TOOLS REQUIREMENT

• Electric drill (1/2")
• Hammer
• Wrench
• Screwdriver

FIX WALL BASE

1. Chosen a location for your pressure hose reel, follow the figure 1 of the wall base template to mark the location of 4 holes for drilling, or place the wall base itself up to the wall to mark the location of the screw holes for drilling.
   Note: Please install the machine at a height of approximately 24-32in above the ground to maximize the function of auto-retract.
2. Use a 1/2" or 12mm diameter drill bit to drill the 4 marked holes. Hole depth is important. You may choose to measure a 1.96in depth on the drill bit itself and mark it with a small piece of tape so you know when you've drilled the appropriate depth into the wall. Using a correctly sized drill bit will ensure a secure installation of the wall base. To make sure the wall anchors have a secure fit, you may choose to drill a slightly smaller hole first, then size up if it proves too small for the wall anchor.
3. Hammer the wall anchors into the 4 pre-drilled holes.
4. Place the base to the wall, aligning the wall anchors with the designated holes in the wall base. Screw in the screws with either a socket set or a Phillips screwdriver.
   

WAY TO USE

1. Fixing the matching end of the hose firmly into the gun handle. See figure 2 and 3. Tighten the connector by hand only. Loosen the high pressure hose to avoid twist.
   
2. Connect the lance to pressure gun.
   
3. Push the trigger lock button, ensure the trigger in the "OFF" position.
   
4. Connect the water inlet hose (end with filter) to the water inlet end of the pressure washer by hand and tighten it by hand (Please make sure that there is no debris blockage on the filter side of the water inlet hose).
   
   
   Please do not use tools such as wrenches to tighten it. That will damage to the machine.
5. Turn the water supply on, making sure that the tap is fully open. Release the trigger lock.
   
   We recommend keeping the inlet water pressure less than 0.8Mpa (116 PSI) during the use of the pressure washer to prevent the machine from not working or the inlet hose blows up during the usage.
6. Trigger the gun to expel the air in the unit before its working.
7. Turning the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.
8. Put plug into socket of main electric power.
9. Choose the appropriate size nozzle for your work. Use your hands to connect the quick-connect collar slightly downward, the required nozzle will be stuck in the quick connect collar, release hands and hear the sound of click, indicating that the nozzle is successfully connected.
   

AFTER USE TIPS

How to Retract

In order to enhance your experience with Giraffe Tools and extend the life of the pressure hose reel.
First, when the cleaning task is done, please turn to the state of "OFF", and then turn off the water supply.
Second, when the high-pressure hose is filled with water after use, its automatic retracting function will be greatly affected. Please press the handle first to release pressure and drain the excess water. Figure A for your reference.

Third, after releasing the pressure, please hold the pressure gun and pull the pressure hose a little out, and then, retracting the pressure hose to the whole reel. Figure B for your reference.

Last, store your pressure gun.

Storage During Winter

1. Switch to the state of "OFF"
2. Turn off the water supply tap
3. Remove the plug from the socket
4. Discharge the residual pressure from the gun until all the water has come out of the nozzle
5. Drain and wash out the detergent tank at the end of the working session. To wash out the tank, use clean water instead of the detergent
6. Roll the pressure hoses
7. Engage the gun safety catch
8. To better maintain the performance of the pressure washer, please dismantle the pressure washer and store it indoors during winter
9. When you use it again, please make sure to check whether there is any icing in the water hose first. If it is partially frozen, do not pull out the high-pressure hose, please wait for it to melt before using it normally
