• Connect the quick fit connector (27) on the hose (26) to the water outlet connector (5) and secure the
ring nut tightly by hand. Step H in Fig. 7.
• Screw the connector (25) on the high pressure hose onto the thread of the cleaner gun (17) and tighten
it using two 17/22 mm spanners (not supplied). Step G in Fig. 7.
• Insert the filter (29) and the seal (30) in the cup (28); screw the cup (28) onto the connector (4). Step I in

• Insert the handle (3) in the steel pipes projecting from the machine and fix it using the kit supplied: tighten
the threaded handwheels (11) on the nuts retained by their housings on the handle. Step B in Fig. 2.
• Use the handles (3) to move the high pressure cleaner to the area where it is to be used.
• Unwind the high pressure hose completely (26).
• Using a quick coupling (GARDENA® type or equivalent), secure a supply hose (35) with an internal diameter
of 13 mm/0.51 in to the water inlet filter cup (28). Step I in Fig. 8.
• Connect the water supply hose to a tap.
• Open the water tap (if connecting to the mains wa ter supply, you must use a backflow hydraulic device
(36): please refer to the relative instruction manual), making sure that there is no dripping (or place the

• Turn the high pressure cleaner on again by turning the master switch (1) to "I".
• Press the cleaner gun lever (23) and check the nozzle spray is even without dripping.
• The high pressure cleaner is set to operate at the maximum permissible pressure, if lower pressure values
are to be used, contact a Specialized Technician, who will reset the pressure control/adjustment valve
STANDARD OPERATION WITH HOT WATER (AT HIGH PRESSURE)
• Make sure that the hot water switch (31) is in position "0".
• Unscrew the cap (8) and fill the tank with automotive gas oil, making sure the fuel does not spill over. We
recommend using a funnel reserved exclusively for this purpose (maximum tank capacity 4 l / 1,06 US gal);
replace and tighten the cap.

are to be used, contact a Specialized Technician, who will reset the pressure control/adjustment valve.
• When the fuel is low, the burner will stop working.
• The burner starts working after about three seconds from the opening of the spray gun and stops when
the spray gun is closed or when the maximum permissible temperature has been reached.
