GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: WATER AT HIGH PRESSURE CAN BE DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE IF THE OPERATOR IS CARELESS. NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO OPERATE THIS PRESSURE WASHER UNLESS THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

1. NEVER direct the spray towards any person or animal.

2. NEVER direct the spray towards electrical wiring or equipment.

3. NEVER hold your finger over the high pressure nozzle.

4. NEVER allow children or untrained personnel to use this machine.

5. NEVER operate the machine with any of the covers removed.

6. NEVER attempt any repairs to this machine. Always refer to your CLARKE dealer.

7. NEVER supply any liquid other than water to the water inlet.

8. NEVER use the detergent bottle to introduce flammable liquids/solvents, e.g. paint thinners, petrol, oil as there is a risk of explosion.

9. NEVER direct the jet at electrical equipment or the machine itself.

10. NEVER use the pressure washer if the power cable or important parts of the machine are damaged.

11. ALWAYS release any residual pressure in the system by turning off the water supply and operating the trigger before disconnecting any hose or accessory.

12. ALWAYS keep the machine itself dry and well clear of water spray.

13. ALWAYS wear protective clothing and safety glasses. Loose particles and other debris may be propelled at high speed by the water jet.

14. ALWAYS grip the gun firmly and expect the spray gun to `kick’ when starting.

15. ALWAYS respect the requirements of the local water company. Pressure washers may
    only be connected to the mains drinking water supply, if a system separator (known as a backflow preventer) is installed in the supply hose.

16. ALWAYS disconnect from the water supply and ensure the system is completely drained when not in use. Store in a cool dry location.

17. ONLY use chemical cleaning agents (detergents), that are approved for pressure washers. CLARKE Traffic Film Remover or CLARKE Wash and Wax (available from your dealer), is recommended.

18. WARNING: High pressure water jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at a person or anything that they are wearing.

19. WARNING: High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the machine. Only use hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

20. WARNING: Water that has flowed through a system separator (known as a backflow preventer) is considered non-drinkable.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS SUPPLY.

Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on 230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.
If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard.
WARNING: THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE: BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE YELLOW AND GREEN = EARTH

If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with the markings on the terminals of your plug,  roceed as follows.

• The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N.
• The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L.
• The yellow and green wire must be connected to the terminal marked E or

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).

EXTENSION CABLES
If an extension cable is used, always ensure it is fully unwound. When used outdoors, ensure that the extension cable is specifically designed for outdoor use. Ensure that the cable is rated for the voltage and amperage of the machine.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.

SYMBOLS ON THE MACHINE

The high pressure jet must not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself.

CONNECTION

CONNECT THE HOSE ADAPTOR

1. Insert the Water inlet filter into the water inlet.
2. Screw the supplied hose adaptor onto the water inlet by hand as shown.
   • Do not use any tools to tighten the adaptor.

CONNECT TO A WATER SUPPLY
The pressure washer must never be connected to the drinking water supply without using a system separator (also known as a backflow preventer). Always follow the regulations of your local water supplier.

CAUTION: WATER THAT HAS FLOWED THROUGH A SYSTEM SEPARATOR IS CONSIDERED NON-DRINKABLE.

1. Connect a supply hose to the inlet adaptor.
   • We recommend that you use a push fit quick connector (not supplied).
   • The water supply must be able to deliver at least 10 l/min with an inlet temperature between 5°C and 40°C.

CONNECT THE HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE

1. Remove the travel cap from the high pressure hose outlet.

2. Screw the other end of the hose on to the outlet.
   • Tighten the connector by hand only – do not use any tools.
   • Make sure the connection is secure.

3. Connect the high pressure hose to the gun assembly.
   • Make sure the connection is secure.

ATTACH THE EXTENSION LANCE

1. Connect the extension lance to the gun assembly.

GUN ASSEMBLY SAFETY LOCK
The safety button on the gun is not there to lock the lever during operation, but to prevent its accidental operation.

1. Lift the locking lever to the position shown to prevent the trigger from being pulled.

2. Fold the locking lever flat to release the trigger lock.

AUTOMATIC STOP SYSTEM
The Automatic Stop System stops the machine during the bypass mode. The Automatic Stop System will stop the machine and will restart it automatically when the trigger is pulled.

• It is advisable to activate the safety lock on the gun assembly whenever the machine is not being used in order to avoid unintentional starting.
• If the machine starts automatically without pressing the gun trigger this will be attributable to air bubbles in the water or other similar phenomena and does not imply the existence of any defects in the machine.
• Do not leave the machine unattended. If you do not intend to used the machine for more than 5 minutes, set the ON/OFF switch to OFF.

ADDING FUEL

WARNING: INCORRECT FUELS MUST NOT BE USED AS THEY MAY PROVE HAZARDOUS.

• ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sources of ignition.

• NEVER leave fuel within the reach of children.

• Refuel carefully to avoid spillages.
  1. Remove the diesel filler cap.
  2. Fill the tank with diesel fuel only.

• Minimum 4 litres

• Maximum 14 litres.
  3. Replace the filler cap securely.

OPERATION

WARNING: IN CASE OF OPERATION INDOORS, ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND GAS VENTING MUST BE ASSURED.

HOLDING THE LANCE

1. Users must hold the gun in the correct position, with one hand on the grip and the other on the lance as shown.
   NOTE: Never touch any metal parts of the lance as they will get hot during use.

WASHING WITH COLD WATER

TO CHANGE THE SPRAY PATTERN (PENCIL JET / FAN SPRAY)

1. To vary the spray between Pencil Jet and fan spray, turn the nozzle counter-clockwise through a half- a-turn (180°).
   

ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE
Ways to adjust the pressure include varying the distance you are from the surface being cleaned or adjusting the spray to a wider angle (lowering the pressure).
SHUTTING DOWN

1. Set all switches to OFF and remove the mains plug from the power supply.
2. Squeeze the trigger on the gun assembly to remove any pressure in the hose.
3. Turn off and disconnect the water supply hose and allow it to drain fully.
4. Disconnect the high pressure hose and allow it to drain fully.

USING DETERGENTS

WARNING: THE USE OF UNSUITABLE CLEANING AGENTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE MACHINE. DO NOT EXCEED THE CORRECT OPERATING TEMPERATURE FOR THE DETERGENT IN USE.
Only use detergents recommended for use with pressure washers such as:

• CLARKE Traffic Film Remover which is a powerful ‘low foaming’ agent for car cleaning, patio cleaning etc.

• CLARKE Wash & Wax.
  1. Remove the detergent filler cap.
  2. Fill the tank with detergent.

• Maximum 2.5 litres.
  3. Replace the filler cap securely.
