Ensure that all components are included and in good conditions. If any sign of visible damage
is observed or any of the product parts are missing, immediately contact the official Technical
Support Service of Cecotec.
3. PRODUCT ASSEMBLY
- Fit the high-pressure hose (5) to the pressurised water outlet of the machine (6).
- Attach the gun (7) to the high-pressure hose (5). Before putting the machine into operation,
make sure that the high-pressure hose (5) is completely unwound. The hose (5) should not
become entangled while in use.
- Install the spray nozzle (11) or the item to be used.
- Connect the machine to the power supply (8) and water supply (3).
4. OPERATION
Setting the water pressure
The angle of the water jet can be set with the spray nozzle by turning the tip. This will cause the
jet to vary from approximately 0° (narrow high impact jet) to 60° (wide spray jet). Fig .3
This device has 3 modes:
Concentrated mode
The angle of the water jet can be set with the spray nozzle. Rotate the nozzle to select the
direct jet, which has a high impact on the surface to be cleaned and provides thorough cleaning
of concentrated areas. This jet must be carefully used, as it can damage surfaces. Fig. 4
Warning
Pay special attention when cleaning surfaces susceptible to damage, such as vehicle bodywork
or rims, lacquered surfaces, wood, paintwork, etc.
Spray mode
Turn the spray nozzle to select the fan spray pattern to cover large areas. This cleaning mode
offers excellent results without the risk of damaging surfaces. By using a wide spray pattern,
larger areas can be cleaned more quickly. Fig. 5

Turbo mode
Use the 3D TurboFlip nozzle to clean with a turbo mode. Water is distributed in a spiral-
shaped jet. The 3D TurboFlip nozzle combines the power of a direct jet of great impact with the
efficiency of a 25º jet. This transforms the concentrated jet into a conical jet that deep cleans
larger areas. Fig. 6
Product performance
Warning
The motor of this pressure washer does not run continuously. It only runs when pressing the
trigger. Once the initial procedures in this manual have been carried out, turn the pressure
washer on and press the trigger to activate the pressure washer.
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 to clean the dirt remains. To do this,
point a lighted garden hose at the nozzle for 30-60 seconds.
High-pressure hose angle to the 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
