How To Use

Using it

  1. Stand the machine on a flat, stable surface where spray and run-off cannot reach the plug.
  2. Connect the water supply and your high pressure hose, and check every connection has locked.
  3. Turn the water on, squeeze the trigger to purge air, then switch on at the rocker switch.
  4. On paintwork, use a wide rinse nozzle and keep the lance a sensible distance from the surface.
  5. With the Standard Pro Kit, use the supplied foam cannon orifice when running a foam cannon.
  6. Switch off and squeeze the trigger to release pressure before changing nozzles or accessories.

Cleaning and storage

  1. Switch off, unplug and turn off the water, then squeeze the trigger to release trapped pressure.
  2. Disconnect the hoses and let water drain from the gun, lance and nozzles.
  3. Rinse snow foam and chemical residue off the accessories with clean water.
  4. Keep the nozzles in the Standard Pro Kit's nozzle holder so none go missing.
  5. Lift the machine carefully, as Active lists it at 20kg with its frame.
  6. Store it indoors and protected from frost, and have leaks or pressure loss checked early.

Top Tip: Active strongly recommends steel braided hoses with the 2.3, so check any hose you add is steel braided.
