•
The engine is now running, pump is pumping and water is running in by-pass.
•
Pull the trigger on the gun by pointing the lance in a safe direction.
•
When the trigger is released, the pump is still pumping and water is in by-pass.
NOTE:
•
During the first 10 to 12 hours of operation, manufacturing debris like SWARF /
LOCTITE may come through the machine and cause blockages of the high pressure jet.
Switch the machine off, trigger the gun to release stored pressure, remove nozzle and
clean if this occurs.
•
Do not crank the engine excessively – no more than 10 – 20 seconds at a time. Allow 2
minutes for starter motor to cool down.
•
Engine REVS is locked! Do not unlock or change as this will void your warranty. Engine
revs has been set so engine is running at peak engine torque curve at comfortable
revs – set to the power requirement for the pump, pressure and flow. DO NOT ALTER!
FAULT INDICATOR LIGHTS:
•
For units fitted with control boxes with indicator lights: The RED light is an engine fault
indicator light – check fuel or yellow engine isolator switch (if fitted)
•
The ORANGE light is a water fault indicator light: Check water level or water supply when
lit.
REMEMBER: Check Oil Levels DAILY!
OPERATING/CLEANING TIPS:
1. Using a Fan Jet, first blast off heavy soil or dirt build-up. The unit comes standard with a 15
degree nozzle correctly sized for the pressure and flow for your machine. Always use the
same size nozzle (NEW) to test the machine for performance
2. Apply detergent to partially cleaned surface using low pressure. (Apply detergent by
spraying from bottom up to avoid streaking - using a dual-lance and detergent assembly.)
Allow to soak for a few minutes.
3. Blast off dirt using high pressure and a 'bottom - up' approach.
4. Lastly, rinse off thoroughly with 'top down' approach.
SHUTTING DOWN:
•
Turn the ignition key to OFF (Portable Industrial) or the ON/OFF switch to OFF (all other
units)
•
Turn off water supply and disconnect from water supply (Portable units only)
•
Squeeze gun several times to release any stored pressure
•
Lay out high pressure hose straight and then reel back up onto reel (if fitted with reel)
•
Lock reel into place using the barrel bolt (only on Trailers and Skid-mount units)
REGULAR CHECKS:
•
Check all oil levels :
o
KOHLER / YANMAR engine oil level – check dip-stick. Use SAE 15W40.
o
Gearbox oil level (sight glass should be half) SAE80W90 Gearbox oil.
o
Pump oil level (sight glass should be half full) SAE 15W40.
•
Water Supply
- Low water supply can cause cavitation and/or pump running dry casing
expensive pump failure. Always check to ensure supply is:
o
Uninterrupted
o
Pressure is good (10 PSI / 30 LPM)
o
There are no kinks in supply hose
o
Fittings are in good condition and not leaking
