4.1 High Pressure Operation
• EnsuretheSprayLance (No.6) ortheDirt Blaster(No. 12)areattached

• Aim the lance towards the object to be cleaned making sure the
recommended working distance is used for reference (See Page 9).

ger.

The pressurised water jet alone is capable of fulfilling most
cleaning tasks around the garden or on building work but
detergent and wash brush are advantageous when cleaning
vehicles or other paint finishes.
4.2 Low Pressure Operation
• Dilute the detergent in a suitable container to the required concentra-
tion before using. (The correct dilution is dependent on the degree of
soiling of surface and is best determined by experience).
• Hang the Detergent Suction Tube (No.1) in the Detergent container.
• Remove spray lance. Note that the Spray Lance (No.6) or the Dirt
Blaster (No. 12) is not for use in Low pressure Operation.
• Aim the Spray Gun towards the object to be cleaned, release the
Safety Locking Device on the Spray Gun and squeeze the trigger to
apply the detergent to the working area.
• Switch on the pressure washer (No.2)
