Setup Guide

1. Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all listed parts are present and undamaged. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

2. Assembly

1. Attach the ergonomic handle to the main unit, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
2. Assemble the hose reel onto the designated mounting points. Connect the high-pressure hose from the unit to the hose reel, then connect the other end of the high-pressure hose to the spray gun.
3. Attach the desired lance (multi-nozzle or turbo head) to the spray gun using the quick-fix attachment.

3. Water Connection

1. Connect a standard garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks.
2. Turn on the water supply fully. The water supply must be clean and free of debris to prevent damage to the pump.

4. Electrical Connection

1. Plug the power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. Confirm that the electrical supply (230V - 50Hz) matches the unit's requirements.

Operating Your Pressure Washer

1. Starting the Unit

1. Before turning on the power, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to release any trapped air from the system. Allow water to flow through until a steady stream emerges, indicating the pump is primed.
2. Turn the pressure washer ON using the main power switch. The motor will activate when the spray gun trigger is squeezed and automatically stop when released (Auto Stop System).

2. Using Nozzles and Lances

• Multi-Nozzle Lance: This lance offers four different spray patterns. Rotate the nozzle head to select the desired pattern (e.g., pencil jet, fan spray).
• Turbo Head: For stubborn dirt and grime, attach the turbo head. It provides a concentrated, rotating spray for maximum cleaning power.
• Always test the chosen spray pattern on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the surface.

3. Detergent Application

1. Fill the integrated detergent tank with a pressure washer-specific detergent. Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents.
2. Attach the detergent application nozzle (if separate) or adjust the multi-nozzle lance to the detergent setting.
3. Apply detergent to the surface, working from bottom to top. Allow the detergent to soak for a few minutes (refer to detergent instructions) before rinsing with high-pressure water.

4. Stopping the Unit

1. Turn the pressure washer OFF using the main power switch.
2. Turn off the water supply at the tap.
3. Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to release any remaining pressure in the system.
4. Disconnect the water hose and then the power cord.

Maintenance and Care

1. Nozzle Cleaning

Regularly inspect and clean the nozzles to prevent blockages, which can lead to reduced pressure or inconsistent spray patterns. Use the provided nozzle cleaning tool to clear any debris.

2. Water Inlet Filter

Periodically check and clean the water inlet filter. A clogged filter can restrict water flow to the pump, causing performance issues. Remove the filter, rinse it under running water, and reinsert it.

3. Storage and Winterization

Before storing the unit, especially in areas where temperatures may drop below freezing, it is crucial to drain all water from the pump, hose, and spray gun. This prevents damage from freezing water. Store the pressure washer in a dry, protected area.
