Pressure Washer Operation

Use the high-pressure hoses and connectors / fittings supplied with the unit ONLY. • Ensure
that all hoses and connectors / fittings are correctly installed and secure. • Always hold the
lance with both hands to avoid recoil. • Do NOT use the machine whilst standing on a ladder. • Water may
flow from the pump pressure release valve (if fitted) when the engine is running but the spray action of the
machine is not being used – this is to protect the pump and is normal. • If the engine is running but the spray
action of the machine is not to be used for more than 2 minutes, switch the engine OFF.
machine running without spraying for extended periods may damage the pump and / or other
components and will void the product
trigger is first pulled. The pressure washer creates very high pressures that can puncture skin, cause severe
injury and/or poison blood. Do not direct the high-pressure spray at any person, animal, electrical equipment,
equipment or items that can be damaged by high-pressure water spray or the machine itself. • Do not allow
any persons, animals etc to be within 20m (60') of the equipment when in use. • Do not operate the machine
without a liquid source to draw in.
Be aware that once the engine is running, the pumping action of the machine activates. When the engine is
idling (slowest continuous running speed), the output water pressure is minimal. As you increase engine
speed (use the engine throttle control), the water pressure increases. Note the following recommendations:
•
Operate the engine at a sufficient speed to provide the desired output pressure.
•
Use the correct nozzle for the job. Nozzles that concentrate the water jet into a small area can gouge
and damage some surface materials.
•
Before commencing the job, pressure clean a small test area to ensure that the surface will not be
damaged and the machine will clean the surface adequately.
•
Uncoil the high-pressure hose(s) fully before using the machine.
•
Use a sweeping and overlapping pattern to help ensure effective cleaning and coverage.
•
When cleaning using detergents, always rinse off any residues afterward.
1. Assemble the high-pressure hoses, lance and fittings
2. Attach a nozzle to the end of the lance extension.
3. Connect the high-pressure hose
4. Connect the machine to the water supply
5. Squeeze the lance trigger and allow any air in the hoses and pump to be ejected by the water supply
pressure. The water should flow freely before starting the engine.
6. Start the engine.

Using the Lance

The lance has a "trigger" (A) to start and stop spraying. The lance may feature a "lock" (B) that prevents the
trigger accidentally being pulled. To spray, release the lock (if fitted or engaged) and pull the trigger – the
spray action will continue while the trigger remains pulled. Release the trigger to stop the spray action.
