1. Starting the Unit: Once connected to water and power, press the trigger on the pistol grip to start the motor and water flow. Release the trigger to stop the motor (automatic start/stop system).
2. Using the Vario Nozzle: This nozzle allows you to adjust the spray pattern from a concentrated jet to a wide fan spray by twisting the nozzle head. Ideal for various surfaces and cleaning intensities.
3. Using the Turbo Mill Nozzle: This nozzle provides a rotating point jet, offering maximum cleaning power for stubborn dirt on robust surfaces like concrete or stone.
4. Detergent Application: To apply detergent, ensure the detergent tank is filled. Switch the nozzle to a low-pressure setting (usually by twisting the Vario nozzle to its widest fan setting or using a dedicated detergent nozzle if provided). The unit will automatically mix detergent with the water.
5. Cleaning Technique: Always start cleaning from a distance and gradually move closer to the surface to avoid damage. Work from top to bottom on vertical surfaces.
6. Shutting Down: Turn off the water supply, then press the trigger on the pistol grip to release any remaining pressure. Turn off the power and unplug the unit.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your high-pressure cleaner.

• Nozzle Cleaning: If the spray pattern becomes irregular or weak, use the provided nozzle cleaning needle to clear any blockages from the nozzle opening.
• Water Inlet Filter: Regularly check and clean the water inlet filter (strainer) to prevent debris from entering the pump.
• Draining Water: Before storing, especially in freezing temperatures, ensure all water is drained from the pump, hose, and accessories to prevent damage. Run the unit for a few seconds without water supply until no more water comes out.
• Cleaning the Unit: Wipe down the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the high-pressure cleaner in a dry, frost-free location. Utilize the practical holders for cables and accessories to keep everything organized.
