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 :
oHONDA engine oil level –check dip-stick. Use manufacturer’s recommendations.
oGearbox oil level (sight glass should be half) SAE80W90 Gearbox oil.
oPump 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:
oUninterrupted
oPressure is good (10 PSI / 30 LPM)
oThere are no kinks in supply hose
oFittings 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
Operating Pressure - Check operating pressure to see if it within 10% of units specified
operating pressure. If pressure drops over time it may indicate general wear and tear and a
service is recommended.
