INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
PRESSURE WASHER 95bar with
ROTABLAST NOZZLE & TSS
MODEL No.: PC2351
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected
by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.
and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none are loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK
3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer
insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a 30 amp supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with your
electrician.
1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that
the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the
use of 2.5mm² section cable.
FUSE RATING 13 AMP
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY

Original Language Version PC2351 Issue: 1 - 28/05/10
5. OPERATION
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.
5.1. 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 water inlet
connector, see fig.1). Ensure that the water supply, high
pressure hose and gun are correctly connected, and that air can
freely circulate around the washer.
5.2 Operation of safety catch. To prevent inadvertent operation of
the unit the safety catch should always be engaged when the
gun is not in use. Turn the catch 90° away from the trigger to
lock it, towards the trigger to unlock it (fig.3).
5.3 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.
5.4 Operating the machine.
5.4.1 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.
5.4.2 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.
5.4.3 Switch the machine on by turning the switch to the 'On' position
as shown in fig.1. Release the handle safety catch (fig.3).
Point the lance at the object to be cleaned and fully depress the
trigger. When the trigger is released the motor will automatically
switch off.
 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.

SYMPTOMS REASON REMEDY
5.5 Adjusting spray pattern. The variable spray jet nozzle can be continuously varied from a fine pencil jet to a fan pattern by rotating
the body of the nozzle.
Caution! The pencil point setting is very aggressive. It is recommended that for most cleaning applications, a twenty degree spray angle is
used to avoid damage to the surface being sprayed.
Note: The pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning increases as you move the nozzle closer to the surface.
5.5.1 For the high pressure Rotablast spray fit the Rotablast turbo nozzle. This nozzle is intended for maximum cleaning affect.
Note: The Rotablast Nozzle is not adjustable in any way. DO NOT attempt to dismantle it. It may be unscrewed from the lance for cleaning
purposes only.
5.6 Using detergent. Use only detergents approved for use in pressure washers.
5.6.1 Remove the nozzle that is attached to the gun and attach the soap dispenser.
5.6.2 Remove the bottle and check that the tube is not blocked.
5.6.3 Fill with detergent suitable for use with a pressure washer and screw on the bottle. The detergent will automatically be mixed with the
water and discharged through the nozzle.
5.6.4 Dirt is dissolved by applying detergent to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces, work from the bottom upwards.
5.6.5 Leave the detergent to act for 1-2 minutes, but DO NOT allow the surface to dry out.
5.6.6 To wash down select the variable spray jet nozzle set on the wide fan setting.
5.6.7 When you have finished the soap application, remove the bottle and flush clean water through the tube until it is thoroughly cleaned.
Note: Failure to clean properly will cause the injection system to become clogged and inoperable.
5.7. When washing is completed.
5.7.1. Switch the power supply off by turning the switch to the 'Off' position.
5.7.2 Turn off the water supply tap.
5.7.3 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.
5.7.4 Disconnect the inlet and high pressure outlet hoses.
5.7.5 Wipe the machine clean and dry and store in a clean, safe, dry, childproof location.
Note: a) DO NOT leave motor switched on for more than 15 minutes without operating trigger.
b) If the water pressure drops (i.e. someone else using the same water supply), the washer will not operate correctly.
Immediately switch off the motor and wait until the pressure is restored.
c) Should the motor stop and fail to restart, the built in thermal cut-out may have tripped. Check to ensure that the washer is
connected correctly to electrical and water supplies (also see Section 6 Troubleshooting). Wait 5 minutes for the cut-out
to reset and re-start the motor. If the motor continues to cut out contact your authorised service agent.
