Operation
Initial Setup: Ensure the high-pressure hose and trigger gun are attached before connecting the water tank. If using stored water, ensure the hose is primed and the height difference is within 0.5m.
Starting: Set the switch to ON. Adjust the spray from 'Jet' to 'Spray' gradually while pulling the trigger.
After Use: Always drain residual water from the washer, hose, and trigger gun to prevent freezing and malfunctions. Lock the trigger with the trigger stopper.
Maintenance and Inspection

Troubleshooting
If the washer does not operate normally, check the following:
- Motor won't start: Check if the battery is installed, the switch is ON, and the battery is charged.
