1.5.1. Electricity can kill - NEVER use pressure washer jet to come into contact with LIVE or ENERGISED equipment. It can also cause severe burns. 1.5.2. NEVER work on or near electricity with wet hands, wet clothing, and wet gloves. 1.6. Vibrations. 1.6.1. Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the effects of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud's phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue death. 1.6.2. Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white finger. Note the following to reduce the risk the white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome: 1.6.2.1. Wear gloves and keep your hands warm 1.6.2.2. Take regular breaks 1.6.3. All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not rule out carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore recommended to observe the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical attention immediately if any of the above symptoms should occur. 1.8. Noise. 1.8.1. The operating noise of the machine can damage your hearing. Wear hearing protection such as earplugs or ear defenders to protect your hearing.

reliability of this machine prior to any operation.

5.2 Using the machine.

ALWAYS Start slowly with half throttle and keep a firm grip on lance.

5.2.1. Before starting the machine you MUST connect to and turn on a water supply and high pressure hose to the machine, connect the lance and trigger assembly. 5.2.1. Nozzle selection. The machine is supplied with 5 nozzles. Red/Yellow/Green/White and Black. With the exception of the Black (soap nozzle) they all give a different spray pattern.

0° - Pin point, for use on hard/embedded dirt/grime on brick/ concrete patios

surfaces

15 °/25 ° - Concentrated to optimize cleaning power and time, for use on paint

stains, oil, dense dirt and mildew. On wooden decks, walls, drives and patio

surfaces. 40 ° - Efficient for general cleaning power, for use on general loose dirt/grime paint stains, oil, dense dirt and mildew. Can be

used on most surface such as cars, wooden decks outdoor furniture and patios

Soap injection – Used to apply cleaning solutions to surfaces recommended by

detergent supplier. Can be used to prepare all surfaces to provide thorough cleaning.

5.2.2. The quick–release on the lance allows you to switch between five different quick-release nozzles. DO NOT change nozzles whilst the lance trigger is operated. Pull back the collar on the quick release mechanism and remove the nozzles and fit the desired nozzle.5.2.3. Cleaning tips. Before cleaning you are advised to jet wash a test area first and only when you are happy with the results should you proceed with the current task. 5.2.3.1. For most effective cleaning, keep nozzle from 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface. 5.2.3.2. If you get nozzle too close, especially using a high pressure nozzle, you may damage surface being cleaned. 5.2.4. Using black soap nozzle.

Page 17 First edition - April 2017

Page 18: PETROL PRESSURE WASHER · 2017. 6. 29. · pressure washer jet towards anyone, which includes adults, children, all pets and livestock or other objects that can be damaged. 1.9.2.

NEVER use chemicals or caustic liquids that cause bodily injury and/or property damage. You MUST always follow the manufacturer’s advice and guidance on how to use detergents5.2.4.1. To apply detergent, follow these steps: Fit black soap nozzle, prepare detergent solution as required by job, place small filter end of detergent siphoning tube into detergent container. NOTE: Make sure the filter is fully submerged in detergent while applying detergent. This washer will only draw soap with the black soap nozzle. The Red, Yellow, Green and White nozzles will not draw soap. 5.2.4.2. Apply detergents to the surface using long even and overlapping strokes. In general leave the detergent on the surface for five minutes or as advised by the detergent manufacturer. DO NOT allow the detergent to dry on the surface. 5.4.4.3. Once you have completed the soap application process you MUST flush the detergent siphoning system after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of clean water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure for 1-2 minutes. Failure to do this will result in blocked siphoning tubes and filter.

Page 19: PETROL PRESSURE WASHER · 2017. 6. 29. · pressure washer jet towards anyone, which includes adults, children, all pets and livestock or other objects that can be damaged. 1.9.2.

Always stop the engine and unplug the spark plug before doing any repairs or maintenance. Never touch the rotating nylon cord or blade. Check and maintain fuel & oil levels regularly, and maintain the correct levels. Frequently check at regular intervals for the tightness of all nuts, bolts and screws. If the machine vibrates badly stop the machine and take it to a service dealer.

Always refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and spark plug HT cap removed. Whilst carrying out maintenance you must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Suggested PPE Sturdy footwear, work gloves, long trousers and hearing protection.

NEVER use the pressure washer to clean itself. Water can penetrate the power unit and cause damage the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability. Shut down the engine, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop, remove HT lead, and then wait for 5 minutes before performing maintenance on the pressure washer. Guards and Shields: Make sure all guards and shields are replaced after servicing the pressure washer. Keep your pressure washer upright: Never lay your pressure washer on its side while moving, storing, or using it. Oil could leak and damage your pressure washer’s engine and surrounding areas. You MUST comply with local and current regulations that apply to the use of your pressure washer. There may be additional regulations that apply if your pressure washer is used on construction sites.

6.8.1. Preparing the engine for long-term storage if you will not be using the machine again for more than 30 days. Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days.

Please refer to the engine owner’s manual for storage procedures for the specific engine you have on your Pressure Washer. In general there are two options: 6.8.1.1. Remove all petrol from the tank and carburetor, see engine owner’s manual, or, add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline as per the engine manufacturer owner’s manual 6.8.1.2. Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove spark plug 6.8.1.3. Add one teaspoon of oil through spark plug hole. Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil starter handle a few times lightly to lubricate the combustion chamber. 6.8.1.4. Replace spark plug, but do not reconnect the spark plug wire. Pull the recoil slowly until the highest resistance is felt. NOTE: Return the recoil handle gently. 6.8.1.5. Confirm that all pressure has been released from the machine and that all of the valves are closed.

6.9. Preparing pressure washer for freezing conditions.

DO NOT allow water to freeze in the pressure washer, high pressure hose, or spray gun. Freezing water can cause damage to the equipment and cause the spray gun to fail in the open position. A spray gun that has failed in the open position can whip around and cause personal injury when the pressure washer is started. Damage caused by freezing will not be covered by warranty.

6.9.1. If you are storing the pressure washer in freezing temperatures, you must properly prepare the pressure washer to prevent water from freezing in the system. 6.9.1.1. Drain all water from the high pressure hose and spray gun by depressing the trigger on the spray gun until all the water drains out. 6.9.1.2. Disconnect the plumbing that connects to the pump outlet. 6.9.1.3. Obtain the following materials;

12“/300mm piece of garden hose or equivalent, and a funnel, approximately 6 oz. of antifreeze.

6.9.1.4. Attach the 12”/300mm piece of garden hose with the funnel to the pump water inlet. Pour antifreeze into the funnel, and then have another person slowly pull the recoil a few times with the engine switch off and the fuel valve closed, until the antifreeze comes out of the pump outlet.

Fuel and its vapors can ignite and causing fires. You MUST select a well-ventilated storage area away
