Operation is simple with one large selector switch. Big wheels and a steering roller make it easy to push. A tilting aid helps you over steps and kerbs. The 15 litre fuel tank and the detergent tank are built in. An auto shutdown stops the motor and pump when you release the trigger. The full ceramic valve lasts five times longer.

A hot water washer heats the water as it passes through a coil in a burner. Heat breaks down grease and oil so you need less pressure and less detergent. Here pressure goes up to 120 bar. Flow runs from 240 to 560 l/h. Eco!efficiency mode lowers the burner output to save diesel. Machine Protector looks after the burner coil. The pressure switch holds the settings. Auto shutdown stops the motor and pump when the gun is released.

Hot water scalds so keep the jet away from your body and from others. Wear waterproof gloves and eye protection. Use it in a ventilated space because the burner makes exhaust. Never refuel while it is running. Plug it into a suitable 240V socket with a safe cable. Release the trigger to shut down and let it cool before you move it. Brake on slopes.
