Activate the trigger of the spray handle and let the water run until all air has escaped from the water hose. Always adjust the distance and thus the pressure of the nozzle to the surface, which is to be cleaned. Note: If the machine is left or not used for 5 minutes, it must be switched off on the start/stop switch "O" (1): 1. Shut off the water supply and activate the trigger to relieve the machine of pressure. When releasing the trigger of the spray handle, the machine automatically stops.

Make sure that the water tank is not placed on a lower level than the machine. Make sure that the water hose is filled completely with water before connecting to the machine. To avoid water spillage, crimp the water inlet hose down in the water and then connect the hose to the machine with the quick coupling and finally uncrimp the water inlet hose.
