Application.
These petrol powered pressure washers are for use where a power
supply is not readily available. Ideal for boat yard, agricultural or
industrial user. Models feature a reliable axial plate pump coupled
to a 4-Stroke Briggs & Stratton power unit. The washer has a
detergent tank incorporated in the handle, and a trigger operated
lance with spray/jet control nozzles. Using clean water and correct
detergent the washer will remove stubborn dirt from vehicles,
machines, boats, buildings, etc.
3. ASSEMBLY
Unpack contents and check to ensure all parts (fig 1) are in good

4.1.
Starting procedure.
4.1.1
Check engine oil level before each use
4.1.2. Check that the mains feed hose is laid straight and fully open the water tap. Check to ensure
there are no leaks from hoses or connections.
4.1.3. Fill detergent tank with correct mixture. NOTE: It is very important to ensure that you carefully follow the
handling and dilution directions printed on the detergent container.
4.1.4. Undo safety catch and depress trigger to allow any air to escape, hold for 10 seconds and release.
4.1.5. Start the engine (fig 5) whilst keeping the trigger pressed until water flows from the nozzle.
4.2.
Nozzle spray adjusting (fig 6).
The three nozzle functions must be understood before operating the washer.
a) LOW PRESSURE (fig 6 nozzle forward): To spray detergent/water mix at controlled rate for cleaning.
b) HIGH PRESSURE (fig 6 nozzle back): To spray a high powered force of clean water for washing down.
c) To adjust the water flow from a thin pencil jet to a fanned output (fig 7).
F
CAUTIONS!
a) Avoid sudden bursts of water as this will cause the water pressure to drop and put extreme
p
pressure on the hoses and connections.
b) The water fan must only be adjusted with the trigger released (closed).
c) If another person is using water from the same supply as the washer, the water pressure will drop and the washer will not operate
correctly. Switch the engine off immediately and wait until the pressure is restored.
4.3.
Cleaning
