of the Pressure Washer, ensure that the machine is
completely switched off and the engine is cool
. Also ensure
that the engine and water supply is turned off after each task.
- This pressure washer has been designed for use with specific
detergents such as neutral shampoo based on biodegradable
anionic surface active detergents. Please check before using
other detergents of chemicals as they may cause damage to
the appliance.
-
Take care when using on mechanical parts that contain grease
as it will dissolve and can spread over the ground surrounding
the appliance. To avoid this happening, do not direct the
nozzle towards these parts.
-
Ensure a minimum distance of 50cm is kept when cleaning
vehicle tyres due to the high pressure of the machine.
-
For safety reasons, do not point the high pressure jets at
animals, people, live electrical parts or the appliance itself.
-
Only use accessories such as high pressure hoses and
connections specified by the manufacturer.
-
To avoid causing injury or damage to property, do not operate
the appliance until the nozzle is installed securely as high
pressure can cause water to be fired from the lance with
extreme force.
-
Coverings such as paint and other surface treatment may be
removed if a high pressure jet is used. Damage may also be
caused to tarmac and grouting between paving slabs.
-
Ensure that the machine is switched off completely when
unattended.
-
Although the high pressure hose has been manufactured to
