Before Using
Charging Procedure
The battery charger supplied matches the lithium-ion battery installed in the tool. Do not use other battery chargers.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging. When the battery is empty, a protective circuit will automatically switch OFF the machine.
Charge the battery for up to 1.5 hours then use it until it runs down. Recharge for up to 1.5 hours again before resuming operation.
The pressure washer is equipped with a battery capacity indicator. To check the battery capacity, push the button
(Fig. 5). The charge indicator system indicates the battery status of the pressure washer as the table shows below.
Battery Charging
The battery in this pressure washer has been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, it will eventually wear out. To obtain the longest possible battery
life, we suggest the following:
• Store and charge your pressure washer in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
• Never store the pressure washer with the battery in a
discharged condition. Recharge the unit before storage.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature is, the faster they lose their charge. If you store your pressure washer for long periods of time without using it, recharge the battery every 6 months. This will extend battery life.
To increase the battery life, do not recharge the unit immediately if it's stopped working. Wait for 30 minutes to begin the charging process.
NOTE: The pressure washer has been shipped in a low charge condition and should be fully charged before use.
1. Plug the charger into the charging socket of the pressure washer. Connect the charger plug into an appropriate AC

Starting + Stopping
mIMPORTANT! This pressure washer is equipped with
a micro-switch sensitive to water ow. This Total Stop System (TSS) senses water ow in the pump. When the trigger is released, water stops owing through the pump. The TSS then automatically turns the motor o to protect the pump from
overheating, thus saving energy and prolonging pump life.
1. Position the washer as CLOSE as possible to the water supply or the water bladder.
2. The washer must be used on a secure and stable surface in a standing, upright position (Fig. 13).
3. If connected with tap water, turn the water supply tap on completely.
4. Unlock the safety lock, then press the trigger for a
few seconds until the water ow is steady. Operating
the pressure washer in this manner will allow air to escape and discharge residual pressure in the hose (Fig. 14). Release the trigger after all residual pressure is discharged.
