Warning: If the high pressure hose gets damaged it can burst and cause
injury. A damaged hose must be replaced not repaired. Inspect regularly
and prevent the hose coming into contact with sharp objects or rough
surfaces. After use, always wind the hose back in using the Hose Reel
Handle (21), and then fold handle back into the stored position
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 can not contaminate
your water supply if there is a backflow.
1. Remove plastic cap from Water Inlet Connector (18)
2. Check the filter inside the water inlet connector is clear of debris or
any other material. This is something that should be clean on first use
but over time debris may build up and will need checking regularly
and removing
3. Fit the Quick Connector (8) to the Water Inlet Connector (18) and
tighten by hand only
4. Connect a hose from your water supply to the fitted Quick Connector
Notes:
• The specification lists suitable water inlet pressures. A typical normal
UK household water supply can range from 1-8 Bar pressure but 2-5 Bar
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 water
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 turning on the
pressure washer
Before use
• Always check that all parts and attachments are secure, and that hoses
are not kinked or obstructed
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment for the job
that you are to do. Use of this machine requires safety goggles and
waterproof clothing
• Always use an RCD when connecting a pressure washer to the mains
with a tripping current no more than 30mA and a delay in operating of
no more than 30ms
• Make sure any mains connection points are out of reach of the pressure
washer water spray or any water that may collect on a surface around
where you are spraying
• 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
• 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
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all
its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If
any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool
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
Lance
• Assemble the Lance (11) by connecting the Lance Extension (10).
Connect the Lance Extension Bayonet Connector (12) to the Lance
Bayonet Socket (7) by inserting, rotating and then releasing, so the
bayonet fitting is locked in the groove of the bayonet socket

Connector (13). Screw the fittings together until tight
4. Remove the plastic cap from the High Pressure Hose Socket (16)
