Getting started

PRE START CHECKLIST

Once you reach this point ensure you have done the following:

∙All safety instructions read and understood

∙All hose connections are tightened and hoses free of kinks

∙Adequate amounts of lubrication and fuel have been added to the engine

∙Water source connected and turned on; Note: cold water only

∙All operation instructions read and understood

*The pump has been oiled at the factory – the engine has not.

Preparation before starting:

∙Add SAE 30 oil (SAE 10W30 multigrade for cold climates) to the engine (600ml) Note: There will be a residual amount of oil in the engine from factory testing

∙Check the engine has an adequate fuel supply (unleaded, regular gasoline)

∙Make sure that the work area has sufficient ventilation

∙Ensure the ignition cable is secured to the spark plug

∙Ensure water supply is turned on

1.Turn the fuel cock to the on position

2.Move the engine switch to the “on” position

3.Move the choke lever to the on position

ONOFF

TO START:

4.Pull the trigger gun lever, to prevent pressure build up within the pump while starting. For safety reasons ensure the nozzle is removed whenever starting the unit. Note * Failure to open the trigger valve while starting, may overload the recoil starter causing damage to the mechanism.

5.Engage the recoil starter by pulling the rope handle out 25 to 50mm (1 to 2”).

6.Then deliver a short sharp pull to crank the engine over. In general most units will fire and start on choke after two or three pulls.

7.Reduce choke as the engine warms up. The choke should be completely off after 2 or 3 minutes.

TO STOP:

1.Move the engine stop switch to the “stop” position. The engine will stop immediately.

2.Turn water supply off.

9

HIGH PRESSURE OPERATION

Never pull the hose to move the unit. This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

Never allow pump to run with water hose turned off or kinked. Shutting off the water supply to the pump while it is operating may cause serious pump damage.

Do not let hoses contact HOT engine muffler during or immediately after use, as this will damage the hose.

Interchangeable Nozzles:

∙Pull back the quick connect lock ring, firmly insert the desired nozzle and then release the lock ring.

∙Make sure the spray nozzle is properly locked in place with its quick coupler, if the collar is not (Forward) in the locking position, the nozzle may become a dangerous projectile. The O-ring from your quick coupler socket may also be blown out of place.

Explanation:

0° nozzle setting – A pinpoint stream. This nozzle stream is very powerful and covers a very small area of cleaning. Only to be used on surfaces that can withstand this high pressure (metal or concrete).

15° to 25° nozzle setting – Used for less powerful stream which can cover a wider area. This nozzle setting is also very powerful and should only be used on surfaces that can withstand this high pressure.

40°nozzle setting – Used for the least powerful stream and covers a wide area of cleaning. This nozzle setting should be used for most general cleaning jobs.

10

Pressure Adjustment:

The maximum working pressure is pre-set at the factory and can not be overridden. By turning the pressure adjustment knob anti-clockwise you can reduce both the pressure and water volume being supplied from the pump.

Low Pressure Detergent Operation:

The Black Tip – will lower the pressure and allow chemical to be drawn through the downstream chemical injector.

∙Change the high pressure nozzle for the Detergent (Black) Nozzle. (Be sure the quick coupler is fully engaged before pulling the trigger)

∙The chemical injector will only work when this (black) nozzle is used.

∙Push the ¼” clear plastic hose to the inlet barb o f the chemical injector located near the high pressure hose connection (item 8, page 2).

∙Insert the loose end of the detergent pick up hose into the desired chemical.

Be sure to flush the injection system with clean water after use.

∙Place the chemical injector hose in a bucket of clean water and operate for one minute.

Thermal Relief Valve:

During normal operation, the cold water from your water supply passes through the inside of the pressure pump allowing the pump to maintain a normal operating temperature. When you let go of the trigger, the pump enters by-pass mode and re-circulates water within the pump.

If the unit is left in the by-pass mode for more than two (2) minutes, the water temperature may rise to a dangerous level causing cavitation and possible damage to internal components of the pump. As a safe guard against damage from overheating, pumps are equipped with a thermal relief valve. This safety valve will open when the internal water temperature becomes too high, once cool the valve will close again automatically.

Do not attempt to run hot water into the pump or allow your unit to operate in the by-pass mode for long periods of time (2 minutes max), as overheating of the pump will cause component damage.

Shut Off Procedure:

1.Turn engine switch to off position. NOTE: NEVER turn the water off with the engine running.

2.Move fuel tap to off position.

11

MAINTENANCE:

WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO HOT SURFACES, WATER PRESSURE, MOVING PARTS, OR FIRE WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN COMPLETELY AND RELEASE ALL WATER PRESSURE. THE ENGINE CONTAINS FLAMMABLE FUEL. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR OPEN FLAMES WHILE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.

Nozzle cleaning:

If the nozzle becomes clogged with foreign material, such as sand, flow will cease or become restricted. Clean the nozzle immediately using the nozzle cleaner supplied and the following instructions:

∙Shut off the pressure washer and turn off the water supply.

∙Pull trigger on gun handle to relieve any built up water pressure.

∙Remove the nozzle from the lance assembly.

∙Turn the nozzle end up.

∙The nozzle hole is approximately 1mm in diameter, it is the smallest hole in the system, even a single grain of sand can block the nozzle.

∙Clean the nozzle using the nozzle cleaner provided or wire of appropriate size. Insert into the nozzle end and push. Remember that any obstruction will have been lodged in place under very high pressure and may require an equal amount of force in the opposite direction to dislodge it.

∙It is important that you see the obstruction come out of the lance, otherwise the nozzle may block again.

∙Reconnect nozzle to lance and turn on water supply.

∙Recommence operation.

Water Inlet Screen Cleaning:

The water inlet filter screen should be checked periodically and cleaned whenever necessary.

1.Remove the water inlet hose connection to expose the inlet filter.

2.Remove the filter screen and flush with clean water from both sides.

3.Replace the cleaned filter screen into the water inlet connector.

4.Tighten securely (clockwise)

Do not operate the pressure washer without a water inlet filter installed.

Pump Oil :

∙The pump has been oiled at the factory.

∙The pump lubrication should be changed every 12 months or 200 operating hours.

12

LONG-TERM STORAGE:

Before you store the pressure washer, make sure you do the following:

1.Remove fuel from engine or add fuel stabilizer, such as “Sta-Bil” to the gasoline to prevent gumming, and operate unit normally for five minutes.

2.If adding stabilizer, connect water supply and high pressure hose to pump.

3.Ensure water supply is turned on, start pressure washer and depress gun trigger to avoid running the unit in

the “by-pass mode.”

5.Disconnect spark plug wire and remove spark plug. Pour one teaspoon of engine oil into the spark plug hole. Place a rag over spark plug hole and pull rope slowly several times to lubricate cylinder, replace spark plug and lead.

6.Protect the high pressure hose, gun and wand from damage (such as being stepped on or run over).

TO PREVENT INTERNAL CORROSION OR FREEZING:

Items needed: 100cm piece of garden hose or equivalent and antifreeze (approximately 100 mℓ.)

1.To winterize the pressure pump, prevent the engine from starting by disconnecting the spark plug wire from the engine and remove high pressure hose from the pump. Add automotive antifreeze corrosion inhibitor through the water inlet, place the garden hose direct into the anti freeze container. Pull engine rope several times until antifreeze comes out of high pressure outlet connector. You have now displaced the water in the pump with corrosion inhibitor.

2.Remove all water from high pressure hose, gun, and wand. To do so, disassemble high pressure hose from gun. Drain all water from hose. Hold gun/wand assembly in a vertical position with the nozzle pointing down, and pull gun trigger to remove any water.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE:

WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO HOT SURFACES, WATER PRESSURE, MOVING PARTS, OR FIRE WHICH MAY RESULT IN DEATH. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN COMPLETELY AND RELEASE ALL WATER PRESSURE. THE ENGINE CONTAINS FLAMMABLE FUEL. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR OPEN FLAMES WHILE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.

1. If the engine can not be started or starting is difficult, first check whether the fuel system has fresh fuel and adequate oil level.

2. Secondly check the spark plug. Remove the spark plug cap, take out the spark plug, clean any carbon deposits and adjust the plug gap to specified gap and reassemble.

3. As well you should ensure that the inlet of the air filter and exhaust outlet are clean. Maintain a clean air filter. Inspect regularly and clean or replace as necessary.

0.7-0.80mm

Note* Dusty conditions will require high filter maintenance.
