Safety Instructions
Always observe basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
- Ensure the power supply matches the voltage specified on the pressure washer's rating label.
- Do not operate the pressure washer in the rain or near flammable liquids or gases.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and gloves.
- Never direct the water jet at people, animals, electrical equipment, or the unit itself.
- Disconnect the power plug from the socket before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
Setup and Assembly
Before first use, assemble the pressure washer components as follows:
- Attach the High-Pressure Hose: Connect the 5-meter high-pressure hose to the pressure washer's outlet and the spray gun. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect a garden hose (not included) to the water inlet of the pressure washer. Ensure the water supply is clean and free of debris. The unit also supports suction from external water sources.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cable into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. The unit features an energy-saving automatic start/stop system, meaning the motor only runs when the spray gun handle is pressed.
- Install Accessories: Select the desired nozzle or accessory (e.g., variable nozzle, turbo nozzle, surface cleaner, cleaning brush) and attach it to the spray lance using the Quick-Connect system. The unit has a convenient integrated holder for nozzles.

Follow these steps for effective cleaning:
- Prepare the Area: Clear the area to be cleaned of any loose debris.

- Start the Unit: Turn the pressure washer's power switch to the 'ON' position. The motor will start when you press the spray gun trigger.
- Apply Detergent (Optional): If using detergent, fill the integrated 1150 ml detergent tank. The unit will automatically mix detergent with the water stream when the appropriate nozzle or setting is selected.
- Begin Cleaning: Hold the spray gun firmly and direct the water jet at the surface to be cleaned. Maintain a safe distance to avoid damaging the surface. Adjust pressure or change nozzles as needed for different cleaning tasks.
