- Connect Water Inlet: Attach the water connector with filter to the pressure washer's water inlet. Then, connect your garden hose to this connector. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
- Connect High-Pressure Hose: Connect one end of the 5-meter high-pressure hose to the front outlet of the pressure washer and the other end to the high-pressure gun. Tighten firmly.
- Assemble Lance to Gun: Attach the extension lance to the high-pressure gun, then connect the adjustable lance to the extension lance. Ensure all connections are secure. Your pressure washer is now ready for use!
Important: Before turning on the power, ensure the water supply is fully open and water is flowing through the system to prevent damage to the pump.
6. Operating Instructions
General Operation
- Ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is on.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Turn on the pressure washer using the power switch.
- Squeeze the trigger on the high-pressure gun to start the water flow.
- Adjust the spray pattern by rotating the adjustable lance nozzle.
- To apply detergent, fill the detergent bottle and attach it to the gun. The pressure washer will automatically draw detergent when operating at low pressure (usually achieved by rotating the nozzle to the widest spray or a specific detergent setting if available).
AutoStop Technology
The TRENT HLT319 features AutoStop technology, which automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger is released. This conserves energy, protects the motor from overheating, and extends the lifespan of the unit.
