will not achieve suction. The suction hose should not
be longer than 3 m and the diameter should not be less
than 3/4".
1. Disconnect the handgun (11) and the high pressure
hose (14) from the high pressure water outlet (4).
2. Screw the suction hose (not included) to the
connection for water supply (3) and insert it into the
water source.
3. Turn the On / Off switch (2) to ON position (I).
4. Wait until the water comes out of the high pressure
outlet (4) and connect the handgun (11) and the high
