WARNING & ADVISORY DECALS
The following warning and advisory decals are applied to the
machine
‘CE’ Decal Wear Eye Protection readoperatorsmanual

OPERATION 12
Never commence work until the daily service checks have been
carried out.
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
High speed pumps can be fed from mains water tap pressure
(POSITIVE PRESSURE) or draw from a tank or sump via suction
(NEGATIVE PRESSURE) however if used on suction (NEGATIVE
PRESSURE) for prolonged periods premature seal wear is likely to
result.
To run on either option please follow the instructions below:-
MAINS TAP PRESSURE (POSITIVE)
A clean water supply with a minimum of 15 Litres (3.3gallons) per
minute flow rate with a minimum pressure of 2 Bar (30psi) is
required. The inlet/supply hose should preferably have an internal
bore dimension of 19mm (3/4”) the minimum acceptable internal bore
dimension is 13mm (1/2”)
DRAWING FROM A TANK OR SUMP-SUCTION (NEGATIVE)
To use the machine to draw from a tank or sump the suction hose
assembly should be used. The suction hose has an internal bore
dimension of 19mm (3/4”) and should be as short as possible. The
“suction head “ should be kept to a minimum and in any event
should not exceed 610mm (2.0”) The water should be clean and the
tank/sump of sufficient capacity to prevent the pump running dry
whilst in use.

OPERATION 13
Never commence work until the daily service checks have been
carried out.
PRIMING THE WATER PUMP
Each time the machine is put into operation the water pump will
require priming before it will operate correctly. Priming the pump and
hoses removes any air which may be trapped in the system and
which may affect the correct operation of the pump and prevent the
full working pressure from being reached.
To prime the water pump follow the instructions below:-
Connect up the suction hose, if drawing from a tank keep the suction
hose as short as possible and never exceed 3 metres.
Start the engine and run up to 3/4 full speed
Hold the trigger gun open until a constant flow of water emerges, this
can take as long as 30 seconds, if after 30 seconds no water has
emerged stop the engine and investigate the cause.
Close trigger, increase the engine speed and use in normal manner.

OPERATION 14
Never commence work until the daily service checks have been
carried out.
LOW PRESSURE CHEMICAL APPLICATION
The Low Pressure Chemical Application facility is an optional extra
and may/may not be available on the machine.
Totally immerse the filter on the chemical suction hose in the
chemical solution container, connect the opposite end of the hose to
the chemical induction on the water pump.
The model PW9012 is provided with a metering control knob on the
front panel of the machine when the Low Pressure Chemical
Application facility is available. Turn the knob Anti-Clockwise to
increase the flow of chemical, turn Clockwise to reduce the flow.
Dependant on the type of Lance supplied follow the instructions
below induce the flow of chemical through the LANCE, Note chemical
will only be induced at low pressure.
One-Piece Lance assembly, turn the chemical applicator at the end of
the Lance anti-clockwise when viewed from the trigger gun. After a
short delay chemical will be automatically dispensed. To stop the
chemical application, turn the chemical applicator at the end of the
lance clockwise. After a short delay whilst the residue of chemical
works its way through the system the chemical flow will turn off
completely.
Two-Piece Lance, the end of the lance has a Multireg nozzle system,
this allows the angle of the spray to be adjusted by rotating the
nozzle and the pressure to be lowered by pushing the nozzle away
from the end of the lance. The amount of chemical flow induced is
regulated by the knob on the control panel. To stop the flow of
chemical, pull the nozzle assembly back towards the lance.
If chemicals have been used through the machine it is essential that
clean water is allowed to flush through the system until the chemical
residue completely disappears before the engine is stopped.
After the engine is stopped ensure all residual pressure in the
system is released by pulling the trigger gun.

OPERATION 15
Never commence work until the daily service checks have been
carried out.

Grasp the starter grip and pull lightly until resistance is felt, then
return to the normal position. Still grasping the starter grip pull
briskly with a “jerking” motion. The engine should now start running
normally. If not, repeat the starting procedure. Do not wrap the
starter cord around the hand, serious personal injury could be
sustained if the engine “kicks back” or backfires.
Do not allow the engine to run for more than 5 minutes with the
trigger gun closed, the water temperature will rapidly rise and will
cause damage to the water pump seals.

OPERATION 17
To avoid damage to the water pump and gearbox (if fitted) never
allow the diesel engine to run on idle/tick over speed for prolonged
periods of time.
MODEL PW200 ONLY
As water enters the pump it will discharge through the EASYSTART
valve in the pump to atmosphere, this is correct. When the trigger
gun is operated the EASYSTART valve will close and the water will
stop discharging. Each time the trigger gun is closed water will
discharge through the EASYSTART valve again. This is a built in
safety feature of this unit to avoid overheating the pump and to ease
starting. The EASYSTART valve also releases any residual pressure
in the system automatically when the engine is stopped.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
