IMPORTANT
:
Before use, ensure the water supply is of adequate volume for your needs, e.g., if
you use a water butt - ensure it contains sufficient water.
3. Low Pressure Inlet
The low pressure water inlet is located
on the front right of the machine.
A suitable hose (not supplied), may
be attached, via a quick fit coupling
(not supplied but available from any
hardware or DIY store) to the
coupling provided, (arrowed in Fig.5).
The other end of the hose should be
connected to your water supply.
4. Fuel
Unscrew the fuel filler cap, and fill the tank with diesel fuel or paraffin, but
DO NOT
mix them.
WARNING: NEVER USE PETROL
NOTE:
The high pressure hose is secured to the handle by
means of a latch shown in Fig.4.
To remove the hose, prise the latch down, to the
position shown, and pull out the hose.

A. COLD WASH
Make certain the PUMP ON/OFF switch
mounted on right front of the unit, is set in
the ‘O’ - OFF position.
Connect the plug to the mains supply,
preferably via a Residual Current Device.
Turn the water tap fully on.
When starting, it is
IMPORTANT
that you
adopt the following procedure:
In order to ease the starting process, and to
prevent the possibility of blown fuses, pull

the trigger on the lance - it may be necessary to release the safety latch in order
to do so.
Hold the trigger in that position whilst switching the pump ON by turning the ON-
OFF knob to ‘I’, and allow the pump to develop full pressure.
You may release the trigger once full pressure is developed.
WARNING
Ensure the operator is aware that when the trigger is pulled, water at high
pressure can cause the lance to kick. It should therefore be held firmly.
In addition, care must be taken to ensure that the nozzle is NOT aimed at
an area where the water jet will cause damage. i.e. away from people,
animals, windows - greenhouses etc., and be aware that splash back
could also cause damage if the jet is trained on a nearby wall etc.
ON-OFF switch
In the event that you switch the machine OFF but intend to continue with its use
after a few minutes or so, DO NOT depress the trigger, but set the safety latch to
prevent it from being pulled. This will ease and assist the subsequent restarting of the
motor as pressure will remain equalised on either side of the pump, thereby reducing
the load on the motor when restarting.
NEVER run the machine with the water supply disconnected or turned off
.

The lance will produce either a pencil jet, or
a Fan jet, as required, by twisting the nozzle
as indicated in Fig.7,
