GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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.
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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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.
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, proceed 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.
WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY.
WARNING: THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE

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.
