OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions to operate the machine:
1.
Use the pre-operation checklist to help avoid personal injury.
2.
Prime the pump and purge air from the system by squeezing the gun trigger before
starting the machine, with the unit attached to a pressure main. Let the water flow
from the wand until air is purged from system.
3.
Turn the engine fuel valve to ON.
4.
Close choke lever located on engine carburettor as per engine manufacturer
instructions.
5.
Turn engine switch to ON.
6.
Set engine throttle lever position to half throttle - pull starter cord to start engine.
7.
For easier starting, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun allowing water to pass
through gun and pull the engine starter handle.
8.
As engine begins to warm up, gradually move the choke lever to open.
9.
Set the engine throttle lever position to full throttle.
10.
The manufacturer has adjusted the pump pressure to its maximum operating
pressure. Simply adjust the pressure required for cleaning with a selected nozzle
from the quick connect nozzle set.
Change nozzles to desired spray pattern (0°,15°, 40°) or BLACK detergent nozzle. DO
THIS ONLY WHEN THE TRIGGER IS NOT SQUEEZED AND THE GUN SAFETY LOCK IS ON.
11. You are now ready to start cleaning with your pressure cleaner. Hold the spray gun
firmly and squeeze the trigger. CAUTION: NEVER POINT THE SPRAY GUN AT PEOPLE,
ANIMALS OR PLANTS. Always begin high pressure cleaning with the nozzle at least 1
metre from the object being cleaned and gradually move the nozzle closer to the
object until it is cleaned.
12. To draw chemical/detergent, be sure the pick-up tube is installed into the
chemical/detergent container with the tube sub merged in the solution. Change
quick connection nozzle to the detergent nozzle and squeeze the gun trigger. The
detergent will be drawn up and out of the lance. When the object is covered replace
the
detergent nozzle with a high pressure one.
13. Never allow the pump to run for more than a 3 minute period without opening the
gun. This will cause the pump damage due to excessive water temperature and void
the warranty. (A thermal relief valve has been added to the pump to reduce the
possibility of overheating, however, malfunction of this device does not constitute
pump warranty for damage caused by overheating.)
14. As you operate the machine, be sure the water inlet supply hose does not become
kinked.
15. The maximum engine RPM has been set by the manufacturer. Tampering with the
engine governor will void pump warranty.
16. Do not exceed the manufacturer's maximum pressure by increasing the unloader
adjustment. (This will void pump warranty.)
