- Protect yourself against the spray given off with suitable work clothes and wear protective goggles.
- It is recommended that you wear ear protection when using this equipment.
- Do not operate the equipment if the power connection or important parts of the equipment, e.g. safety components, high-pressure hoses, trigger gun, are damaged.
Warning: Exclusively use the manufacturer’s replacement parts and accessories to ensure the safety of the equipment. High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important to the safety of the equipment.
Before Using Equipment
- It is recommended that a circuit breaker be professionally fitted to the power supply to this equipment, to interrupt the supply voltage, should the current exceed 30mA for 30ms.
- According to the applicable regulations, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water supply without a system separator. Use a suitable system separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Always connect the system separator to the water supply, never directly to the appliance!
- Connect the high-pressure hose (3) firmly to the high-pressure outlet (5).
- Insert the free end of the high-pressure hose into the corresponding opening on the spray gun until you hear it click into place. Press the release button (15) to remove the high-pressure hose from the spray gun and pull the hose out.
- Connect the water supply hose to the water inlet valve (6) or to a pre-assembled hose coupling. Make sure the dirt filter is correctly positioned.
- Firmly twist the lance (10) into the trigger gun (9).
- Depending on requirements, insert one of the jet nozzles into the spray lance until it you hear it click into place. To change the nozzle, pull the locking cap (16) back towards the spray gun and remove the nozzle by pulling it forwards.
- Connect the mains plug to a properly earthed socket.
- Turn on the water supply. Using the high-pressure cleaner with the water supply disconnected causes damage to the pump.

Intended Usage
The high-pressure cleaner is used to clean objects and exterior areas (tools, vehicles, boats, patios, building exteriors, garden furniture, etc.) with a high-pressure jet of water. It is not intended for industrial use.
It should be noted that vehicles and their engines may only be cleaned in locations with a suitable oil trap.
Operation
Degree of Protection
IPX5: The product is protected against light jets of water such as those that may be directed towards the casing by a garden sprinkler.
Automatic Motor Cutout
This high-pressure cleaner is equipped with an automatic motor cutout. If during operation, the trigger (14) is released, the motor automatically shuts off. When the trigger (14) is used again, the motor switches on again. For shorter breaks the trigger (14) can be fixed in place by the trigger lock (13), to prevent unintentional engagement of the motor. For longer breaks, the on/off switch (2) should also be switched to "OFF".
Switching On
Unwind the high-pressure hose completely from the hose drum (2). Hold on to the transport handle (1) during this procedure.
- Turn the operating switch (2) into the "ON" position
- Aim trigger gun (9) towards the ground.
- Release the trigger lock (14) on the trigger gun (9) and fully depress the trigger (14).
Switching Off
Let go of the trigger (14) and lock it in position using the trigger lock (13).
During longer breaks, you should switch off the high-pressure cleaner by turning the operating switch (2) to "OFF".
Detergent reservoir
Your high-pressure cleaner is equipped with a detergent reservoir (8); if required, detergent can be automatically mixed into the cleaning water.
- Open the reservoir (8) by pulling off the cap.
- Fill the reservoir with up to 0.5 litres of detergent.
- Observe the instructions or recommendations of the manufacturer in order to create a mixture.
- Place the cap back onto the reservoir (8).
- Detergent will only be added to the cleaning water in the low-pressure mode as set on the nozzle.
Fan nozzle
Detergent can only be mixed into the cleaning water in low-pressure mode.
- Switch the operating mode to high or low pressure by sliding the nozzle sheath (17) to the back or front.
- For your high-pressure cleaner to mix detergent to the cleaning water, slide the nozzle sheath (17) towards the front as far as it will go.
- When you squeeze the trigger (14) on the gun, the detergent will automatically be added to the cleaning water.
- Slide the nozzle sheath (17) back towards the gun as far as it will go to set the operating mode to high pressure.
- Some detergent may briefly escape after switching from low to high pressure if the detergent reservoir is full.
Cleaning & Care
Use of Cleaning Agents
This high-pressure cleaner is designed for use with universal, car, boat, house and garden cleaning agents that are recommended by the manufacturer and are approved for use on high-pressure cleaners (e.g. Kärcher, Mellerud).
The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may compromise the safety and functioning of the equipment.
- When using cleaning agents, follow the manufacturer’s application and dosage instructions.
- Do not use caustic cleaning agents.
- Seek advice about suitable cleaning agents from specialised dealers.
Cleaning with your high-pressure cleaner
- If necessary, first clean the object from coarse soil in high-pressure mode.
- Spray the detergent onto the surface and allow it to soak in. Do not leave it to dry.
- Spray off the loosened soil in high-pressure mode.
Fan Nozzle
By twisting the nozzle casing (17) the flow can be adjusted between jet (18) and spray (19) via the fan nozzle.
Finishing the Cleaning Process
- Switch off high-pressure cleaner by turning the operating switch (2) to “OFF” and disconnect the mains plug.
- Turn off the water supply and disconnect the equipment from the water supply.
- Squeeze the gun trigger (14), until the equipment is depressurised.
- Lock the gun trigger (14) with the trigger lock (13).
- Disconnect the high-pressure hose from the spray gun by pressing the release button (15) and remove the tube from the gun by pulling downwards.
- Store equipment in a secure location that is frost-free and out of the reach of children.
- Before longer periods of disuse and storage during the winter, allow running for about 5 seconds without any water supply and with the high-pressure hose disconnected. By doing this, the pump will be emptied of as much of the remaining water as possible, which will virtually remove the risk of damage due to water freezing inside the equipment.
Care and Service
- Before any cleaning or servicing of the high-pressure cleaner, the mains plug should be disconnected.
- Only clean the casing with a dry cloth and do not use any cleaning agents, as these may damage the casing.
- Remove the dirt filter from the water inlet (6), clean it under running water and re-insert it into the inlet.
- The cleaning needle provided (13) serves to clean the nozzle. After each use of the high-pressure cleaner, insert the cleaning needle (13) into the nozzle from the front to dislodge any foreign objects from the nozzle.
