HSS Hire 59227 Operating & Safety Manual

BASIC TECHNIQUES

Jetwash Head
Release the trigger lock on the lance then squeeze
the trigger to begin work.
The spray pressure can be adjusted at the spray
lance. For low pressure turn the lances side handle
anti-clockwise.
The Jetwash head has no pressure adjustment.
The pressure can also be adjusted at the pump, to
increase pressure turn the pressure regulator clockwise,
to decrease, turn anti-clockwise.

Pump Performance

A pump' s performance depends mainly on a sufficient
supply of water. If the pump gives intermittent high or
low spray pressure during use, check the inlet hose
connections for kinks, damage and secure connection
to the pump and mains tap. Also check the water
pressure at the tap, in case the pressure has dropped
due to other services being supplied.
If syphoning, check that the supply hose and filter are
fully submerged in water, and that the filter cage has
not become blocked.
If using a break tank, check that the tanks supply is
sufficient for the demand.
If in doubt, contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
If a detergent is to be sprayed, reduce the spray
pressure at the side handle. Triggering the lance will
now draw the chemical into the system automatically.
If you then wish to spray without detergent, screw the
side handle clockwise as far as it will go, high pressure
will return. The chemicals will continue for a short while
as the residue is cleared.
Be prepared for the lance to give a kick each time
it is triggered, due to the high pressure delivered.
Start with the lance about 1.5m away from the
surface being cleaned. Squeeze the trigger and allow
the unit to build up to pressure.
Slowly move closer to the work, then increasing
the pressure if required by turning the side handle
clockwise. Note when adjusting the pressure do not
trigger the lance.

EQUIPMENT CARE

Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease or within the time required, assume you have the
wrong size or type of washer for the job. Ask at your local
HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves. And where it will
be protected from frost at all times.
Handle hoses with care. Never run them over sharp
edges or anywhere else that exposes them to the risk
of damage.
Keep the engine upright at all times. If it should be
tipped over, mop up oil and fuel spillage' s and contact
your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Regularly check the fuel level and top up as
required using the correct fuel: DERV.
Check the engine oil level daily. Let the engine cool,
stand it on level ground, withdraw the dip stick and wipe
clean. Now, replace the dip stick, withdraw it a second
time and verify that the oil level is between Min and Max.
Top up as required.

FINISHING OFF

To STOP the engine, push and hold the STOP lever until
the engine dies.
Shut off the water supply and trigger the lance to
drain any remaining water.
If you have finished with the unit completely,
disconnect the pressure, suction and return hoses
as applicable, drain out any water they contain and
coil them neatly ready for return to your local HSS
Hire Shop.
