Important! The washer motor will stop as soon as the gun trigger is
released and will restart when the trigger is squeezed. Always allow at least
5 seconds between releasing the trigger and restarting.
5.1.
Primary checks.
Check that the inlet filter is clean; pump delivery and
pressure will be reduced if blocked. Never use the machine without a filter
(which is fitted inside inlet connector). Ensure that the water supply, high
pressure hose and gun are correctly connected, and that air can freely
circulate around the washer.
5.2
Operation of safety catch
. To prevent inadvertent operation of the unit
the safety catch should always be engaged when the gun is not in use.
Turn the catch 90° away from the trigger to lock it, towards the trigger to
unlock it (fig.6).
5.3
Bleeding The Gun
It is very important to bleed the gun before using the pressure washer.
Squeeze the trigger BEFORE turning the electrical supply on. This allows
any air trapped inside the pressure washer and gun to be removed before
using the unit. Continue holding the trigger for approximately one
minute to allow any excess air out of the unit. Water will flow through the
gun at low pressure during this procedure.
