• Regulating nozzle: Allows adjustment of the spray pattern and pressure.
• Rotating nozzle: Provides a powerful, rotating jet for stubborn dirt.
• Foam nozzle: For applying detergent as a foam.
• Delivery hose (8 meters): High-pressure hose connecting the unit to the gun.
• Fixed brush: For scrubbing surfaces while applying water.

3. Setup

1. Positioning: Place the pressure washer on a stable, level surface. Ensure adequate ventilation and keep it away from heat sources.
2. Water Supply Connection: Connect a garden hose (not supplied) to the frontal coupling on the pressure washer. Ensure the water supply is clean and free of debris. The water inlet pressure should be between 0.1 MPa (1 bar) and 1 MPa (10 bar).
3. High-Pressure Hose and Gun Assembly:
   • Connect one end of the 8-meter high-pressure delivery hose to the high-pressure outlet on the unit.
   • Connect the other end of the high-pressure hose to the gun.
   • Attach the desired lance and nozzle (e.g., regulating nozzle, rotating nozzle) to the gun.
4. Detergent Tank (Optional): If using detergent, fill the integrated detergent tank with an appropriate pressure washer detergent. Ensure the detergent is suitable for the surface you intend to clean.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cable into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the unit (230V, 50Hz).

4. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare for Operation:
   • Ensure all connections (water, high-pressure hose, power) are secure.
   • Open the water tap completely.
   • Before turning on the unit, press the trigger on the gun to purge air from the system until a steady stream of water emerges. This protects the pump.
2. Starting the Unit: Turn the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. The motor will start.
3. Using the Pressure Washer:
   • Point the gun at the surface to be cleaned, keeping a safe distance.
   • Release the safety lock on the gun handle and press the trigger to start the high-pressure jet.
   • The unit features a Total Stop System: The motor will automatically stop when the trigger is released and restart when the trigger is pressed again. This reduces wear and saves energy.
4. Changing Nozzles: Different nozzles provide different spray patterns and pressures.
   • Always turn off the pressure washer and release residual pressure by pressing the trigger before changing nozzles.
   • Attach the desired nozzle (regulating, rotating, foam) to the lance.
5. Applying Detergent:
   • Ensure the detergent tank is filled.
   • Attach the foam nozzle or adjust the regulating nozzle to the detergent application setting (if applicable).
   • The pressure washer will draw detergent from the tank and mix it with water at low pressure.
   • After applying detergent, switch back to a high-pressure nozzle to rinse the surface thoroughly.
6. Shutting Down:
   • Turn the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.
   • Close the water tap.
   • Press the gun trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.
   • Disconnect the power cable and water hose.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pressure washer.

• After Each Use:
  • Drain all water from the pump, hoses, and accessories to prevent freezing damage, especially in cold climates.
  • Clean the nozzles to prevent blockages. Use the provided nozzle cleaning tool if necessary.
  • Rinse the detergent tank thoroughly if detergent was used.
  • Wipe down the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
• Storage:
  • Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free environment.
  • Coil the high-pressure hose neatly and store the gun and lance in their designated holders on the unit.
  • Protect the unit from dust and dirt.
• Water Inlet Filter: Periodically check and clean the water inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the pump.
