APPLICATIONS
○ Cleans screen doors, window glass, fl oors, walls, etc.
○ Cleans automobiles, motorbikes, etc.
○ Cleans mud off gardening equipment and agricultural
equipment.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Installation of an earth leakage circuit breaker
It is recommended that an earth leakage circuit breaker
is connected to the washer to shut off the power if leaking
current exceeds 30 mA for 30 milliseconds in order to
prevent electric shocks.
2. Keep the work area neat and tidy
Dirty water will be sprayed about when using the washer.
It is therefore necessary to check the area to make sure
there are no hindrances, and keep the work area neat
and tidy.
3. Situating the washer
Select fl at locations where the washer will not be
splashed with water when cleaning.
4. Using extension cords
Make sure the cord is thick enough to provide a constant
supply of electricity, and use cords that are as short as
possible.
Acceptable cord thicknesses (Nominal cross sectional
area cable) and cord length are indicated in the table
below.

5. Attaching the gun holder (Fig. 1)
Align the groove on the gun holder with the protrusion on
the washer and push until it clicks into place.
6. Prepare a water feed hose (Fig. 2)
Prepare the following when using water feed hoses:
○ Hoses that can withstand pressure (equipped with
meshes)
○ Hoses with an inner diameter of 14 to 15 mm.
○ Hoses with an outer diameter of 20 mm or less.
7. Attaching the gun support (Fig. 3)
(1) Press the protrusion on the gun support into the long hole
on the washer at an angle shown in the illustration.
(2) Firmly screw the screw supplied into the screw hole with
a Phillips screwdriver.
8. Attaching the hose handle (Fig. 4)
(1) Insert the hose handle into the attachment hole on the
washer.
(2) Press down while rotating it until it reaches a position
approximately 15 mm deep.
(3) Continue to press down and rotate it until it clicks into
place at approximately 15 mm deep.

1. Check to make sure the switch is at the "OFF"
position (Fig. 5)
Plugging the washer into the power socket with the
switch set at "ON" will cause the washer to immediately
begin operating, which may result in unexpected injuries.
2. Check the power supply
Only use a rated voltage.
Do not use motor engines are direct current. Failure to
observe this will not only result in damage to the washer,
it is also very dangerous.
3. Check the power socket
If the power socket is loose or the plug is easily dislodged,
it needs to be repaired.
It is dangerous to use it in this condition. Consult with
your local electrical engineering outlet.
ATTACHING PARTS
Make sure all parts are correctly attached in the following
sequence in order to guarantee safe usage.
WARNING
Switch off the washer and disconnect it from the power
socket without fail to prevent unexpected accidents.
1. Attach the water feed connector to the water feed
inlet on the washer (Fig. 6)
Remove the cap on the washer's water feed inlet and
fi rmly attach the water feed connector.
Loose connections may result in water leaks.
2. Pull the high-pressure hose from the hose reel
(Fig. 7)
Pull the entire length of the high-pressure hose from the
reel while steadying the reel to prevent it from toppling
over.
NOTE
Using the washer with part of the hose wrapped around
the reel may result in insuffi cient pressure or abnormal
vibrations.
3. Attach the high-pressure hose to the trigger gun.
(Fig. 8)
Grip the thick end of the high-pressure hose, insert it into
the connector on the trigger gun, and then rotate the ring
on the hose to fi x it in place.
NOTE
○ Moisten the O-ring with water to facilitate the connection
if it is diffi cult to insert the hose.
○ If the ring cannot be tightened, it means that the end of
the high-pressure hose has not been suffi cient inserted.
4. Attach the nozzle to the trigger gun.
<Attachment (Fig. 9)>
(1) Align the protrusion on the nozzle with the entry hole on
the trigger gun and press it into place.
NOTE
○ Remove all dirt, mud and other matter from the trigger
gun's entry hole and the protrusion on the nozzle.
○ Moisten the O-ring with water to facilitate the connection
if it is diffi cult to insert the nozzle.
(2) Press down fi rmly on the nozzle and then rotate it in the
direction of the arrow until it stops (half rotation.)
(3) Check to make sure that the nozzle cannot be pulled out
once it has been attached.
<Detachment (Fig. 10)>
Press down fi rmly on the nozzle and then rotate it counter-
clockwise until it stops. The nozzle can be withdrawn at
that position.
