How to start a Petrol Power Washer
Do not run the engine without a water supply connected to the pump. The water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the high pressure pump. If there is no mains water supply connected to the pump, it will overheat the seals and valves and cause permanent damage. Always use fresh mains water. If dirty water is used it can cause damage to the internal parts of the high pressure pump.
The three cylinder high pressure axial pump is fitted with a thermal protection safety valve. If the pressure washer is run without the trigger gun being squeezed open and water flowing through the pump, then the water in the pump will recirculate around the pump and heat up. To prevent the pump from overheating and damaging the seals the thermal protection valve will open and discharge the hot water, which is replaced with fresh cool water. If possible, switch the engine off when not pressure washing. This saves fuel and wear and tear.
Select the required nozzle and be sure to push it firmly into the quick release fitting on the lance. For normal pressure washing hold the nozzle about 30cm from the object being pressure washed. To use the detergent function, place the black nozzle in the lance and the pressure washer will draw the liquid detergent from the built in tank. This is a low pressure nozzle, so when the soap has been applied, change back to the high pressure nozzle to finish cleaning.
The Axial pump is driven by a 212cc OHV engine. The OHV engines benefit from low end torque, fuel-saving and emission-cutting OHV technology and a more compact size when compared to an OHC engine.
Never point the high pressure lance at people or animals.
Never operate this petrol pressure washer indoors or in a confined space as petrol engines produce lethal Carbon Monoxide fumes.
Always switch the engine off and allow it to cool before refueling.
Check the engine oil level daily- it can be filled to the top of the oil filler neck with SAE30 or 15w40 engine oil. Oil filler cap (5.2).
After the first 20 hours, then every 100 hours change the engine oil. There is an engine drain bolt at the bottom of the engine (5.1). Drain into a suitable container and dispose of safely following local guidelines.
The high pressure pump is a sealed for life, maintenance free unit.
Change the air filter and spark plug every 100 hours.
Check that there are no leaks in the high pressure hose.
Always store in a frost free environment. If there is any water left in the pump and it freezes, it can cause major damage to the pump body.
If storing for more than a few weeks, it is advisable to drain the float bowl on the carburettor. This can be done by switching the fuel off and running the pressure washer for a few minutes until it stops. This will prevent the unleaded petrol going off in the carburettor and make it easier to start on next use.
Don’t be fooled by huge pressure ratings. We know our stuff. We’ve been in the industry for 15 years and can tell you it’s not possible to obtain more than 3000psi continuous pressure from a 196cc to 212cc engine fitted with an axial pump, unless the flow rate is reduced to such a low level that it is not efficient in real life use. Other sellers may claim a lot higher pressure ratings. Please be careful when selecting your pressure washer.
