8. Start Up and Operation
Before starting the machine the user must be familiar with the engine
starting and stopping procedure and any safety requirements stated in the
engine manufacturer’s handbook supplied with the unit.
Start the engine by turning key on the
engine instrument box.
START ENGINE
Ensure the engine throttle control lever
is fully forward for reduced engine Rpm.
Release the trigger gun safety latch on the lance assembly. Point the lance towards
the item being cleaned and pull the trigger to start the high pressure jet. The machine
will start sucking water from the supply tank, firstly purging any air in the suction hose
assembly. NOTE: Engine speed fluctuation and a “stuttering” water jet is normal whilst
air is purged from the suction line. Priming can be helped by flooding the suction hose
assembly prior to connection to the machine and/or disconnecting the high pressure
hose - ENSURE YOU STOP THE UNIT ONCE PRIMED BEFORE TRYING TO RE-
CONNECT THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE.
INTIAL PRIMING
OPERATION
• Once primed, adjust the engine throttle control
lever to achieve full engine revs and full
working performance of the pressure washer.
• The high pressure jet is stopped and started
by releasing and pulling the trigger gun lever,
when the trigger is released the machine
goes in to bypass mode returning water to the
supply tank.
• The flow of the pressure washer can be
adjusted by increasing/decreasing the engine
revs.
