4. Operating Instructions
Before starting, ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is open.
- Connect Power: Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet.
- Water Supply:
- Direct Tap Connection: Connect the water supply hose directly to a tap.
- Self-Priming Method: Place the water supply hose with the filter into a bucket of clean water. Ensure the filter is fully submerged.
- Start the Unit: Turn the power switch to the 'ON' position.
- Using Nozzles:
- Vario Spray Lance Nozzle: Adjust the spray pattern from a concentrated jet to a wide fan by rotating the nozzle head. This allows for both high-pressure cleaning and gentle rinsing.
- Cyclone Jet Nozzle: Provides a powerful rotating jet for stubborn dirt and grime.
- Foam Nozzle: Attach the foam nozzle to apply detergent. Fill the foam bottle with appropriate detergent and attach it to the trigger gun.
- Cleaning: Hold the trigger gun firmly and maintain a safe distance from the surface being cleaned. Adjust the spray pattern and pressure as needed for different tasks.
- Stopping Operation: Release the trigger to stop the water flow. Turn the power switch to 'OFF' after use.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following table before contacting customer support:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water pressure or low pressure | Water supply off or restricted; clogged filter; air in pump; clogged nozzle. | Check water supply; clean filter; bleed air from pump by running with trigger open until steady flow; clean nozzle with cleaning pin. |
| Motor stops during operation | Overheating (thermal overload); power supply issue. | Allow unit to cool down (approx. 1 hour if used continuously for 1 hour); check power connection and circuit breaker. |
| Water leaks from connections | Loose connections; worn O-rings. | Tighten all connections; replace worn O-rings. |
| Unit does not start | Power cord not connected; power switch off; no power from outlet. | Connect power cord; turn power switch on; check outlet with another device. |
