`
warNING!
ensure you read, understand and apply section 1 safety instructions.
warNING!
dry running can seriously damage the unit.
warNING!
use washer on a flat, level surface, in an upright position. failure to do so will invalidate your warranty. never lay the
washer down during use.
warNING!
DO NOT
leave washer switched on for more than 15 minutes without operating trigger.
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.
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.
5.3.
OperaTING The MaChINe.
5.3.1.
Hold the spray gun firmly to counteract the recoil caused by the high pressure of the water. Before switching on ensure that the lance
is not directed at people, objects or animals prior to being directed at the object to be cleaned.
5.3.2.
it is recommended that the trigger is depressed before switching on the unit before every use. this reduces the back pressure and
amperage draw which prevents fuses blowing.
5.3.3.
Switch the machine on by turning the switch to the ‘On’ position. Point the lance at the object to be cleaned and fully depress the trigger.
When the trigger is released the motor will automatically switch off.
5.4.
aDJusTING spraY paTTerN.
5.4.1.
the fan nozzle can be continuously varied by rotating the body of the nozzle as indicated in fig.5.
▲
CauTION!
the pencil point setting is very aggressive. it is recommended that for most cleaning applications, a twenty degree
spray angle is used to avoid damage to the surface being sprayed.
NOTe:
the pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning increases as you move the nozzle closer to the surface.
5.5.
usING DeTerGeNT.
5.5.1.
use only detergents approved for use in pressure washers.
5.5.2.
remove the lance from the gun and replace with the detergent dispenser (fig.4).
5.5.3.
fill the detergent bottle with detergent suitable for use with a pressure washer. the detergent will automatically be mixed with the
water and discharged through the nozzle.
NOTe:
detergent will only be drawn into the spray if the fan nozzle is used in the fan
(low pressure) setting.(fig.5). dirt is dissolved by applying detergent to the dry surface.
5.5.4.
on vertical surfaces, work from the bottom upwards.
5.5.5.
leave the detergent to act for 1-2 minutes, but
DO NOT
allow the surface to dry out.
5.5.6.
To wash down select the variable spray jet nozzle set on the wide fan setting (fig.5).
5.5.7.
When you have finished the soap application, remove the bottle and flush clean water through the tube until it is cleaned thoroughly.
NOTe:
Failure to clean properly will cause the injection system to become clogged and inoperable.
5.6.
wheN washING Is COMpLeTeD.
5.6.1.
Switch the power supply off by turning switch to ‘Off’ position.
5.6.2.
turn off the water supply tap.
5.6.3.
discharge residual pressure by pressing the trigger until no more water comes out of the nozzle.
warNING!
Failure to discharge pressure could result in personal injury.
5.6.4.
disconnect the inlet and high pressure outlet hoses.
5.6.5.
Wipe the machine clean and dry and store in a clean, safe, dry, childproof location.
NOTe:
DO NOT
leave motor switched on for more than 15 minutes without operating trigger. if the water pressure drops (e.g. someone
else using the same water supply), the washer will not operate correctly. in this situation immediately switch the motor off and wait until
the pressure is restored.
