SAFETY CATCH OPERATION
6.2.1.
To prevent inadvertent operation of the unit, the safety catch in the base of the trigger should always be engaged when the gun is not in
use (fig.5).
6.3.
BLEEDING THE GUN
6.3.1.
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.
6.4.
PRESSURE SETTING
6.4.1.
There are three levels of pressure settings (fig.4). Level 1 is the setting suitable for cleaning fences, cement terraces etc. Level 2
setting is suitable for cleaning vehicles, boats, motorcycles etc. Level 3 setting is suitable for cleaning barbeque grills, garden tools etc.
NOTE:
The default level at start up is Level 2.
6.5.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
6.5.1.
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.
6.5.2.
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.
6.5.3.
Switch the machine on by turning the switch to the ‘ON’ position (fig.1). Release the handle safety catch (fig.5). Point the lance at the
object to be cleaned and depress the trigger fully. When the trigger is released the motor will switch off automatically.
6.6.
ADJUSTING THE SPRAY PATTERN
6.6.1.
The fan nozzle can be adjusted from pencil point to fan jet by rotating the body of the nozzle (fig.3)
WARNING!
The pencil point setting is very aggressive. It is recommended that for most cleaning applications, a 20° spray angle is used
to avoid damage to the surface being sprayed.
6.7.
USING DETERGENT
6.7.1.
The detergent container is located on the rear of the unit. Add detergent (maximum volume 1 litre).
6.7.2.
Rotate the nozzle to the Low Pressure setting as indicated on the nozzle body (fig.3).
6.7.3.
When the unit is operated, detergent will be drawn into the water flow.
6.7.4.
To prevent detergent inclusion, reset the nozzle to the High Pressure setting as indicated on the nozzle body (fig.3).
6.8.
TELESCOPIC HANDLE
6.8.1.
To adjust the handle depress the button on the side of the unit (fig.6) and move handle either up or down. When it is in the correct
position, a click will be heard and the handle will be held in place.
6.9.
WHEN WASHING IS COMPLETED
6.9.1.
Switch the power supply off by turning switch to ‘Off’ position (fig.1).
6.9.2.
Turn off the water supply tap.
6.9.3.
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.
6.9.4.
Disconnect the inlet and high pressure outlet hoses.
6.9.5.
Wipe the machine clean and dry and store in a clean, safe, dry, childproof location.
NOTE:
a)
DO NOT
leave motor switched on for more than 15 minutes without operating trigger.
b) If the water pressure drops (e.g. someone else using the same water supply), the washer will not operate correctly.
Immediately switch the motor off and wait until the pressure is restored.
7. MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Ensure the pressure washer is switched off and unplugged from the mains electrical power supply and turned off at the
mains water tap before performing any maintenance tasks.
Check, clean or renew the inlet filter (which is fitted inside the inlet connector fig.1.9) after every 50 hours of use.
Use only genuine Sealey spares for this machine. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and will invalidate the warranty.
7.1.
NOZZLES
7.1.1.
Ensure that both nozzles are kept clean and free of debris.
7.1.2.
The variable nozzle should be lubricated regularly. Clogging of the nozzle causes the pump pressure to be too high and cleaning is
