Engine Operators Handbook. Any modifications to the machine will affect its working parameters and reduce built in safety factors. Refer to TASKMAN before fitting any non-standard equipment or parts. TASKMAN accept no responsibility for any modifications made after the machine has left the factory, unless previously agreed in writing. - Page 11 SAFE WORKING Always be aware of the Lance Reaction Force when operating this machine. Always know how to stop the machine and bleed the water pressure quickly. Never over reach or stand on unstable supports, keep your footing and balance at all times. Never operate this machine from ladders or step ladders.
- Page 12 SAFE WORKING Never smoke whilst filling the fuel tank, mop up any fuel spills immediately and in any event before running the engine and allow time for any vapours from the spilled fuel to disperse before starting the engine. Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area, exhaust fumes in enclosed areas can kill.
- Page 13 SAFE WORKING Many liquids used in this machine are harmful if taken internally or splashed into the eyes. In the event of accidentally swallowing oils or fuels, seek qualified medical assistance and advice. Always dispose of waste oils and fuels into designated waste oil storage tanks.

Page 15: Operation
OPERATION Never commence work until the daily service checks have been carried out. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION High speed pumps can be fed from mains water tap pressure (POSITIVE PRESSURE) or draw from a tank or sump via suction (NEGATIVE PRESSURE) however if used on suction (NEGATIVE PRESSURE) for prolonged periods premature seal wear is likely to result. - Page 16 OPERATION Never commence work until the daily service checks have been carried out. PRIMING THE WATER PUMP Each time the machine is put into operation the water pump will require priming before it will operate correctly. Priming the pump and hoses removes any air which may be trapped in the system and which may affect the correct operation of the pump and prevent the full working pressure from being reached.
- Page 17 OPERATION Never commence work until the daily service checks have been carried out. LOW PRESSURE CHEMICAL APPLICATION The Low Pressure Chemical Application facility is an optional extra and may/may not be available on the machine. Totally immerse the filter on the chemical suction hose in the chemical solution container, connect the opposite end of the hose to the chemical induction on the water pump.
- Page 18 OPERATION Never commence work until the daily service checks have been carried out. STARTING THE ENGINE Petrol Driven Units Read the engine operators manual before attempting to start the engine. Connect the inlet/suction hose to a suitable tap or completely immerse the inlet filter in the tank or sump.
- Page 19 OPERATION gun is operated the EASYSTART valve will close and the water will stop discharging. Each time the trigger gun is closed water will discharge through the EASYSTART valve again. This is a built in safety feature of this unit to avoid overheating the pump and to ease starting.
- Page 20 OPERATION To avoid damage to the water pump and gearbox (if fitted) never allow the diesel engine to run on idle/tick over speed for prolonged periods of time. MODEL PW200 ONLY As water enters the pump it will discharge through the EASYSTART valve in the pump to atmosphere, this is correct.
- Page 21 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE DAILY SERVICE CHECKS Read the engine operators manual for items in addition to those listed below. Check condition of suction and pressure hose and lance. Check suction filter, (if fitted) Check the fuel level. Check condition of air filter element, and clean replace as necessary.
- Page 22 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Check all controls for correct operation. Report any faults or missing equipment or damage immediately. WEEKLY SERVICE CHECKS Read the engine operators manual for items in addition to those listed below. All the daily service checks plus check condition of water filter and clean as necessary, the water filter is normally located in the water inlet port of the pressure relief valve, see page 20 to identify the type of filter installed.
