Preparing the PEGASO
Steam Operation:

1. Plug cable into a wall outlet. NOTE: Do NOT use
multi-outlet power-boards and avoid using low­quality extension cables.

2. Open water tank
filler cap (

i), fill

tank with clean tap
water up to the
line indicator on
the left-side panel
(

iv) then close filler

cap. NOTE: Do NOT
use de-mineralised water, do
NOT fill above maximum line
indicator (

iv) and do NOT fill

with any chemicals.

3. Turn PEGASO on using the
ON/OFF switch (

a), making sure

the “ON” LED (

o) lights up and the machine beeps

straight away.

4. Press the ‘Boiler Switch’ button on
the display (

c) to start the boiler. After

approx. 10 minutes the digital display
(

b) showing the boiler temperature

should show a temperature at or
slightly above 170C and the pressure
gauge (

p) shows “8 bar”. This means

that the steam function is ready to use.

5. Connect hose to the PEGASO by opening the
protective plastic flap located on the front of the
machine (v) and pushing the plug end of the hose in
with the “doman” imprint on the top side of the
hose until it clicks.

Proceed to “Vacuum Operation” and/or “Detergent

Operation” section if you are planning on using the vacuum
and/or detergent functions together with the steam
functions.

Vacuum Operation:

Locate the vacuum
switch (

S) on the

vacuum head unit (

iii)

and turn it on.

NOTE: The vacuum
bucket can be cleaned
by detaching the bucket from the vacuum head
through the latch that holds it. Always make sure the
bucket is fitted properly to ensure that the contents
will not disperse to your surroundings.

Detergent Operation:

1. Open
detergent tank
filler cap (

ii).

2. Fill tank with
the diluted 101
degreaser
solution until it
reaches up to
the line indicator on the right-side panel (

vi). NOTE:

We recommend using Steam Australia’s 101
degreaser or similar to ensure it does not impact
machine operation and/or cause adverse health
issues.

3. Replace the detergent filler cap (

ii) before

operating.

Hose Handle Operations
Steam Function:

1. After approx. 8-10 minutes, check that the
pressure gauge reaches “7.5 bar” and the digital
display shows that the boiler temperature reaches at
or above 170C.

2. If the PEGASO makes a beeping noise and the “Tank
Level” LED (

d) flashes, proceed to Step 2 of “Preparing

the PEGASO | Steam Operations” (page 1).

3. For S/V Hose, press and hold the trigger (

T) to

activate the steam function. For S/O Hose, toggle the
steam on/off switch (

h) to activate an automatic

stream.

4. Adjust the steam level from the knob (e). Turning
counter-clockwise will increase steam level, turning
clockwise will decrease it.

WARNING: Do NOT operate hose with steam nozzle
pointing at persons, animals or electrical machinery
/equipment/outlets/sensors that are sensitive to
water and heat (especially near fire alarm sensors).

Vacuum Function:

1. Plug the S/V Hose to the PEGASO.

2. Press the vacuum button (

f) to engage the vacuum

function. The vacuum will turn on and you will feel
suction from the vacuum nozzle.

NOTE: Ensure that you regularly empty out the
contents of the vacuum waste bucket for a smooth
operation and clean the HEPA filter located under the
vacuum head inside of the bucket if it is very stained.
Use soapy warm water to wash the HEPA filter, rinse
and let dry before re-installing.

Detergent Function:
Press and hold the detergent button ((

g) for S/V Hose,

(

k) for S/O Hose) to activate the detergent function.

If the detergent runs low in the PEGASO, the hoses
will stop spraying detergent. This is noticeable when
using the steam function in conjunction with the
detergent function as only the drier steam sprays out
the nozzle when the detergent function is activated.

Proceed to Step 1 – 3 of “Preparing the PEGASO |
Detergent Operation” (page 1) if this happens.

Warning Lights

The PEGASO will make a beeping noise and a red LED
light will flash when the water tank’s level is low:

For water tank low level, refer to Step 2 of “Preparing
the PEGASO | Steam Operations” (page 1).

Cleaning the PEGASO

Draining the PEGASO’s boiler once a month ensures
that the machine operates at optimal performance.

WARNING: Ensure machine has cooled down before
attempting to clean out the boiler by checking that
the machine doesn’t feel warm on the bottom part
and machine is free from any pressure.

You will need:

- A pan or container that can hold at least 5 litres of
water

- A rag

- 8mm Allen Key

1. Ensure the machine isn’t plugged into a power
source and the machine doesn’t feel warm (no
pressure present).

2. Locate the stainless steel boiler plug underneath
the PEGASO and position the PEGASO on top of a pan
or container.

3. Using the 8mm Allen key, unscrew the boiler plug
by slowly turning counter-clockwise. You may need to
use a rag to hold the plug as you unscrew the plug by
hand after loosening using the socket wrench. Let the
water drain, then screw the plug back on and tighten
with supplied socket wrench.
