Intended Use

Pressure washer for general, light to medium duty cleaning tasks on vehicles, buildings and other
suitable surfaces, using a jet of cold, pressurised water, with or without detergent .

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your product . Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the product are present and in good condition . If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this product

Before Use

• Always check all parts and attachments are secure, and that hoses are not kinked or obstructed
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment for the job at hand . Use of this appliance
requires safety goggles and waterproof clothing
• Always use an RCD when connecting a pressure washer to the mains with a tripping current of no
more than 30mA, and a delay in operating of no more than 30ms
• Make sure mains connection points are out of reach of the pressure washer water spray and any
water that may collect on surrounding surfaces
• Only use a mains extension cable suitable for outdoor use and capable of carrying the required
current for this product . The cable must be protected against water ingress and maintain water-
tight connections where it connects to the pressure washer
10
• This product must be earthed and any extension cables used must have an earth connection
• Always use the pressure washer vertically and make sure it is used on a flat, level surface
Assembly
• Do not connect the pressure washer to the water or electrical supply until fully assembled and
ready for use
• Remove all packaging materials from the product
Hooks & holders
• Slide the Lance Bracket (8) down onto the side clip (Fig. I)
• Slide the Nozzle Rest (7) back onto the clip (Fig. II) and fix with the supplied screw
• Slide the Power Cord Hook (4) down onto the side clip (Fig. III)
Lance
• Assemble the Lance by connecting the Nozzle (19) shaft to the lance extension shaft, and these to
the lance handle (Image A)
• To do this, insert the Nozzle Bayonet Connector (21) into the Lance Extension Bayonet Socket
(22), then push and rotate to lock into place (Image B)
• Insert the Lance Extension Bayonet Connector (23) into the Lance Handle Bayonet Socket (14),
then push and rotate to lock into place (Image C)
Note: When not in use, the assembled lance can be held in the Lance Bracket (8) with the Nozzle
(19) in the Nozzle Rest (7) (Image D) .
High pressure hose
1 . Carefully pull out a length of hose from the High Pressure Hose Reel (1) (Image E)
2 . Attach the end of the hose to the Lance High Pressure Hose Connector (15) (Image F) and screw
the nut on tight
WARNING: If the high pressure hose is damaged it could burst and cause injury . A damaged hose
must be replaced, not repaired . Inspect regularly and prevent the hose from coming into contact
with sharp objects or rough surfaces . After use, always wind the hose back in using the Hose Reel
Handle (2) (Image G then H) .
Connecting to water supply
WARNING: When connecting a pressure washer to a normal domestic water supply, it is important a
non-return valve is fitted to the hose (also called backflow preventer) to ensure the pressure washer
cannot contaminate your water supply if there is a backflow.
1. Remove the plastic cap from the Water Inlet (6) (Fig. IV) and check that the filter inside is clear of
debris or other material; clean if required
2 . Fit the Inlet Hose Connector (25) (Fig . V) and tighten by hand
3 . Connect a hose from your water supply to the Inlet Hose Connector
Notes:
• The specification lists suitable water inlet pressures. A typical, normal UK household water supply
can range from 1–8bar pressure but 2–5bar is more typical . Do not exceed the maximum water
pressure stated in the specification
• If you do not know or are unable to measure the water pressure, keep the pressure low to prevent
damage to the pressure washer . Aim to set the pressure at mid-point between the lowest and
highest pressure accepted by the pressure washer . If preferred, a third party water pressure
gauge is available that connects directly to the tap . This will allow the water pressure to be set
more accurately
• Do not connect to a hot water supply . This will prevent the pump from cooling and may damage
the seals over time
• It is important that a good water connection is maintained while operating a pressure washer as
the pump will be damaged if run without water . Make sure the connections are secure before
switching on the pressure washer
Connecting to other water sources
Note: The pump featured in this pressure washer features a self-priming feature that allows use of
other water sources typically a water butt or other container of captured rain water or similar .
• Ensure the water supply is clean and filtered before entering the pressure washer. Ensure there is
no sediment
• For water butts, where the output is at the bottom, gravity will provide some pressure to assist the
pressure washer
• The hose to the water supply should not exceed 3m in length and the diameter should not be
less than 19mm or ¾"
Filling the detergent bottle
• Remove the cap on the Detergent Bottle (11) and fill with a pressure washer-compatible
detergent if required (Image I)
• The pressure washer is designed to dispense detergent on the low pressure setting, and dispense
clear liquid on the high pressure setting
• The detergent ratio is variable depending on the pressure adjuster setting
