until they click into position !
•Once water is flowing through the machine, you may now switch
on your Karcher Pressure Washer using the Power Switch (No.3)

4.1 High Pressure Operation
• EnsuretheSprayLancewiththeDoubleNozzle(No.6)ortheDirtBlaster
(No.12)areattached securelytotheSprayGun(No.8), also the double
nozzle is set to the required jet.
• Aim the lance towards the object to be cleaned making sure the
recommended working distance is used for reference (See Page 9).
Release the safety ratchet on the Spray Gun and squeeze the trigger.
• Switch on the pressure washer (No.2)
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.
• Set the nozzle to the Low Pressure Setting. Note that the Dirt Blaster
is not for use in Low pressure Operation.
Always ensure the Spray Gun is closed before changing
the nozzle setting
• Aim the nozzle 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)
• To rinse the detergent away, close the trigger, increase the nozzle set-
ting towards High Pressure setting. No detergent can be drawn in
with a high working pressure. Spray with the required jet spray set-
ting until no trace of detergent can be found.
