OIL LEVEL
: Check the oil level in the water pump.
♦
BELT
: Make sure belt tension and condition is as
specified in MACHINE MAINTENANCE.
♦
METERING VALVE (
if so equipped): Make sure the
metering valve is closed before operation. If air enters
the system through this valve, poor performance and
machine damage will occur. Refer to the metering
valve insert for proper operation.
♦
WATER SUPPLY
: This machine must have a water
supply meeting or exceeding the maximum discharge
volume specified in the PERFORMANCE section, and
a minimum water inlet pressure of 40 PSI /12.1KGM.
1. Turn water supply.
2. With the gun assembly in hand (on trigger gun models
hold the trigger gun valve in open position) and with
a good flow of water turn the switch to the “pump”
position.
