4.1 High Pressure Operation

• Switch on the pressure washer (No.4)

• Ensure the Spray Lance with the Pressure Regulator (No.9) is attached

securely to the Spray Gun (No.12) and the nozzle is set to the required

setting (+).

• Aim the lance towards the object to be cleaned making sure the

recommended working distance is used (for reference see Page 10).

Release the Safety Lock Device (No.11) on the Spray Gun and

squeeze the lever.

The pressurised water jet alone is capable of fulfiling most

cleaning tasks around the garden or on building work but

detergent and wash brush are advantageous when cleaning

vehicles or other paint finishes.

4.2 Low  Pressure Operation without Brush

ensuring it is the correct concentration (See Page 11 or read

or

Dilute the detergent to the required concentration before filling the

Detergent Tank. (The correct dilution is dependent on the degree of

soiling of surface and is best determined by experience).

• Aim the nozzle towards the object to be cleaned, release the Safety

Locking Device on the Spray Gun and squeeze the lever to apply the

detergent to the working area.

• To rinse the detergent away increase the nozzle setting towards “+” set-

ting. (No detergent will be drawn in with high working pressure). Spray with

the required jet spray setting until no trace of detergent can be found.
