GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: WATER AT HIGH PRESSURE CAN BE DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE IF THE OPERATOR IS CARELESS. NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO OPERATE THIS PRESSURE WASHER UNLESS THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
1. WARNING High pressure water jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at animals or people.
2. NEVER allow children or untrained personnel to use this pressure washer.
3. NEVER operate the pressure washer with any of the covers removed.
4. NEVER attempt any electrical or mechanical repairs to this pressure washer. Always refer to your Clarke dealer.
5. NEVER supply any liquid other than water to the water inlet.
6. NEVER use the detergent pickup facility to introduce flammable liquids/solvents, e.g. paint thinners, petrol, oil as there is a risk of explosion.
7. ALWAYS release any residual pressure in the system by turning off the water supply and operating the trigger, before disconnecting any hose or accessory.
8. ALWAYS keep the pressure washer itself dry and clear of water spray.
9. NEVER direct the spray jet at the pressure washer itself or any other electrical equipment.
10. ALWAYS wear protective clothing and safety glasses. Loose particles and other debris may be propelled at high speed by the water jet.
11. ALWAYS hold the spray gun firmly and expect the gun to ‘kick’ when starting.
12. ALWAYS disconnect from the water supply and ensure the system is completely drained when not in use. Store in a cool dry location.
13. ONLY use chemical cleaning agents (detergents), that are approved for pressure washers. CLARKE Traffic Film Remover or CLARKE Wash and WAX (available from your dealer), are recommended.
14. ALWAYS Disconnect from the electrical power supply before carrying out user maintenance.
15. ONLY use original spare parts from the man u f a c t urer o r approved by the Clarke service department.
16. WARNI N G : High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the appliance. Use only hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
17. NEVER use the pressure washer if a power cord or important parts of the p r essu r e was h e r are damaged, e.g. safety devices, high pressure hoses, trigger gun.
Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, accessories and packaging should be sorted, taken to a recycling centre and disposed of in a manner which is compatible with the environment.

1. Connect the water supply hose to the inlet fitting.
2. Connect the inlet fitting to the Water inlet as shown.
• It is recommended to use a
reinforced hose having an inner diameter of at least 10 mm.
• The water supply must be able
to deliver at least 15 l/min. and have a max inlet temperature of 55 °C.

PARKING BRAKE

OPERATION

1. The pressure washer should always be located on a firm level surface where it is not exposed to extreme weather conditions such as strong wind, freezing or rain.
2. It is recommended that where possible a partition be erected between the wash area and the pressure washer to prevent accidental spraying of the pressure washer. Moisture entering the pressure washer may cause serious damage.
3. Do not operate the pressure washer indoors, or in enclosed areas without adequate ventilation, or in areas where flammable vapours (petrol, solvents etc.) may be present.
4. If the pressure washer is to be used in an enclosed area the burner exhaust MUST BE vented to the outside atmosphere. The use of a draft regulator is recommended. All venting must be in accordance with applicable laws and local ordinances for such installations.

HLS160 3 Phase hot wash.fm Page 16 Wednesday, September 28, 2011 12:28 PM

EVERY MONTH OR AFTER 100 HOURS OF WORK

CLEAN THE COMBUSTION HEAD AND CHECK THE ELECTRODES.
It is recommended that the burner and electrodes be serviced yearly, or as needed depending upon the pressure washers' usage, Please contact the CLARKE International Service Dept.
(This maintenance operation must be carried out by skilled personnel.)

EVERY MONTH 0R AFTER 200 HOURS OF WORK

CLEAN THE COMBUSTION PUMP FILTER.
(This maintenance operation must be carried out by skilled personnel.)

SOOT BUILD UP

Poor grades of fuel oil or inadequate combustion will cause heavy build up of soot on the heating coil. This deposit will insulate the coil and reduce its efficiency. It will also restrict air flow through the coil, further aggravating the soot build up. Contact your CLARKE dealer or CLARKE International Service Dept. on: 020 8988 7400 when de-sooting is required.
