The water inlet is located on the back wall of the washer. The supply hose can be connected to it either directly via a threaded
coupling or via a pre-screwed connector (XII).
Caution! If the water inlet/outlet is protected by a protective cap, it must be removed before the connecting the hose. It is recommend-
ed to keep the cap and install it each time the coupling is not used. This will prevent impurities from entering the water inlet/outlet.
Connecting the washer to a water source
Before connecting the washer to the water source, make sure that the source supplies water under pressure and with the capacity
described in the technical data table. Make sure that the water source valve is closed. If the washer is connected to a drinking
water source, remember to use a separator.
The washer does not have a water suction function, the water source must supply water under pressure.
Connect the washer to the water source using a fl exible hose at least 5 m long.
The hose can be connected directly to the water inlet of the washer by screwing on a threaded coupling or screwing on the con-
nector allowing the use of standard garden hose quick-connect couplings.
After connecting the washer to the water source, open the water source valve and check the connection for leaks.
Starting and stopping the washer
After connecting the washer to the water source and checking the tightness of the connection, make sure that the switch is in the
OFF position and plug the washer power cord plug into the socket.
Make sure that the lance trigger is not pressed. The lance trigger can be locked to prevent accidental pressing (XIII).
Move the switch to the ON position. The washer pump will begin working. Check for leaks in the lance/washer connection, then
direct the lance outlet to a safe place, e.g. to the ground, and pull the trigger holding the lance with both hands. The water will start
coming out from the nozzle outlet.
Caution! If any leaks are detected, immediately turn off the washer using the switch, then unplug the power cord from the outlet,
stop the water supply to the washer, release the pressure of the water in the washer system, and then remove the cause of the
leak. It is forbidden to use a washer with leaks in the water system.
Switch off the washer after fi nishing work, according to the following procedure. Release the pressure on the lance trigger. Turn
off the washer by moving the switch to the OFF position, and then unplug the power cord from the outlet. Stop the water supply
to the washer, then direct the outlet of the lance to a safe place and pull the lance trigger. Wait until the water stops fl owing out of
the lance. This will release the pressure of the water remaining inside the washer. Release the trigger and lock it to prevent unin-
tentional pressing. If the washer is not to be used in the near future, disconnect it from the water source and carry out preparatory
activities before storing the washer.
Working with the pressure washer
The high-pressure water jet is dangerous. Before starting to clean surfaces, make sure that they can be cleaned with a high-pres-
sure water jet.
Never point the water jet at electrical equipment.
Increasing the distance between the nozzle outlet and the cleaned surface reduces the pressure of the water jet on the surface.
Never apply the nozzle outlet to the cleaned surface, it is recommended to maintain a distance of at least 30 cm between the
nozzle outlet and the cleaned surface.
If not necessary, keep moving the water jet and do not aim it at one place. This will reduce the risk of damage to the cleaned
surface by prolonged exposure to high-pressure water jets.
The water jet of the high-pressure nozzle attachment can be adjusted. Rotating the nozzle housing changes the type of the water
jet from a concentrated high-pressure jet to a lower-pressure dispersed jet.
If a detergent is used, use a preparation designed for pressure washers. Read and observe the information provided with the
preparation. This applies in particular to dilution and use. Do not use corrosive preparations.
MAINTENANCE, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Clean the washer's housing with a damp cloth, then dry or leave to dry. Clean the ventilation openings with a soft brush or a soft
brush with plastic bristles, or with a compressed air stream with the pressure not exceeding 0.3 MPa. The water inlet is equipped
with a strainer, which must be removed, cleaned under running water and then reinstalled in the water inlet. It is forbidden to use
the washer without the strainer installed in the water inlet. Deformation or reduction of the effi ciency of the outlet jet can be caused
by a dirty nozzle outlet. Clean the nozzle inlet with the supplied needle. Be careful when cleaning so as not to damage the nozzle.
If the cleaning has no eff ect, hand over the washer to an authorised service centre. Do not disassemble any of the parts of the
washer by yourself.
Remove water from the inside of the washer before storage. This will prevent contamination of the washer by organic material
which may be present in the water, and damage to the washer if exposed to temperatures below 0 C. After using the washer and
