•
Move the grey fuel lever all the way to the top
•
Pull out the Choke
•
Turn the ignition key clockwise to the START position
•
As soon as the engine fires up, push the Choke back in
•
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.
To Shut down:
•
Push the grey fuel lever down all the way
•
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove for safe keeping
•
Turn off fuel supply by closing the tap
•
Squeeze the trigger a few times to release any stored pressure.
•
Roll out the hose and then roll it up avoiding any kinks
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!
REMEMBER: Check for leaks and 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.
REGULAR CHECKS:
•
Check all oil levels :
o
KOHLER engine oil level – check dip-stick. Use manufacturer’s recommendations.
o
Gearbox oil level (sight glass should be half) SAE80W90 Gearbox oil.
o
Pump oil level (sight glass should be half full) SAE 15W40 / SAE 10W/40 SAE 30
•
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
•
Worn Jets
-System will function okay, but with oversized, worn jets, the pressure will be
much lower and cleaning ability reduced. Always use new jets to check operation efficiency
