Always use two hands when operating a pressure washer. This will assure
complete control of the equipment.

Always test the GFCI plug prior to using the cleaner.
Never test the pressure of the cleaner against any part of the body.
Use the trigger lock whenever the spray gun is not being used for cleaning.
Always seek emergency medical care immediately if any fl uid penetrates the

skin. A cut may be deeper and more serious than it appears.

ENERAL RULES

3.1.1 The USE and MAINTENANCE manual constitutes an essential
part of the cleaner equipment and should be kept in a safe place
for future reference. If you sell the cleaner, the manual should
be handed on to the new owner.

3.1.2 Before starting the cleaner, make sure that it is receiving water
correctly. Operating the cleaner without water could damage
the seals.

3.1.3 Do not disconnect the plug by pulling on the electrical cable.

3.1.4 If you are too far from the object you wish to clean, do not move
the cleaner nearer by pulling on the high pressure hose; use the
handle provided.

3.1.5 Protect the cleaner from freezing during the winter. Store in a
warm area.

3.1.6 Do not obstruct the ventilation grilles during operation.

3.1.7 The cross-section of any extension cord used must be

proportional to their length, i.e., the longer the extension
cord, the greater the cross-section; cables with a protection
level of “IPX5” must be used. See table A.

3.1.8 Position the cleaner AS NEAR AS POSSIBLE to the water
supply.

3.1.9 The packaging is easily recyclable, and must be disposed of
in compliance with the regulations in force in the country of
installation.

3.1.10 Use the cleaner only with accessories and replacement parts
authorized by the manufacturer. The use of original accessories
and replacement parts will ensure safe, trouble-free operation.

3.1.11 The cleaner must be used standing on a secure, stable surface,
positioned as shown.

3.2 Intended Use

3.2.1 The cleaner is intended only for the cleaning of vehicles,
machines, boats, buildings, etc., by the removal of stubborn dirt
using clean water and chemical detergents.

3.2.2 When using chemical detergents, only use biodegradable types.
We recommend HOBBY – FOAM detergent (#3206).

3.2.3 Only clean vehicle engines in areas in which suitable oil traps
are installed.

3.3 Safety Valve

3.3.1 The safety valve also functions as a pressure-limiting valve.
When the gun trigger is released, the safety valve opens and
the water recirculates through the pump inlet. Never try to
adjust this valve.

Extension cords: up to 50’ = 14AWG; 50’ to 100’ = 12AWG wire required.

6.3 Long periods of non-use may lead to the formation of lime scale
deposits. Working through the hole on the
rear, RELEASE the motor using a screwdriver
(for models with this feature). Then remove
the screwdriver and proceed with the restart
operations. - Except for the Extreme -

6.4 Clean the nozzle with the tool provided.
Remove the lance from the gun; remove any dirt from the
nozzle hole and rinse.

4.3 Connect the high-pressure hose to the water (OUTLET) on the
cleaner.

4.4 Connect the water supply hose.

(not supplied) to the water (INLET)

of the cleaner. The supply hose
must have an internal diameter of at
least 13 mm (1/2 in.) and must be
reinforced. The water supply must
be at least equal to the cleaner
delivery capacity.

The intake water temperature must NOT exceed 60° C

(122°F). The water supply pressure must NOT exceed 10
BAR (145 PSI).

4.4.1 CAUTION! The cleaner must only be used with clean
water; use of unfi ltered water or corrosive chemicals will
damage the cleaner.

4.5 Turn the motor switch to the “0” position.

4.6 Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency (Volts/
Hz) correspond those specifi ed on the cleaner data plate.

4.6.1 If the motor stops and fails to restart, wait 2 to 3 minutes before
restarting. THERMAL CUTOUT TRIPPED AND MUST COOL
BEFORE RESTARTING.

AR610 models: These cleaners are packaged with a red shipping plug in the
pump crankcase, this red plug must be removed and the black dipstick cap
installed.

5. U

5.1 Turn on the water supply to FULL fl ow.

5.2 Release the safety catch, then

press the trigger for a few
seconds to allow air to escape
and to discharge residual
pressure in the pipes.

5.3 Pull the spray gun trigger; push the switch to
start the motor.

5.3.1 When re-starting the motor, always keep the
spray gun trigger compressed.

TSS Models: In TSS models, with automatic delivery fl ow

cut-off: when the trigger is released, the
dynamic pressure automatically cuts out
the motor. When the trigger is compressed
the pressure drop automatically starting the
motor and the pressure is restored with a very slight delay.

For correct operation of the TSS, once the trigger has been

released it must not be pressed again for at least 4 – 5
seconds. For correct use of the TSS model cleaner, do not
leave the unit in automatic cut-off status for more than 15 min.

5.6 Correct Use of the Rotary Nozzle (Where fi tted)

5.6.1 For increased washing power, use the rotary nozzle kit as
follows:

5.6.2 Turn off the high pressure cleaner.

5.6.3 Unscrew the adjustable head and fi t the rotary nozzle onto the
lance.

5.6.4 Turn the high pressure cleaner back on.

5.7 Recommended Cleaning Procedure

5.7.1 Dissolve dirt by applying detergent with the fan jet to the dry
surface.

On vertical surfaces, work from the bottom upwards. Leave

the detergent to act for 1 to 2 minutes, but do not allow to dry
out. Apply the high preesure jet, keeping the nozzle at least 10
in. from the surface, working from the bottom upwards. Avoid
allowing the rinsing water to run on the unwashed surfaces.

5.4 Using Detergent

5.4.1 CAUTION: liquid detergent must be sprayed at low pressure.
See 5.5 “Proper use of standard accessoreis.”

5.4.2 Fill the detergent tank to the level indicated
through the inlet.

5.4.3 Select LOW PRESSURE (see instructions);
the detergent will be sucked up and mixed with
the water, with the suction rate regulated by the knob provided.
(Model not fi tted with detergent control knob).

5.4.4 Now distribute the detergent drawn in and mixed with water.

5.5 Correct Use of standard accessories. (Where fi tted)

5.5.1 The cleaner is equipped with the adjustable nozzle, which
provides some important functions:

5.5.2 LOW PRESSURE operation (fur suction and spraying of
dtergent).

5.5.3 HIGH PRESSURE operation (for high pressure wahsing and
rinsing).

5.5.4 Jet adjustment from pencil to fan. (For models with this
feature).

5.8 Storage

5.8.1 Switch off the cleaner.

5.8.2 Turn off the water supply tap.

5.8.3 After use, the detergent residues should be removed from the
tank.

5.8.4 Discharge residual pressure by pressing the trigger until no
more water comes out of the adjustable nozzle.

5.8.5 Engage the gun safety catch.

5.8.6 Remove the plug from the socket.

5.8.7 Operate the cleaner with non-corrosive/non-toxic antifreeze
before storing for the winter.

6 M

AINTENANCE

6.1 CAUTION! Before working on the cleaner, disconnect the plug
from the power supply socket.

6.2 To ensure good performance, check and clean the suction and

detergent fi lters after every 50 hours of operation.
