The KIMO 5018 is a cordless high-pressure washer intended for residential use to clean vehicles, machines, buildings, and facades. Important: Use only cold or lukewarm water. Do not use dirty, gritty water or chemical products that are not recommended, as these can damage the pump. Always ensure the battery is fully charged before use.
Components
The unit includes the following main components:
- Pressure cleaning lance
- Angle lance
- Brush
- Soap bottle
- Draw hose with filter and connector
- Battery pack
Battery and Charging
KIMO chargers are designed to charge the battery pack in 40 to 60 minutes. To charge, insert the battery pack into the charger and plug the charger into an appropriate outlet. The red indicator light signifies charging, while the green light indicates the battery is fully charged. Do not discharge batteries fully; recharge after each use for the longest battery life.
Assembly and Operation
Attaching Accessories: Align the two projections on the lance, brush, or soap bottle with the grooves on the power nozzle and twist to lock. Attach the draw hose to the power nozzle until you hear a click; pull gently to ensure it is secure.
Operation: To start the appliance, press the lock-off button first, then press the on/off switch on the handle. First Use: You must prime the pump to empty air from the hose. Place the power nozzle below waist level (less than 5ft / 1.5m), attach the lance, and set it to high pressure. Run until water flows steadily, which may take up to 30 seconds.
Cleaning and Storage
Before storage, completely drain all water from the machine and hose. Clean the moulded plastic housing using a soft brush and clean cloth. Do not use solvents or polishes. Store in a secure, dry, and frost-free place out of the reach of children.
Troubleshooting
If the machine does not draw water, ensure the nozzle is below the water source level, check that the hose filter is not blocked, and ensure there are no kinks in the hose. If the machine does not turn on, check that the battery is installed correctly and charged. If pressure is inconsistent, check the hose connections and adjust the pressure controller.
