USING THE MACHINE TO DRAW WATER
ATTENTION: The maximum length of the inlet hose is 5m. Do NOT exceed this limit. Do NOT use
the inlet hose without the strainer attached. Do NOT allow the strainer end of the inlet hose to rest
at the bottom of the reservoir as it may allow contaminants into the pump. When running the
engine to suck water into the pump, do NOT allow it to run for more than 60 seconds. The pump
suction procedure will require repeating if the machine is switched OFF and / or air gets into the inlet
hose. Running the pump "dry" for longer than 60 seconds may permanently damage it and will
void the product warranty.
1.
Connect the supplied inlet hose to the pump inlet connector.
2.
Place the free end of the inlet hose into the water reservoir.
3.
Start the machine engine and run it at approximately half throttle. The pump will begin sucking in water.
4.
Squeeze the trigger on the lance. When a steady stream of water is flowing from the nozzle, the machine
is ready to be used.
ENGINE STARTING
ATTENTION: Before starting the engine, ensure that you have followed all procedures described in
the Before Use Checklist. The product is NOT supplied with engine oil, although traces of oil from
the manufacturing process may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct
type to the engine before use – see Checking and Changing Engine Oil. Failure to add engine oil will
void the product warranty. Always wear suitable protective clothing and equipment when using the
machine. Inspect the machine before each use and check for wear or damage. If the machine is
damaged, have it inspected and repaired at an authorized service centre before using it again.
Different models may feature variations in design; for example, some have different engine types etc. The following
procedures and images are typical to all models, however, the position or appearance of controls etc may vary. All
major engine controls are identified on the machine by way of stickers or other markings.
MANUAL/PULL STARTING
1.
FUEL – Place the fuel tap (A) in the "ON" position.
2.
CHOKE – If the engine is cold, place the choke (B) in the "COLD" or "CLOSED" position. If the engine is
warm or the ambient temperature is high, place the choke in the "RUN" or "OPEN" position.
3.
IGNITION – Place the engine ON/OFF switch (C) in the "ON" ("I") position.
4.
THROTTLE – Place the throttle control (D) just off the "SLOW" position.
5.
START – Slowly pull out the starter cord (E) until you feel it engage with the engine, then pull it out rapidly
(use both hands if necessary). The engine should start. Allow the starter cord to rewind slowly – do not let
it "snap" back.
6.
WARM-UP – Allow the engine to warm-up and run smoothly. If choke is being applied, place the choke (B)
in the "RUN" or "OPEN" position.
7.
THROTTLE – Adjust the throttle control (D) for the required engine speed and pumping requirements.
If the engine does not start, repeat step 5 onward. If the engine fails to start after several attempts, refer to
Troubleshooting.
