The FIELDMANN FDW 201602-E is a powerful electric high-pressure washer designed for various cleaning tasks. It features a robust 1600W motor, delivering a maximum pressure of 130 bar and a flow rate of 420 liters per hour. Key components include a self-priming metal pump, a 5-meter high-pressure hose, a 5-meter power cable, an adjustable nozzle, and integrated wheels for a soap bottle.
Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts listed in the packing list are present and undamaged.
- Assembly:
- Attach the high-pressure hose to the washer's outlet and the spray gun. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks.
- Connect the adjustable nozzle to the spray gun.
- If applicable, attach any handles or wheels according to the diagrams in the full manual (not provided here).
- Water Supply Connection:
- Connect a garden hose (not supplied) to the water inlet of the pressure washer.
- Ensure the water supply hose is free from kinks and has an adequate flow rate. The unit features a self-priming pump, but a steady water supply is crucial.
- Turn on the water supply fully before starting the pressure washer.
- Power Supply Connection:
- Plug the 5-meter power cable into a grounded electrical outlet (220-240V, 50/60Hz).
- Ensure the outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for safety.
Operating Instructions
- Starting the Unit:
- With the water supply on and the unit connected to power, press the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position.
- Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to release air from the system and allow water to flow through until a steady stream is achieved.
- Adjusting Pressure and Nozzle:
- The FDW 201602-E features an adjustable nozzle. Rotate the nozzle head to change the spray pattern from a concentrated jet to a wider fan spray.
- Always test the spray pattern on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the surface.
- Using Detergent (Soap Bottle Wheels):
- Fill the integrated soap bottle with an appropriate pressure washer detergent.
- Attach the soap bottle to the designated inlet on the pressure washer (refer to product diagrams for exact location).
- Engage the detergent function (usually by selecting a low-pressure nozzle setting or a specific detergent nozzle, if provided).
- Apply detergent to the surface, allow it to soak, then rinse with high-pressure water.
- Shutting Down:
- Turn the ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position.
- Turn off the water supply.
- Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to release any remaining pressure in the system.
- Disconnect the power cable and water hose.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the exterior of the pressure washer with a damp cloth. Ensure no dirt or debris is blocking the air vents.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle becomes clogged, use the provided nozzle cleaning tool (if included) or a thin wire to clear any obstructions.
- Water Inlet Filter: Regularly check and clean the water inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Storage:
- Drain all water from the pump, hose, and spray gun before storing.
- Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free environment.
- Coil the high-pressure hose and power cable neatly.
- Winterization: In cold climates, it is crucial to protect the unit from freezing. Use a pump protector or antifreeze solution designed for pressure washers to prevent internal damage.
