WARNING! DO NOT leave motor running for more than 5 minutes without operating the trigger, as temperature/pressure increases may
‰
damage sealing system.
5.1.
STARTING PROCEDURE
5.1.1.
Check engine oil and fuel level before each use. The dip stick is marked L (Low), H (High).
5.1.2.
Check that the mains cold water feed hose is laid straight and then fully open the water tap. Check to ensure there are no leaks from
hoses or connections.
5.1.3.
Place the detergent input tube into the detergent container. Ensure that the filter goes to the bottom of the container.
5.1.4.
Release gun trigger safety catch and depress trigger to allow any air left in the system to escape, hold for 10 seconds and release.
5.1.5.
Switch the engine switch to the ON position ( press switch to " I " symbol). See fig.7.
5.1.6.
If starting the engine from cold move the choke lever fully to the right. See fig.7.
5.1.7.
To start the engine give a steady pull on the starting handle. The engine will be a little easier to start if the trigger is pressed during
starting. This must be done by a second person who can control the initial kickback as the water is expelled.
5.1.8.
As the engine warms up move the choke lever left into the 'run' position.
5.2.
NOZZLE SPRAY ADJUSTING fig.4.
5.2.1.
Adjust the nozzle pressure and spray pattern as described in section 4.3.
WARNING!
‰
a) Avoid sudden bursts of water as this will cause the water pressure to drop and put extreme pressure on the hoses and
connections.
b) 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.
5.3.
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
5.3.1.
Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
5.3.2.
In an emergency turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
WARNING! De-pressurise after cleaning is completed, turn off the water supply and pull the trigger to de-pressurise the unit. Failure
‰
to do so might result in personal injury due to discharge of high-pressure water.
5.4.
CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS
IMPORTANT This pressure washer is intended for use with special pressure washer detergents only. DO NOT use powdered soaps,
as this will clog the injection system. Follow the detergent manufacturer's directions.
IMPORTANT Working with a detergent ensures quick soaking of the dirt, and allows the high-pressure water to penetrate and remove
the dirt more effectively. Always spray detergent on a dry surface, DO NOT pre soak the area. Soaking the surface dilutes the
detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
WARNING! Damage may occur to surfaces if chemicals (detergents) are allowed to dry on them. Wash and rinse a small section at a
‰
time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or under direct sunlight.
5.4.1.
When applying detergents, always operate the unit at low water pressure position (fig.2). This provides a gentle application of the
detergent, with the water pressure equivalent to a garden hose. Always test the detergent in a concealed area before use.
5.4.2.
The liquid detergent will be mixed with water automatically, and discharged through the detergent nozzle at a low pressure.
5.4.3.
Allow detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on the surface.
5.5.
SHUTTING DOWN AND CLEANING UP
5.5.1.
Skip step 5.5.2 if you are not using detergent.
5.5.2.
After cleaning with detergent, fill the detergent tank with clean water. Spray water at a low pressure for one minute, so that all detergent
is flushed out of the system.
5.5.3.
Stop the engine (→ Section 5.3 Shut Down Procedure).
5.5.4.
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water supply from the water inlet.
5.5.5.
Point spray gun in safe direction, push trigger lock, and squeeze spray gun trigger to relieve retained high water pressure. Engage the
trigger safety lock (fig.3) on the spray gun.
5.5.6.
Disconnect the garden hose from the pump.
5.5.7.
Disconnect the pressure hose from the pump and pressure gun for storage. For long-term storage instructions, see section 7.8.
5.5.8.
Rewind the pressure hose and attach it to the hose hook.
5.5.9.
Disconnect the gun and wand, then insert them into the upper gun holder.
5.5.10.
Fold the handle and store.
NOTE:
After turning off the machine, wait for 20 minutes to prevent plastic parts from being burned by muffler, then fold the handle.
5.6.
ADDING/CHECKING OIL
IMPORTANT Oil has been drained for shipping. Failure to fill engine with oil before starting engine will result in permanent damage and
will void engine warranty.
WARNING! Always check the oil level before starting the engine, making sure the pressure washer is on a level surface.
‰
NOTE: When adding oil, use oil funnel. The dip stick is marked L (Low), H (High).
