Installation
Suivez ces étapes pour préparer votre nettoyeur haute pression à l'utilisation.
- Assembler la poignée : Extend the aluminum handle to its operating position. Ensure it locks securely.
- Raccorder le tuyau haute pression : Attach one end of the 6-meter high-pressure hose to the outlet on the front of the pressure washer unit. Connect the other end to the power gun. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Fixez la lance et la buse : Connect the lance to the power gun. Select the desired nozzle (Vario or Turbo) and attach it to the end of the lance. For detergent application, attach the 0.7L Super Foamer.
- Raccorder l'alimentation en eau : Attach a standard garden hose (not included) to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure the water inlet filter is clean. Connect the other end of the garden hose to a cold water tap. Turn on the water tap fully.
- Connexion électrique : Plug the 5-meter power cable into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by an RCD.
- Amorcer la pompe : Before switching on the motor, squeeze the trigger on the power gun to allow water to flow through the system and expel any air. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges from the nozzle. This prevents damage to the pump.

Mode d'emploi
Proper operation ensures effective cleaning and extends the life of your appliance.
- Démarrage de l'unité : After priming the pump, switch the pressure washer to the 'ON' position. The motor will start.
- Using the Power Gun: Hold the power gun firmly with both hands. Squeeze the trigger to begin spraying. Release the trigger to stop the water flow. The motor will temporarily shut off when the trigger is released and restart when squeezed again.
- Sélection de buse :
- Buse Vario : Provides adjustable spray patterns from a concentrated jet to a wide fan spray. Rotate the nozzle head to change the pattern. Suitable for general cleaning and rinsing.
- Buse turbo : Delivers a rotating pencil jet for maximum cleaning power on stubborn dirt. Use with caution on delicate surfaces.
- Detergent Application (0.7L Super Foamer): Fill the Super Foamer with appropriate pressure washer detergent. Attach it to the lance. The pressure washer will draw detergent and mix it with water at low pressure. Apply detergent to the surface, allow it to soak as per detergent instructions, then rinse with clean water using a Vario or Turbo nozzle.
- Techniques de nettoyage : Always start cleaning from a distance and move closer to the surface as needed. Maintain a consistent distance and angle for even cleaning. Avoid spraying directly into electrical components or sensitive areas.
- Éteindre:
- Switch the pressure washer to the 'OFF' position.
- Fermez le robinet d'eau.
- Squeeze the trigger on the power gun to release any remaining pressure in the system.
- Débranchez le câble d'alimentation de la prise.
- Débranchez le tuyau d'arrosage et le tuyau haute pression.

Entretien
Un entretien régulier garantit des performances optimales et une longue durée de vie à votre nettoyeur haute pression.
- Nettoyer les buses : Periodically check nozzles for blockages. Use the included nozzle cleaning tool to clear any debris.
- Filtre d'entrée d'eau : Regularly inspect and clean the water inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Drainer l'eau: After each use, especially before storage, ensure all water is drained from the pump and hoses to prevent freezing damage. Run the pump for a few seconds with the water supply disconnected and the trigger squeezed until no more water comes out.
- Stockage: Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free environment. Coil the high-pressure hose and power cable neatly. Utilize the onboard storage for the gun, lance, and nozzles.
