MAINTAIN YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
WITH CARE
When not using your pressure washer ensure the fuel
choke is 'OFF'. Never leave the fuel choke 'ON' as this
can damage the carburettor. Follow the instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Keep handles clean,
dry and free from oil and grease. Ensure that ventilation
slots are kept clean and free from dust at all times. Blocked
ventilation slots can cause overheating and damage to the
motor. Ensure that the air and fuel filters are kept clean at
all times.
STOP PRESSURE WASHER
Ensure that the pressure washer has stopped and is turned
off when not in use, before servicing, lubricating, making
adjustments or when changing any accessories.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS
AND WRENCHES
Form the habit of always checking to see that any adjusting
keys or wrenches have been removed from the pressure
washer before operating.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS
Always contact your fire authority before using the
pressure washer on fire restricted days. It is not
recommended to use your pressure washer when a total
fire ban is in force. Never refuel your pressure washer
while it is still running. As a precaution, it is recommended
that an expert is consulted on obtaining and using a
suitable fire extinguisher.
CLEANING YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
Always stop your pressure washer before you commence
cleaning the unit. Always ensure that your pressure
washer has cooled, about one (1) hour, before cleaning and
storing. When cleaning your pressure washer use only a
damp soft cloth. NEVER use liquid or solvents of any type.
All areas can be wiped down once cooled.
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage may occur if nozzle is used too close to appliance
or surface being cleaned. Always trial test the pressure
washer on an inconspicuous part of the appliance or
surface. Beware poor paint and rust as the water will lift
poor paint and cause rust spots to grow. Damage caused
by pressure washer is not covered by warranty.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before using the pressure washer it should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function.
Check for broken or missing parts and have them replaced
or repaired at an authorised service facility. Check any
other condition that may affect the operation of the
pressure washer. A guard or any other part of the pressure
washer that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service facility unless otherwise
indicated in this instruction manual.
Any switch that does not operate correctly must be
replaced by an authorised service facility.
DO NOT use the pressure washer if the 'ON / OFF' motor
switch does not turn the pressure washer 'ON' and 'OFF'.
