Section B: Connecting Water Supply and Operation

Connecting Water Supply:

Step 1: Connect to Water Tap

Connect a garden hose (not included) to a water tap. Ensure the tap is turned on. The water pressure should not exceed 1 MPa (10 bar) and the water temperature should not exceed 40°C. ? [Diagram shows a garden hose connected to a tap with a filter/adapter. A green checkmark indicates correct connection, a red cross indicates incorrect connection.]

Use the provided adapter to connect the garden hose to the pressure washer's water inlet. ? [Diagram shows adapter connection.]

Step 2: Flush the Hose

Before connecting to the pressure washer, flush the garden hose to remove any debris. [Diagram shows water flowing from two hoses.]

Step 3: Connect Hose to Pressure Washer

Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Turn the connector clockwise until it is secure. [Diagram shows hose connection to the unit.]

Step 4: Connect Spray Lance to Hose

Connect the high-pressure hose to the spray gun. Push and twist until it locks. [Diagram shows high-pressure hose connection to the spray gun.]

Step 7: Adjust Power

Use the Power Control dial on the unit to adjust the water pressure. Settings range from 0 (off/standby) to 3 (maximum power). ⚙️ [Diagram shows the Power Control dial with settings 0-3.]

Step 8: Select Nozzle

Choose the appropriate nozzle for the cleaning task. Different nozzles offer different spray patterns and power levels.

• Gentle Nozzle: For delicate surfaces. Power settings 1-2.
• Rough Nozzle: For tougher dirt. Power settings 2-3.
• Patio Cleaner: For cleaning patios and large areas. Power settings 2-3.
• Soft Brush: For gentle cleaning with detergent. Power settings 2-3.

[Diagrams show different nozzles and their recommended power settings.]

Step 9: Cleaning

Direct the spray at the surface to be cleaned. Move the spray gun in a steady motion. [Diagram shows person operating the pressure washer.]

Section C: Alternative Water Supply (from Container)

Connecting to a Container:

Step 1: Submerge Inlet Filter

Place the inlet filter (not included) into a water container (e.g., bucket, tank). The water depth should be a maximum of 0.5 meters, and the water temperature a maximum of 20°C. The hose diameter should be a minimum of 1/2 inch. ? [Diagram shows a filter submerged in a bucket of water.]

Connect the garden hose to the filter and then to the pressure washer's water inlet. Ensure correct connection. [Diagram shows hose connection with correct/incorrect indicators.]

Step 2: Connect Hose to Unit

Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Turn the connector clockwise until secure. [Diagram shows hose connection.]

Operation:

Step 3: Activate Spray Gun

Connect the spray gun and lance. Squeeze the trigger to start. Use the Power Control dial as described in Section B. [Diagrams show connections and trigger operation.]

Step 4: Adjust Power and Spray

Adjust the Power Control dial and use the spray gun. [Diagrams show power dial and water spray.]
