Assembly steps (Fig 2)
  1. Attach the handle (C3) and wheels (C14).
  2. Connect the high-pressure hose (B5) to the machine and the spray gun (B3).
  3. Attach the lance (B2) to the spray gun.
  4. Connect the water supply hose to the water inlet (INLET) using the filter (L).

Operation

Starting the machine:

  1. Open the water supply tap fully.
  2. Release the safety catch (D) on the spray gun.
  3. Press the spray gun trigger for a few seconds to bleed air from the system.
  4. Turn the switch (H) to the ON (I) position.

Using Detergent:

Use the detergent kit (C13) as shown in Figure 3 (Page 5). Ensure the detergent is biodegradable and compatible with the machine. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the surface being cleaned.

Maintenance and Storage

  • Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle is clogged, use the provided tool (C1) to clean it.
  • Filter Cleaning: Check and clean the water inlet filter (L) before every use.
  • Storage: Before winter storage, run the machine with non-corrosive, non-toxic antifreeze. Store in a dry, frost-free location.

Troubleshooting

If the machine fails to operate, check the following:

  • Pump not reaching pressure: Check for a clogged filter, air in the system, or a worn nozzle.
  • Motor hums but does not start: Check voltage, extension cable specifications, or contact a service center if the TSS device is faulty.
  • Water leaks: Check seals and contact a service center if necessary.
