Visual guide for connecting the high-pressure hose, water inlet, and power.
- Assemble the Gun and Lance: Connect the adjustable spray lance to the high-pressure gun. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Connect High-Pressure Hose: Attach one end of the 8m high-pressure hose to the high-pressure gun and the other end to the high-pressure outlet on the front of the washer unit. Tighten all connections firmly.
- Connect Water Inlet: Attach your garden hose (not included) to the water inlet connector on the washer unit. Ensure the water supply hose is free of kinks and damage.
- Water Supply:
- From Tap: Connect the garden hose to a standard water tap and turn on the water supply fully.
- Self-Priming (from bucket/tank): If using the self-priming function, ensure the water inlet hose is submerged in a clean water source (e.g., a bucket or tank). The unit will draw water from this source.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet.
- Bleed Air: Before turning on the unit, squeeze the trigger on the gun for about 30 seconds to allow air to escape from the system and ensure a steady flow of water.

7. Maintenance

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not start | No power supply; Power switch off; Thermal overload activated | Check power connection; Turn power switch ON; Allow unit to cool down |
| No pressure or low pressure | Water supply off or restricted; Air in pump; Clogged nozzle; Inlet filter dirty | Check water supply and hose for kinks; Bleed air from pump (see Setup); Clean nozzle; Clean inlet filter |
| Water leaks from connections | Loose connections; Worn O-rings | Tighten all connections; Replace worn O-rings |
| Detergent not dispensing | Detergent bottle empty; Nozzle not in low-pressure/detergent mode; Detergent line clogged | Refill detergent bottle; Adjust nozzle; Clean detergent line |
9. User Tips
- Pre-Rinse: Always pre-rinse the surface with plain water before applying detergent to loosen dirt and debris.
- Test Surface: Before cleaning, test the pressure washer on an inconspicuous area to ensure it does not damage the surface.
- Work from Bottom Up: When applying detergent, work from the bottom up to prevent streaking. When rinsing, work from the top down.
- Optimal Distance: Maintain an appropriate distance between the nozzle and the cleaning surface. Too close can cause damage, too far reduces effectiveness.
- Self-Priming Convenience: The self-priming feature is excellent for areas without direct tap access, allowing you to use water from a rain barrel or tank. Ensure the water source is clean to prevent pump damage.
