9.4 USING PRESSURE WASHER AT HIGH ALTITUDES
FIG.14
WARNING: Petrol and petrol vapour are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or
explosion from misuse of fuel can cause severe burns and even death. Failure to use
fuel as recommend in this manual will void the warranty.
PRIOR TO STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE:
1. Selected the proper size nozzle for the job at hand (see “SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE”).
2. Turn the water supply on within 60 seconds of starting the engine.
3. For your protection, wear protective saftey glasses (not provided).
4. Move the pressure washer OUTSIDE in a fully VENTILATED area.
5. Place the pressure washer on a FLAT and level surface and close to the working surface. Keep
a minimum of 1.5 metres CLEARANCE on all sides of the engine including top. Face the
engine exhaust outlet AWAY from buildings.
NOTE: Attempting to start the pressure washer with mains pressure washer ON, will be
difficult. The resistance created because of pressure in the system may cause damage to the
starting assembly. This is not covered by any warranty.
6. Slide the fuel valve lever to “ON” position (right) to allow the fuel to flow to the engine.
7. Slide the choke lever to “START” position (left).
8. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch clockwise to ON position.
9. Point nozzle to a safe direction and squeeze
the spray gun trigger to allow for easier
engine start.
10. To start the engine, pull starter cord slowly
until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to
avoid kick back. Repeat until engine starts
to run. Release the trigger.
11. Slide choke lever to “RUN” (right) position.
12. To stop engine, set switch on side of engine
to “OFF” position - see section 10.7.
13. To restart the pressure washer, the water
pressure in the pressure washer needs to be
lowered; turn the water supply off and pull
the lance trigger to remove pressure from
the system. Restart the engine, turn the
water supply on within 60 seconds.
WARNING: DO NOT run the pressure washer without the water supply connected and turned
on. The pressure water pump must not run dry. Failure to follow this will cause damage that is
not covered by any warranty.
WARNING: Do not leave pressure washer in bypass mode for more than two minutes
at a time. Water temperature inside the pressure pump will rise to a dangerous level
resulting in damage to the internal components of the pump. Failure to follow this
warning will void warranty.
DO NOT run the pressure pump without the water supply connected and turned on.
Damage to the pressure washer resulting from failure to follow this instruction WILL
void the warranty.
ALWAYS wear approved safety glasses when operating pressure washers. Spray can
splash back or propel objects, including incorrectly attached accessories.
