Sealey Pw1600 User manual

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. Have any faulty item repaired

or replaced immediately by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK 3 pin

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 MUSTcontact 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.

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 inlet connector). 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. Slide the catch (fig.3.'B')

to the left to lock; right to release.

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.

and lance removed until a steady stream

of water is released.

7.Contact authorised service agent.

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. Release the handle safety catch (fig.3'B'). 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.

5.5. Adjusting spray pattern.

5.5.1. The fan nozzle can be adjusted from pencil point to fan jet by moving the grip forwards or backwards.

5.5.2. The fan nozzle can be continuously varied by rotating the body of the nozzle as indicated in fig.5.

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.

5.5.3. For the high pressure Turbo spray fit the turbo nozzle. This nozzle is intended for maximum cleaning affect.

5.6. Using detergent.

Use only detergents approved for use in pressure washers.

5.6.1. Remove the lance from the gun and replace with the detergent dispenser (fig.4).

5.6.2. Fill the detergent bottle with detergent suitable for use with a pressure washer. The detergent will automatically be mixed with the

water and discharged through the nozzle. NOTE: Detergent will only be drawn into the spray if the fan nozzle is used in the fan

(low pressure) setting.(fig.5). Dirt is dissolved by applying detergent to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces, work from the bottom

upwards.

5.6.3. Leave the detergent to act for 1-2 minutes, but DO NOT allow the surface to dry out.

5.6.4. To wash down select the variable spray jet nozzle set on the wide fan setting (fig.5).

5.6.5. When you have finished the soap application, remove the bottle and flush clean water through the tube until it is cleaned thoroughly.

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 switch to '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 (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.

 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,) after every 50 hours of use.

7. MAINTENANCE

7.1. Nozzles.

7.1.1. Ensure that both nozzles are kept clean and free of debris.
