6. OPERATION

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 safety instructions.

WARNING! Dry running can seriously damage the unit.

WARNING! Use washer on a flat, levelled surface, in an upright position. Failure to do so will invalidate your warranty. Never lay the washer down during use.

WARNING! DO NOT leave washer switched on for more than 15 minutes without operating trigger.

IMPORTANT! The washer motor will stop as soon as the gun trigger is released and will restart when the trigger is squeezed. Always allow at least 5 seconds between releasing the trigger and restarting.

6.1. PRIMARY CHECKS

• Check that the inlet filter is clean; pump delivery and pressure will be reduced if blocked. Never use the machine without a filter (which is fitted inside the inlet connector Item 9).
• Ensure that the water supply, high pressure hose, and gun are correctly connected, and that air can circulate around the washer freely.

6.2. SAFETY CATCH OPERATION

To prevent inadvertent operation of the unit, the safety catch in the base of the trigger should always be engaged when the gun is not in use. [Diagram showing the 'Safety Catch' located at the base of the trigger gun, used to prevent accidental operation.]

6.3. BLEEDING THE GUN

It is very important to bleed the gun before using the pressure washer. Squeeze the trigger BEFORE turning the electrical supply on. This allows any air trapped inside the pressure washer and gun to be removed before using the unit. Continue holding the trigger for approximately one minute to allow any excess air out of the unit. Water will flow through the gun at low pressure during this procedure.

6.4. PRESSURE SETTING

There are three levels of pressure settings (see Control Panel section). Level 1 is suitable for cleaning fences, cement terraces etc. Level 2 is suitable for cleaning vehicles, boats, motorcycles etc. Level 3 is suitable for cleaning barbeque grills, garden tools etc.

NOTE: The default level at start-up is Level 2.

6.5. OPERATING THE MACHINE

• Hold the spray gun firmly to counteract the recoil caused by the high pressure of the water.
• Before switching on, ensure that the lance is not directed at people, objects, or animals prior to being directed at the object to be cleaned.
• It is recommended that the trigger is depressed before switching on the unit before every use. This reduces the back pressure and amperage draw, which prevents fuses blowing.
• Switch the machine on by turning the switch to the ‘ON’ position. Release the handle safety catch. Point the lance at the object to be cleaned and depress the trigger fully. When the trigger is released, the motor will switch off automatically.

6.6. ADJUSTING THE SPRAY PATTERN

The fan nozzle can be adjusted from pencil point to fan jet by rotating the body of the nozzle. WARNING! The pencil point setting is very aggressive. It is recommended that for most cleaning applications, a 20° spray angle is used to avoid damage to the surface being sprayed.

6.7. USING DETERGENT

• The detergent container is located on the rear of the unit. Add detergent (maximum volume 1 litre).
• Rotate the nozzle to the Low Pressure setting as indicated on the nozzle body.
• When the unit is operated, detergent will be drawn into the water flow.
• To prevent detergent inclusion, reset the nozzle to the High Pressure setting as indicated on the nozzle body.

6.8. TELESCOPIC HANDLE

To adjust the handle, depress the button on the side of the unit and move the handle either up or down. When it is in the correct position, a click will be heard and the handle will be held in place. [Diagram illustrating the telescopic handle adjustment mechanism, showing the 'Handle Release' button.]

6.9. WHEN WASHING IS COMPLETED

• Switch the power supply off by turning the switch to the ‘Off’ position.
• Turn off the water supply tap.
• Discharge residual pressure by pressing the trigger until no more water comes out of the nozzle. WARNING! Failure to discharge pressure could result in personal injury.
• Disconnect the inlet and high pressure outlet hoses.
• Wipe the machine clean and dry and store in a clean, safe, dry, childproof location.

NOTE: a) DO NOT leave the motor switched on for more than 15 minutes without operating the trigger. b) If the water pressure drops (e.g. someone else using the same water supply), the washer will not operate correctly. Immediately switch the motor off and wait until the pressure is restored.

7. MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Ensure the pressure washer is switched off and unplugged from the mains electrical power supply and turned off at the mains water tap before performing any maintenance tasks.

• Check, clean, or renew the inlet filter (which is fitted inside the inlet connector Item 9) after every 50 hours of use.
• Use only genuine Sealey spares for this machine. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and will invalidate the warranty.

7.1. NOZZLES

• Ensure that both nozzles are kept clean and free of debris.
• The variable nozzle should be lubricated regularly. Clogging of the nozzle causes the pump pressure to be too high and cleaning is immediately required.
• Separate the nozzle from the lance.
• Clear the nozzle of any debris.
• Flush the nozzle with water.
• Reconnect the nozzle to the lance. Ensure that the nozzle connection is tight.

7.2. WATER FILTER

• The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet filter to protect the pump (Item 9).
• To clean the conical filter, remove the quick-fit connection and the filter from the pump inlet.
• Back flush the filter to clean.
• Replace the filter and quick connection immediately to prevent any ingress of foreign matter into the pump.

7.3. COOLING SYSTEM

The air vents, in and around the pressure washer, must be kept clean and free of any obstructions to ensure proper air cooling of the motor during operation.

WARNING! Prevent water from penetrating the vents of the pressure washer to minimise the risk of damage to the machine and to reduce the risk of shock to the operator.

7.4. GENERAL

Check unit, gun, nozzle, hose, connections, and cables for damage. Immediately replace or repair with genuine parts.

7.5. STORAGE

• Store in a location where the washer will not be subject to freezing conditions.
• Make sure that the pressure washer has been drained of water and remove the hoses.
