EXPLORER G2 MANUAL - HIGH PRESSURE CLEANER
The manufacture reserves the right to modify design features and technical facts without notice: due to our principals of continuous improvement.
5. Confirm that the water supply is attached and turned
on to low pressure pump/facia inlet. Never start the
engine without the water supply turned ON. This can
damage the pump.
6. With the wand pointed in a safe direction, squeeze the
wash wand trigger to reduce pressure and allow the
engine to be started. Following the starting instructions
supplied in the engine manual, start the engine. Apply
choke or decamp before starting (If Applicable). Allow
the engine to warm up. Set the throttle to the full open
position (If Applicable). Release the trigger soon after
the engine starts.
7. (iGX Engine Only): the Honda iG390 is an auto throttle
engine. Engine will automatically idle down the revs
when off the trigger on the gun and will automatically
rev up when you press trigger on the gun.
8. Hot water burner operation: Press burner button (will
illuminate orange). Adjust thermostat dial to desired
working temperature, please note that once the gun
trigger is pulled the burner system will incur a delay
in startup (this is a protection feature) wait approx. 1
(one) minute for burner system to engage and begin to
produce hot water from the nozzle.
9. Wash Wand Lock Out – the wash wand includes a lock
out on the back of the trigger. Flip the lock out down
to prevent the operation of the trigger when the wash
wand is not in use.
If the unit will not generate the rated pressure or is erratic
• Make sure the engine throttle is properly adjusted to
the full open position.
• Turn unloader valve clockwise to increase pressure. Do
not force.
• Inspect system for leaks. Use caution during inspection
to prevent injury. If leaks are found, shut unit OFF
before fixing.
• Ensure the front part lance with nozzle is connected.
• Turn the unit OFF. Check the inlet hose and filter and
make sure that they clear of debris.
• Make sure there is adequate water flow to the unit.
• Turn the unit OFF. Remove the nozzle and clean the
orifices with the nozzle cleaning tool.
• Ensure correct nozzle orifice size is used and no signs
of excessive wear are evident.
• Activate trigger and run the unit to remove air or debris
from the system. Turn the unit OFF before removing or
attaching the lance/nozzle.
• Assume a proper operating position.
• Be sure you can control the ON/OFF action of a water
control valve. In case of emergency you must be able
to turn off water flow.
• Be sure that you have good balance and do not have
to overreach.
• You must be able to place one hand on the gun at all
times to control and support the lance.
This operating position will help to maintain control of the
gun and lance.
Pressure Washer Operator Speicifcs
1. When using as a pressure washer use both hands
to grip and direct the wash wand for greater control.
Never direct the wash wand at people. High pressure
fluid can inject under skin resulting in serious injury.
Never direct wash wand at electrical equipment or
wiring to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
2. Caution when hot water is in operation hoses fittings
and lances become hot, take relevant measures to
prevent burns and any injuries e.g hose sleeves and
appropriate PPE.
3. Control the flow of water with the trigger. Use care
when using the pressure washer. Holding the nozzle
too close to a surface can damage it. Test a small,
inconspicuous area to confirm the settings work as
desired.
4. Do not allow the unit to run for extended periods of
time with the trigger OFF. When the trigger is OFF,
water recirculates and it causes the water to heat up
and heat the pump up, a safety relive valve is fitted to
dump hot water if it gets too hot. (Bypass tank can
help bypass and cool the water.)
Machine Shut Down Procedure
1. When high pressure cleaning task is complete, release
high pressure trigger and return to the unit controls
with gun and spray lance.
2. Dial the thermostat to 0° C / off position. Proceed to
press burner button to off position.
3. Burner cool down procedure: Continue to spray gun
at ground to allow water through the system until front
part of metal lance can be touched safely, without risk
of burning the operator.
4. Idle down unit RPMs via throttle control (if applicable)
5. Proceed to power down the engine via kill switch or
key switch (if applicable). Refer to engine operator
manual.
6. Turn water supply OFF.
7. Release system back pressure by pressing the trigger
on the spray gun (if applicable).
8. Disconnect high and low pressure hoses and coil the
assembly for safety and proper storage.
