4.2 Pressure Washer (Optional)
The pressure washer is used to clean the machine. It comprises a
hydraulically driven high pressure pump (90 Bar) which pumps
water to the spray nozzle via a hand held lance. Always hold lance
with 2 hands.
DO NOT
point the spray nozzle at people or animals, as the high pressure spray can cause serious injury.
DO NOT
spray close to engine air intake stack inlet as this can cause permanent damage to the engine.
Avoid jetting electrical areas on the machine (wiring, plugs, sockets, electrical junction boxes, safety switches
& lights).
Avoid close jetting of the tyres as the high pressure jet may damage the side walls.
The pressure washer takes its water from the dust suppression tanks via a filter. This filter should be carefully
cleaned periodically. If the water tank should run dry, switch off the pressure washer immediately.
The oil reservoir may require topping up from time to time. There is a sight glass for checking the oil level.
Use Turbo Diesel Engine Oil 15W40 Grade API CF/ACEA 2.
The pressure washer is started by operating the switch with the
“Lance-spray” symbol. The engine must be running with the mode
in sweep position (mid position) and the Forward/Neutral/Reverse
lever in Neutral. The Lance is removed from the holder and the
hose is pulled out from the storage area. Point the Lance spray
nozzle towards the ground and pull the Lance trigger.
In frosty weather drain down the water system to protect pump, filter,
pipes and tanks.
After use, switch off the pressure washer switch and carefully stow the hose and lance in their respective
storage locations, behind the suction fan door.
NEVER point the spray at people or animals.
