to start. This will relieve any load on the engine, making for an easier start.
2.
Be aware that the pump delivers a considerable pressure. If the lance is set to high
pressure and the trigger is depressed, you will experience a kick back. Ensure you
are prepared for this, and hold the lance firmly. DO NOT allow children to hold or
operate the lance.
6.
Pull the starter with a quick firm action. Allow the cord
to recoil fully into its housing whilst retaining a grip on
the handle. Repeat operation until the engine starts.
As soon as the engine starts, slowly move the throttle
lever back towards stop until the engine is running at a
reasonable tick over speed and not racing flat out.

will be ejected. Note that it may be
necessary to unlock the trigger by pushing
in the yellow button,above the trigger. This
should be set to ensure the gun is not
‘fired’ accidentally.
The spray pattern can be adjusted to
create various patterns and pressures, see
Fig .11. Pull nozzle out (A) for high pressure
and in (B) for low.
Rotate the nozzle to vary the spray from
a fan to a straight jet.
Rotate the nozzle anticlockwise (C) for fan
pattern and clockwise (D) for a straight jet.
CHEMICAL CLEANING AGENTS
To improve cleaning qualities, chemical cleaning agents (detergents) may be injected
into the low pressure spray. This is particularly useful for washing cars, greasy engine parts,
oil spots on concrete etc.
To inject a detergent, insert the clear plastic hose into the detergent container, ensuring it is
completely submerged, also check the other end is securely attached to the pump shown
in Fig. 8b.
N
OTE: Use ONLY detergents designed for use with power washers. We recommend the use
of CLARKE Traffic Film Remover, which is a powerful low foaming agent, for car
cleaning, as well as other cleaning tasks.
When detergent injection is required, adjust the nozzle to the low pressure setting, the
detergent will automatically be drawn into the water supply when sprayed.
Spray the detergent on to the vehicle, patio etc., and allow it to work itself into the grime.
To rinse, set the lance to its’ high pressure setting, and blast off the dirt.
After cleaning, suspend the detergent hose in a container of clean water. Set the lance to
low pressure with the engine running and the mains water supply ‘on’. Depress the trigger
of the lance, and thoroughly flush out the system.
