Assembly

Locate the axle holes on the underside of the frame. Insert the axle so the sprung clip locks in place| Slide the wheel over the axle and secure it with the nut.| For TX750i model only: Slide the hose reel and bracket over the handle section and secure with four nuts and bolts taking care not to over- tighten the brackets. Attach the crank handle
|
Push the handle in place by inserting both sides evenly into the frame so the sprung catches click into the holes| The nozzle panel is fixed in place with four long nuts and bolts|

Before starting

Note: the washer will automatically shut down if insufficient oil is detected.

Add fuel:
01. Open the filler cap
02. Fill with unleaded petrol
up to the filter
03. Replace filler cap| Add oil:
01. Locate the filler bungs on either side of the engine
02. Place washer on a level surface
03. Open the oil filler bung
04. Fill with 10W-40 semi-synthetic oil up to the threads
05. Replace oil filler bung

Connections

01. Connect the high-pressure hose to the gun ‘A’
02. TX750: Connect the high-pressure hose to pump ‘B’
03. TX750i: Connect the high-pressure hose to the reel ‘D’ and the reel hose to ‘B’
04. Connect a mains supply hose to the water inlet ‘C’

Starting

Before starting, connect the gun and hoses as described in ‘Connections’

Turn the fuel tap on by sliding to the right| Set the choke to the left (closed position)| Turn the engine switch to the on position

Pull the recoil handle firmly to start the engine| Once running pull the throttle to the left (open position)| Turn on the water supply

Once running and the engine has warmed up, return the choke to the right (open) position.
If restarting a warm engine there is no need to move to the left.

Stopping

Turn the engine switch to the off position| Turn the fuel tap off by sliding to the left| Turn the water supply off

Note: make sure you depress the trigger on the gun to fully drain any residual water left in the system.
Failure to do so can result in damage due to corrosion or water expansion when freezing.

Using detergent

1. Open the front cap on the detergent tank and fill it with a suitable pressure washer detergent. Do not use the washing-up liquid as it contains salt.
2. Fit the blue/black nozzle to the end of the lance.
3. Suction and mixing will occur as the water flows through the pump. You may be required to fit the shorter of the supplied hoses in conjunction with the blue/black nozzle to create the required pressure to draw detergent.

Note: a thick viscous detergent will not flow freely from the detergent tank and the residue is likely to cause a blockage in the system. After using the detergent facility it should be flushed thoroughly with clean water to remove any trace of detergent.

Drawing from a barrel

First, ensure the machine is switched off before connecting/disconnecting any hoses or attachments. Instead of attaching the hose from the pump to the tap, use the supplied hose and filter set placing the filter end in the water supply.
It is advised that the water supply is on the same level as the washer. If you struggle to get initial suction, remove the outlet hose from the pump and try drawing again – this reduces the pressure on the pump making it easier to draw. Once flowing, turn the engine off and reconnect the outlet hose before re-starting.

Nozzles

0°Nozzle (Red) Fig 1 – This nozzle delivers a pinpoint stream of pressurized water and is extremely powerful. It should only be directed at surfaces that can withstand high pressure such as metal or concrete.
15° Nozzle (Yellow) Fig 2 – This nozzle delivers a powerful 15-degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of small areas. This nozzle should only be used on areas and materials that can withstand very high pressure.
25° Nozzle (Green) Fig 3 – This nozzle delivers a 25-degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of larger areas. This nozzle should only be used on areas that can withstand very high pressure.
40° Nozzle (White) Fig 4 – This nozzle delivers a 40-degree spray pattern and a less powerful stream of water. This nozzle can cover a wide area and can be used for most general cleaning jobs.
Detergent Nozzle (Blue/Black) Fig 5 – This nozzle is used to apply detergent and cleaning solutions.
This nozzle produces the weakest pressure of the three nozzles.

Maintenance

Spark plug

Remove the spark plug cap| unscrew the spark plug using the supplied tool| Check the gap using a gauge.
The gap should be between 0.7-and 0.8mm.

Oil change

Locate and remove either of the oil bungs on the side of the engine| Place a pan under one side and tilt the unit to drain the oil| Add 10W-40 semi- synthetic oil to the upper limit of the filler hole

Air filter

The air filter is installed on the intake system of the engine. It allows clean air to flow into the engine to provide the correct air/fuel mixture.

1. Lift the clip to open-air filter cover
2. Check the air filter to ensure it is free of dirt build-up
3. If dirty, remove the filter and clean with a solvent cleaning solution
4.  Squeeze to remove water and allow to dry
5. Add a few drops of oil
6. Squeeze tight to distribute oil and remove any excess
7. Install air filter and cover

Storage

If the washer is not to be used or is to be stored for more than one month the following storage procedure should be carried out:

1. Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank and the carburetor. Ensure that all fuel has been removed.
2. Remove the spark plug and pour approximately one tablespoon full of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole.
3. With the ignition turned OFF, gently pull on the recoil starter handle several times.
4. Re-fit the spark plug and continue to pull the recoil starter handle until the piston is on the compression stroke (when resistance is felt) then stop pulling.
5. Store the pressure washer in a dry well ventilated place under a cover to prevent any dust or debris from accumulating on the pressure washer.

If the pressure washer is not being used for more than three months or if there is any danger of ice or frost where the unit is stored, especially during the winter months, certain precautions must be taken to ensure no damage occurs to your washer or gun. Follow the previous steps for storage but also ensure there is no water left inside the unit. The pump may require insulated protection from freezing conditions. The gun must be drained of fluids to avoid water expansion as this will damage your gun.

Removal from storage

No fuel should have been left in the unit. However if any fuel is present, ensure this is removed from the tank and carburetor before refueling with fresh fuel. Check the deposit cup and empty it if necessary.
Note: old fuel will not combust correctly and could damage your engine.
