5. Operating Instructions
Once assembled and connected, follow these steps to operate your pressure washer safely and effectively:
- Turn on Water Supply: Fully open the water tap to ensure a steady flow to the pressure washer.
- Purge Air: Before turning on the power, squeeze the spray gun trigger to allow water to flow through the system and expel any trapped air. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges from the nozzle.
- Power On: Switch the pressure washer to the 'ON' position. The induction motor will start when the trigger is pulled.
- Begin Cleaning: Hold the spray gun firmly with both hands. Point the nozzle at the surface to be cleaned, maintaining a safe distance. Squeeze the trigger to start the high-pressure spray.
- Adjust Pressure/Detergent: If your model has adjustable pressure on the lance, rotate the nozzle or adjust the setting on the lance to change the pressure. If using detergent, ensure the chemical nozzle is attached or the detergent function is activated, and adjust the chemical quantity from the tank as needed.
- Total Stop System: When you release the trigger, the Total Stop System will automatically shut off the motor, saving energy and reducing noise. The motor will restart when the trigger is pulled again.
- After Use: When finished, switch the pressure washer to the 'OFF' position. Turn off the water supply. Squeeze the spray gun trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system. Disconnect the high-pressure hose and water supply hose.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your RIWALL pressure washer.
- Clean Nozzles: After each use, inspect and clean the nozzles to prevent blockages. A clogged nozzle can cause pressure fluctuations or damage to the pump.
- Check Water Filter: Regularly check and clean the built-in water filter and any additional external filters to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Inspect Hoses and Connections: Before and after each use, check the high-pressure hose, water supply hose, and all connections for signs of wear, kinks, or leaks. Replace damaged components immediately.
- Detergent Tank Cleaning: If you used detergent, rinse the detergent tank thoroughly with clean water after each use to prevent residue buildup.
- Winter Storage: If storing the pressure washer in an area where temperatures may drop below freezing, ensure all water is drained from the pump, hoses, and spray gun to prevent damage from freezing. Consider using a pump protector solution.
- General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
