source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the equipment. Stay alert,
watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating
equipment. Do not use equipment while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating equipment
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a respirator, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Ensure the equipment is switched off
before connecting a to power source,
picking up or carrying the equipment.
Carrying equipment with your finger on
the switch or energising equipment that
have the switch may invite accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the equipment on. Do not
overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the equipment in unexpected
situations. If devices are provided for
the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards. Never touch the mains plug
and the socket with wet hands. This
(appliance / equipment / product) is not
intended for use by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities. Do not use the appliance
when there are other persons around
unless they are also wearing safety
equipment. Keep packaging film away
from children - risk of suffocation! The
operator must use the appliance
correctly. When working with the
appliance, he must consider the local
conditions and pay due care and
attention to other persons, in particular
children, who are nearby. If equipped;
high pressure hoses, fixtures and
couplings are important for the safety of

Electrical safety
Electric Shock can kill. Power plugs
must match the outlet. Never modify a
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
equipment. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock. Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded. Do not expose equipment
to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
equipment will increase the risk of
electric shock. Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the equipment. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating any equipment
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock. If operating equipment
in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock. For safety reasons, we
recommend any electrical equipment
that you operate be via a residualcurrent circuit breaker (RCD). Safety
devices protect the user and must not be
modified or bypassed.
Equipment use and care
Do not force the equipment. Use the
correct equipment for your application.
The correct equipment will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it

Nozzle selection
NOTE! Some portable pressure washers come with five nozzle attachments for different uses. Refer to
the diagram (below) and on the pressure washer itself to see which nozzle is applicable for your
purpose.
Turbo nozzle (if equipped)
A turbo nozzle is a very effective tool that can significantly reduce
cleaning time. The turbo nozzle combines the power of a narrow high
impact stream and the efficiency of a 25 degree fan pattern. This
swirls the narrow high impact stream into a cone shape that cleans a
larger area.
CAUTION! A turbo nozzle uses a narrow high impact stream;
only use it in applications where the cleaning surface cannot be
damaged by narrow high impact spray. The turbo nozzle is NOT
adjustable and cannot be used to apply detergent.
Page 11
Twist-adjustable nozzle (if equipped)
The angle of spray coming out of the lance may be adjusted on
some lances by rotating the nozzle. This will vary the spray
pattern from approximately a 0° narrow high impact stream to a
60° wide fan spray (Figure2)
A narrow stream has high impact force on the cleaning surface
and results in maximum deep cleaning in a concentrated area.
However, this narrow high impact spray must be used
cautiously, as it may damage some surfaces (figure 3)
A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact of the water over a
larger area, resulting in excellent cleaning action with a
reduced risk of surface damage, Large surface areas can be
cleaned more quickly using a wide fan pattern (figure 4)
Angle to the cleaning surface
When spraying water against a surface, maximum impact is generated
when the water strikes the surface “head on.” However, this type of
impact tends to cause dirt particles to imbed in the surface, thereby
preventing the desired cleaning action.
The optimum angle for spraying water against a cleaning surface if 45
degrees.
Spraying water against a surface at this angle provides for the most
beneficial impact force combined with efficient removal of debris from
the surface.
Distance from cleaning surface
Another factor that determines the impact force of the water is the distance from the spray nozzle to the
cleaning surface. The impact force of the water is increased as the nozzle is moved closer to the surface.
How to avoid damaging surfaces
Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the impact force of the water exceeds the durability of the
surface. Never use a narrow high impact stream or a turbo/rotary nozzle on a surface that is susceptible to
damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high impact stream or turbo nozzle as this may cause
breakage.
The recommended way to avoid damaging surfaces is as follows:
- Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern.
- Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet from and 45 degrees to the cleaning surface, and trigger
the gun.
- Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning
efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface.

Detergents
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time and assist in the removal of difficult stains.
Some detergents have been customised for pressure washer use on specific cleaning tasks. These
detergents are approximately as thick as water. The use of thicker detergents, such as dish soap, will clog
the chemical injection system and prevent the application of the detergent. The cleaning power of
detergents comes from applying them to a surface and giving the chemicals time to break down the dirt and
grime. Detergents work best when applied at low pressure. The combination of chemical action and high
pressure rinsing is very effective. On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom and work
your way upward. This will prevent the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks. High pressure
rinsing should also progress from the bottom to top. On particularly tough stains, it may be necessary to
use a brush in combination with detergents and high pressure rinsing.
The following cleaning procedure will help you to organize your cleaning task, and ensure that you achieve
the most beneficial results in the shortest amount of time. Remember to use the spraying/cleaning
techniques previously listed.
Detergent Application
IMPORTANT! Only use the instructions appropriate for model purchased.
NOTE! Use only detergents formulated for pressure washes.
NOTE! Test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
For Units with Detergent Applicator Included; follow manufacturer’s
label directions for mixing correct concentrations of detergent to water
ratio through the pressure washer is approximately 5.4% (1 part
detergent to 19 parts water).
NOTE! Some pressure washers have a built in detergent container,
others have a separate gun attachment for this purpose.
1. Unscrew to top of detergent applicator and fill applicator with detergent.
2. Replace top on applicator.
3. Remove lance from gun.
4. Attach detergent applicator to gun, if equipped (See below).
5. Apply detergent so it thoroughly covers cleaning surface. Apply from bottom to top to prevent
detergent from sliding down and streaking.
6. Allow detergent to remain on the surface for a few minutes. This is a good time to use a brush to
lightly scrub heavily soiled areas. Never allow detergent to dry on the cleaning surface.
7. Remove detergent applicator from gun and replace with the lance, or remove applicator from end
of lance.
8. Rinse detergent from surface.
NOTE! Flush detergent applicator with clear water following each use.
Page 13
Initial High Pressure Rinse
Spray the cleaning surface with water to clear off any dirt or grime that may have collected on the surface.
This will allow your detergent to attack the deep down dirt that has worked its way into the cleaning surface.
Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern and slowly adjust to the desired spray
pattern. This will help you avoid applying too much concentrated spray to the surface which could cause
damage.
Final Rinse
Start final rinse from the bottom of your item and work your way upward. Make sure you thoroughly rinse
the surface and that all detergent has been removed.
1. Shut down
2. Be sure all detergent is flushed from system.
3. Turn off motor.
4. Turn off water supply.
5. After motor and water supply are turned off, trigger gun to depressurize system.
DANGER! Never turn water supply off before turning motor off. Serious damage could occur to the
pump and/ or motor.
DANGER! Never disconnect high pressure discharge hose from machine while system is pressurized.
To depressurize, turn motor off, turn water supply off and squeeze gun trigger times.
Storage
Do not store pressure washer outdoors or where it might freeze.
Tips for extending the life of your pressure washer;
• Never operate unit without water.
• Pressure washer is not meant to pump hot water. Never connect to warm water supply – this will
significantly reduce life of the pump.
•Using the wrong detergent other than recommended may cause damage to pump components (O-
rings, etc.).This also applies to chemicals such as bleach, dish soap, etc.
•Before adjusting a nozzles pressure (high-to-low or low-to-high) release trigger. Failure to do so will
reduce life of O-rings in lance.
NOTE! When the pressure washer is not being operated or is being stored more than one month, it is
recommended that you turn off and disconnect the power.
Page 14
Maintenance
Nozzle cleaning instructions
NOTE! A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause a significant reduction of water coming out of
the nozzle and cause the unit to pulsate while spraying.
To clean out the nozzle:
1. Turn off and unplug unit.
2. Turn off water supply. Relieve any pressure trapped in the
hose by squeezing trigger 2-3 times.
3. Separate lance from gun.
4. Rotate nozzle to the narrow stream setting. This opens up
the fan blades.
5. Using included tip cleaner, or an unfolded paper clip,
insert wire into the nozzle hole and move back and forth
until debris is dislodged. (See image)
6. Remove additional debris by back-flushing water through
the nozzle. To do this, place end of a garden hose (with
water running) to end of nozzle for 30-60 seconds.
Water screen
Some pressure washers are equipped with a water inlet screen to protect the pump. If the screen is not
kept clean, it will restrict the flow of water to the pressure washer and may cause damage to the pump.
•The screen is fragile so be careful when cleaning or removing it. Any foreign particles entering the
pump may damage it.
• Do not operate the pressure washer without the screen in place (if originally equipped.)
• Remove the screen and back-flush to remove impurities from the screen.
• Replace afterwards immediately
