Operation - Black & Decker BEPW1600 Original Instructions Manual

A narrow pencil jet stream distributes the impact of the water
in a concentrated area, resulting in a high impact force on
the cleaning surface. Use a narrow pencil jet stream for deep
cleaning in a concentrated area. However, use it cautiously, as
it may damage some surfaces
Attaching Soap Bottle (Fig. J4)
To connect the soap bottle ( 11 ) to the spray handle ( 4 ),
insert the end of the soap bottle inside the spray handle and
turn the soap bottle counterclockwise to lock it into position.
Note: The wand and soap bottle cannot be installed at the
same time.
Note:The soap bottle should be positioned underneath the
barrel of the spray handle. Do not position the soap bottle

Water Connection
Warning! According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be used on
the drinking water network without a system
seperator. Use a system seperator as per IEC
61770 Type BA.
Water flowing through a system seperator is
not considered drinkable.
Comply with the regulations of your water supply com-
u
pany.
All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
u
Make sure the supply hose is at least 12.7 mm in diameter
u
and is reinforced.
The appliance should never be used on the drinking water
u
supply without a backflow valve. Water that has passed
the backflow valve is considered undrinkable.
Cleaning a Surface
To start the pressure washer, rotate the ON/OFF dial ( 17 )
u
to the ON position.
Confirm that the water faucet is open or use any other
u
water source so that water will be supplied to the pressure
washer unit.
The best angle for spraying water against a cleaning
u
surface is 45 °.
Spraying head on tends to cause dirt particles to imbed
u
in the surface.
When working on vertical surfaces, it is best to apply
u
detergent starting at the bottom and working upwards
which will prevent the detergent from sliding down and
causing streaks.
To disengage the spray handle, release the trigger.
u
NOTE: Excessive pump pressure may be the result of a
clogged nozzle. Always turn OFF the pressure washer unit
