USING THE PRESSURE WASHER

The Automatic Stop System stops the hot washer during the bypass phase.

Once the hot washer is switched on, the ‘Automatic Stop System’ will start and

stop the hot washer automatically whenever the trigger is pulled / released.

Sometimes the hot washer may start without pressing the gun trigger, this is

normally due to air bubbles in the water or other similar phenomena which do

not imply the existence of any defects in the hot washer.

Do not leave the hot washer unattended during the bypass phase for more

than 5 minutes. If you need to leave the hot washer for longer than this, switch

it off first, and operate the trigger to release the pressure.

STARTING UP

socket.

lock upwards and lay it against
