closer while checking the level of cleaning until you reach
a distance in which soiling is e ectively washed away.
The pressure of the spray from the washer is
approximately 20-times greater than tap water. High-
pressure water jets may therefore damage or peel the
coating from the items being washed.
There are cases when the water spray will appear
unstable owing to the fact that air that has built up in
the pump and hose is purged together with the water
immediately after use. In this event, allow the water to
ow out until it stabilizes.
Leave two or more seconds gap between pulling and
releasing the trigger.
Failure to observe this may result in the pressure switch
malfunctions.
Do not use the washer for more than thirty consecutive
minutes without giving it a break.
