5. OPERATIONp
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.
5.1. PRIMARY CHECKS
5.1.1. 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). Ensure that the water supply, high pressure hose and gun are correctly connected, and that air can
circulate around the washer freely.
5.2. SAFETY CATCH OPERATION
5.1.2. To prevent inadvertent operation of the unit the safety catch should always be engaged when the gun is not in use. Open the safety catch
as in fig.3 to lock the trigger against the guard.
5.3. BLEEDING THE GUN
5.1.3. 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
5.1.4. 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.
5.1.5. 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.
5.1.6. Switch the machine on by turning the switch to the ‘On’ position (fig.5). Release the handle safety catch (fig.3). 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.
5.2. ADJUSTING THE SPRAY PATTERN
5.2.1. The fan nozzle can be adjusted from pencil point to fan jet by rotating the body of the nozzle as indicated in fig.6
▲CAUTION! 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.
Note: The pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning increases as you move the nozzle closer to the surface.
5.2.2. For the high pressure Turbo spray fit the turbo nozzle. This nozzle is intended for maximum cleaning affect.
5.3. USING DETERGENT
5.3.1. Use only detergents approved for use in pressure washers.
PW2200:
5.3.2. The PW2200 has the facility to use two different detergents (e.g: a traffic film remover and a general detergent).
5.3.3. Fill the detergent tanks with the required detergents (if required, only one tank can be used).
5.3.4. Turn the detergent selector control (fig.7) in the direction of the tank containing the required detergent.
PW2500:
5.3.5. Fill the detergent tank (fig.8) at the rear of the machine.
BOTH MACHINES:
5.3.6. To switch to detergent mode, simply push the variable nozzle forwards to activate the low pressure setting. Pull the nozzle backwards
to resume normal washing.(fig.6)
5.3.7. Dirt is dissolved by applying detergent to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces, work from the bottom upwards.
5.3.8. Leave the detergent to act for 1-2 minutes, but DO NOT allow the surface to dry out.
5.3.9. To wash down select the variable spray jet nozzle set on the wide fan setting (fig.6).

5.3.10. 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.
5.4. WHEN WASHING IS COMPLETED
5.4.1. Switch the power supply off by turning switch to ‘Off’ position (fiig.5).
5.4.2. Turn off the water supply tap.
5.4.3. 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.
5.4.4. Disconnect the inlet and high pressure outlet hoses.
5.4.5. 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.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
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.

7.1. NOZZLES
7.1.1. Ensure that both nozzles are kept clean and free of debris.
7.1.2. The variable nozzle should be lubricated regularly. Clogging of the nozzle causes the pump pressure to be too high and cleaning is
immediately required.
7.1.3. Separate the nozzle from the lance by unscrewing anti-clockwise (g.4).
7.1.4. Clear the nozzle of any debris.
7.1.5. Flush the nozzle with water.

7.2. WATER FILTER
7.2.1. The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet lter to protect the pump.
7.2.2. To clean the conical lter, remove quick t connection and the lter from the pump inlet.
7.2.3. Back ush the lter to clean.
7.2.4. Replace lter and quick connection immediately to prevent any ingress of foreign matter into the pump.
7.3. COOLING SYSTEM
7.3.1. 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
7.4.1. Check unit, gun, nozzle, hose, connections and cables for damage. Immediately replace or repair with genuine parts.
7.5. STORAGE
7.5.1. Store in a location where the washer will not be subject to freezing conditions.
