After each use, wipe the surface of the pressure washer with a clean, damp cloth.
Warning
-
Do not turn off the water supply until the motor has been switched off, as this could
cause serious damage to the pump and motor.
-
Do not remove the high pressure hose from the machine while the system is being
pressurised. To depressurise the device, turn off the motor and water supply and press
the trigger 2 or 3 times.
Tips for extending the product shelf life
-
Do not use the product without water.
-
Do not use the product with hot water.
-
Before setting the spray nozzle pressure (high to low or low to high), release the trigger.
-
Never use the unit for more than 1 minute without spraying water.
