5.1
PRIMARY CHECKS
5.1.1 Check that the inlet filter is clean; pump delivery and pressure will be reduced if blocked.
5.1.2 Never use the machine without a filter (which is fitted inside the hose connector, see contents, item 6).
5.1.3 Ensure that the water supply, high pressure hose and gun are correctly connected, and that air can freely circulate around the washer.
5.2
OPERATION OF SAFETY CATCH
5.2.1 To prevent inadvertent operation of the unit the safety catch should always be engaged when the gun is not in use.
5.2.2 To activate the safety catch, ensure trigger is released and slide the safety button across (fig 9).
5.2.3 To release simply press button in the opposite direction.
5.3
OPERATING THE MACHINE
5.3.1 Hold the spray gun firmly to counteract the recoil caused by the high pressure of the water.
5.3.2 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. It is recommended that the trigger is depressed before switching on the unit before every use. This reduces the back pressure
and amperage draw which prevents fuses blowing.
5.3.3 Turn on the water supply (fig 7).
5.3.4 Switch the machine on by pressing the button marked ‘I’ (fig 8).
5.3.5 Release the safety catch (fig 9).
5.3.6 Point the lance at the object to be cleaned and fully depress the trigger.
5.4
USING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER (see contents, item 7)
5.4.1 Use only detergents approved for use in pressure washers.
5.4.2 Unscrew the detergent bottle from the detergent dispenser.
5.4.3 Fill the detergent bottle with soap or wax and screw back onto the detergent dispenser.
5.4.4 Attach the detergent dispenser (fig 10).
5.4.4 The chemical will be automatically mixed with the water and discharged through the nozzle.
5.4.5 Dirt is dissolved by applying detergent to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces, work from the bottom upwards.
5.4.6 Leave the detergent to act for 1 - 2 minutes, but DO NOT allow the surface to dry out.
5.4.7 To wash down, install the lance and use to clean the surface.
5.5
WHEN WASHING IS COMPLETED
5.5.1 Switch the power supply off by pressing the button marked ‘O’ (fig 8).
5.5.2 Turn off the water supply tap.
5.5.3 Discharge residual pressure by pressing the trigger until no more water comes out of the nozzle.
5.5.4 Engage the trigger safety catch and unplug the machine from the electrical mains power supply.
5.5.5 Wipe the machine clean and dry and store in the blow mould case supplied.
NOTE:
a) DO NOT leave motor switched on for more than 1-2 minutes without operating trigger.
b) If the water pressure drops (i.e. someone else using the same water supply), the washer will not operate correctly.
Immediately switch off the motor and wait until the pressure is restored.
c) Should the motor stop and fail to restart, the built in thermal cut-out may have tripped. Check to ensure that the washer is
connected correctly to electrical and water supplies (also see Section 6 Troubleshooting). Wait 5 minutes for the cut-out to reset
and re-start the motor. If the motor continues to cut out contact your authorised service agent.
d) If storing the washer for a long period during winter, operate the washer with a non-corrosive, non-toxic anti-freeze before
storage.
Store detergents according to instructions on the container label.
