also result in personal injury.
SAFETY
Before attempting to operate this pressure washer the
following basic safety precautions should be taken to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
It is important to read the instruction manual and to
understand applications, limitations and potential hazards
associated with this pressure washer. It is important that
you read, understand and follow these instructions very
carefully. This pressure washer is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
BEWARE OF CHILDREN & PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the operating
area. Children should not be allowed to touch or operate
pressure washers. All pressure washers should be kept out
of reach of children. When NOT in use keep the pressure
washer preferably stored or locked in a secure well
ventilated cabinet or room with the fuel tank empty.
FUEL - UNLEADED 91 PETROL
(NO ETHANOL)
Fuel used in this pressure washer is poisonous. Always
wear approved breathing protection when decanting
fuel. If you get any fuel on your skin or clothes wash the
affected area immediately with soap and water and change
your clothes. If you get fuel in your eyes wash immediately
with clean water and seek medical attention. If any fuel
is swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting, seek immediate
medical attention.
WORK AREA
Work areas and benches should be kept tidy. Cluttered
benches and work areas can cause accidents. Floors should
be kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care should
be taken when the floor is slippery due to water. Always
leave sufficient distance, at least 1 metre between the
pressure washer and flammable materials. As this pressure
washer uses a petrol engine, only run the pressure washer
outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
ALWAYS use your pressure washer in an open well
ventilated area. Do not expose your pressure washer
to rain. Do not expose your pressure washer to direct
sunlight. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use your
pressure washer in areas where there is a risk of explosion
or fire from combustible materials, flammable liquids,
paint, varnish, petrol, etc flammable gases and dust of an
explosive nature. As a precaution it is recommended that
you consult an expert on selecting and using a suitable fire
extinguisher and have it available for use in an emergency
when operating the pressure washer.
SELECT A PRESSURE WASHER WITH A
SUFFICIENT RATING
Select the right pressure washer for the job. Do not use a
pressure washer to do a job for which it was not designed.
Do not force a small pressure washer to do the job of
a heavy duty pressure washer. Any damage caused by
overloading will void the warranty. Do not use pressure
washers for purposes not intended.
HOT COMPONENTS
Beware many of the components will get hot during use.
Never touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as
these may burn. In particular ensure that the high pressure
hose does not touch the hot muffler during use or when
storing as it will damage the high pressure hose and this
will not be covered under warranty.
MAINTAIN YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
WITH CARE
When not using your pressure washer ensure the fuel tap
is ‘OFF’. Never leave the fuel tap ‘ON’ as this can damage
the carburettor. Follow the instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Keep handles clean, dry and free
from oil and grease. Ensure that ventilation slots are kept
clean and free from dust at all times. Blocked ventilation
slots can cause overheating and damage to the motor.

while it is still running. As a precaution, it is recommended
that an expert is consulted on obtaining and using a
suitable fire extinguisher.
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage may occur if nozzle is used too close to appliance

checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function.
Check for broken or missing parts and have them replaced

• Clean as per “cleaning”
If the pressure washer is not to be used or is to be
stored for more than one month the following storage
procedure should be carried out. Drain all the fuel from
the fuel tank and the carburettor, ensure that all the fuel
has been drained.
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately one
tablespoon full of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole.
With the ignition turned OFF gently pull on the recoil
starter cord several times. Re-fit the spark plug and
continue to pull the recoil starter cord until the piston
is on the compression stroke (when resistance is felt)
then stop pulling.
Store the pressure washer in a dry well ventilated
place under a cover to prevent any dust or debris from
accumulating on the pressure washer.

CLEANING TIPS
Deck Cleaning - with or without detergent
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water.
If using deck wash, place detergent suction tube directly
into cleaning solution and apply to surface at low pressure.
For best results, limit your work area to smaller sections of
approximately 2m
1-3 minutes. For stubborn dirt/stains you can use a patio
cleaner head (not supplied).
Do not allow detergent to dry on surface.
Rinse at high pressure in a long sweeping motion keeping
the spray nozzle approximately 75mm to 150mm from the
cleaning surface. Always clean from top to bottom and
from left to right.
When moving on to a new section of the cleaning surface,
be sure to overlap the previous section to eliminate stop
marks and ensure a more even cleaning result.
House Siding - with or without detergent
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If using house
wash, place detergent suction tube directly into cleaning
solution and apply to surface at low pressure (for best
results, limit your work area to sections of approximately
2m wide and always apply detergent from bottom to top).
Allow house wash to remain on surface 1-3 minutes.
Do not allow detergent to dry on surface, if surface
appears to be drying, simply wet down surface with
fresh water.
If needed, use special cyclone nozzle attachment (not
supplied ) to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at high pressure
from top to bottom in an even sweeping motion keeping
the spray nozzle approximately 150mm from the
cleaning surface.
Cement Patios, Brick & Stone - with or without
detergent
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water,
If using all purpose cleaner, place detergent suction tube
directly into cleaning solution and apply to surface at low
pressure. For best results, limit your work area to smaller
sections of approximately 2m
remain on surface 1-3 minutes.
Do not allow detergent to dry on surface.
Rinse at high pressure in a sweeping motion keeping the
spray nozzle approximately 75mm to 150mm from the
cleaning surface. Always clean from top to bottom and
from left to right. For removing extremely stubborn stains,
use dirt blaster nozzle.

Cars, Boats & Motorcycles - with or without
detergent
Pre-rinse vehicle with fresh water. If using vehicle wash,
place detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution
and apply to surface at low pressure.
For best results, clean one side of vehicle at a time and
always apply detergent from bottom to top, do not allow
detergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high pressure in a
sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately
150mm to 200mm from the cleaning surface (distance
should increase with in rinsing pin-striping or other
sensitive surfaces).
Always clean from top to bottom and from left to right.
