CHECK THE FUEL TANK FILTER

Check The Fuel Tank Filter (periodically).

Just under the fuel cap is a fuel filter, check this filter periodically and remove any contaminants which may have accumulated.

1. Remove the fuel tank cap and filter.
2. Clean the filter and, if damaged replace.
3. Insert the filter back into place.
4. Ensure the tank cap is tightly secured.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the pressure washer should be stored upright in its normal operating position, ideally with all of the fuel removed and with the engine switch off.

Long Term Storage (1 month or greater).

1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust and is not so cool that any water inside the pressure washer could freeze.
2. Completely drain the fuel from the tank. Open the fuel valve, start the engine and operate it in the idle position until all remaining fuel is used and the engine stops automatically.
3. Discharge the oil.
4. Remove the spark plug and fill the cylinder with 1 tablespoon of fresh oil. Pull the starting cord 3-4 times to discharge the remaining oil then reinstall the spark plug.
5. Pull the starting cord slowly until the resistance is strong, this indicates that the piston is moving to the top of the compression stoke and the valves will be closed.
6. Ensure that there is no water left in the system by holding the trigger open and blowing compressed air through the water inlet until all of the water has been removed from the system.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

FITTING THE HANDLE TO THE FRAME

• Slide the handle assembly over the main frame.
• Ensure that the holes line up and secure in place with the bolt, washer and hand wheel as shown.

Clean or Replace The Air Filter (every 50 hours of use).

1. Remove the air filter cover screws.
2. Remove the air filter cover.
3. Remove the air filter element.
4. If the air filter is damaged contact your local distributor to purchase a replacement, If the filter is dirty wash the filter in a solution of warm water and mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Leave the filter to dry completely, once dried immerse the filter in clean engine oil and squeeze the filter to remove excess oil – the filter should only be damp with oil.
5. Put the filter back into its original position and refit the air filter cover etc.

CLEAN OR REPLACE THE SPARK PLUG

Clean or Replace The Spark Plug (every 50 hours of use).

1. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
2. Use the supplied spark plug spanner to remove the spark plug.
3. Check for discolouration and remove any carbon build up.
4. Check the spark plug gap, it should be between 0.6 and 0.7mm; Adjust if necessary.
5. Check the overall condition of the plug and replace if damaged.
6. Reinstall the plug and refit the spark plug cap.

USING DETERGENT

• To use the detergent function, the black low-pressure nozzle has to be fitted.
• Ensure that the detergent hose is fitted to the detergent inlet.
• Place the filter end of the detergent hose into the detergent container (not supplied).
• The detergent will flow through the hose/pistol/lance along with the water when the trigger is pressed.

CONNECTING TO A WATER SUPPLY

• The pressure washer is supplied with an equivalent Hozelock type adaptor.
• The easiest way to connect to a water supply is to fit the equivalent female fitting to the end of the supply hose.
• Once connected, the water supply can be turned on.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Hot Surfaces: Always ensure that the pressure washer is turned off and allowed to fully cool before any refuelling or maintenance procedures are carried out.

FILLING THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL / CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

Caution: The pressure washer is drained of oil at the factory prior to shipping. SAE 10W30 oil or equivalent is recommended for this pressure washer.

Note: When checking the oil level; always ensure that the pressure washer is placed on a firm-level surface.

Ensure that the pressure washer is on a flat-level surface.

• Remove the filler cap / Dipstick by turning it anti-clockwise.
• Slowly pour the oil into the crankcase.
• Check the oil level by pushing the filler cap back into its hole up to the bottom of the threads (do not screw the cap in).
• Once the oil level is between the upper and the lower marks on the oil gauge (see below), refit it and turn clockwise to fully tighten.

The oil level should be checked every 8 hours or daily. The oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of operation; thereafter change the oil after 50 hours of operation or less if the pressure washer is operated under constant heavy loads or in high ambient temperatures.

• Press and hold the trigger of the of the high-pressure pistol; This will mean that the operator is not trying to start the engine with back pressure in the water sup-ply.
• Grip the recoil start handle and slowly pull the cord until it engages, then pull sharply until the engine starts.
• Once the engine starts the trigger can be released.

Note: It may take a few sharp pulls to get the engine started.

Note: Once the engine has started slowly release the recoil and allow the cord to be retracted.

Step 5:

• Once the engine is running and warm enough, slide the choke lever to the right ’RUN’ position.

STOPPING THE PRESSURE WASHER

In an emergency:

Simply turn the engine switch to the off position.
In normal conditions: Press the engine switch to the off position. Turn the fuel tap to off. Remove the water supply. Press the trigger to allow as much water as possible out of the system.

STOPPING THE PRESSURE WASHER

• Note: As much water as possible should be removed from the pressure washer, particularly if the pressure washer will not be used for an extended period such as when it is in long term storage.
• Note: Hold the trigger open and blow compressed air through the water inlet until all of the water has been removed from the system.
• Turn the main engine switch to the on (1) position.
• Slide the fuel tap to the on position (see below, left).
• Slide the choke lever to the left (see above, right).

Note: The choke may not be needed if the engine is already warm or the ambient temperature is hot.

PUMP OIL

Note: The pressure washer is shipped with oil in the POMP
