5.5.
Operating the machine.
5.5.1.
Hold the spray gun firmly to counteract the recoil caused by the high pressure of the water.
5.5.2.
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.
5.5.3.
It is recommended that the trigger is depressed before switching the unit on before every use. This reduces the back pressure and
amperage draw which prevents fuses blowing.
5.5.4.
Switch the machine on by turning the switch to the ‘On’ position (fig.4.1). Release the handle safety catch (fig 2.3). 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.
5.5.5.
The delivery pressure is shown by the pressure gauge (fig.4.3).
.
Note:
The pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning increases as you move the nozzle closer to the surface.
5.6.
Using detergent
5.6.1.
Use only detergents approved for use in pressure washers.
5.6.2.
To add detergent, remove the cap and fill reservoir (fig.5).
5.6.3.
To switch to detergent mode, simply push the variable nozzle forwards to activate the low pressure setting. Pull the nozzle backwards
to resume normal washing see fig.6.
5.6.4.
Dirt is dissolved by applying detergent to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces, work from the bottom upwards. Leave the detergent to
act for 1-2 minutes, but
DO NOT
allow the surface to dry out.
5.6.5.
To wash down select the variable spray jet nozzle set on the wide fan setting, see fig.7.
5.6.6.
After using the detergent system, flush through with clean water.
Note:
Failure to clean properly will cause the injection system to become clogged and inoperable.

WARNING:
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. Switch the motor
fig.4
fig.5
fig.6
fig.7
off immediately and wait until the pressure is restored.
5.7.
When washing is completed.
5.7.1.
Turn off the water supply tap.
5.7.2.
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.
5.7.3.
Disconnect the inlet hose and coil the outlet hose back onto the reel.
5.7.4.
Wipe the machine clean and dry and store in a clean, safe, dry, childproof location.
