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. NEVER direct the spray towards any person or animal.
2. NEVER direct the spray towards electrical wiring or equipment.
3. NEVER hold your finger over the high pressure nozzle.
4. NEVER allow children or untrained personnel to use this machine.
5. NEVER operate the machine with any of the covers removed.
6. NEVER attempt any repairs to this machine. Always refer to your Clarke dealer.
7. NEVER supply any liquid other than water to the water inlet.
8. NEVER use the detergent bottle to introduce flammable liquids/solvents, e.g. paint
thinners, petrol, oil as there is a risk of explosion.
9. NEVER direct the jet at electrical equipment or the machine itself.
10. NEVER use the pressure washer if the supply cable or important parts of the machine
are damaged.
11. ALWAYS release any residual pressure in the system by turning off the water supply
and operating the trigger before disconnecting any hose or accessory.
12. ALWAYS keep the machine itself dry and well clear of water spray.
13. ALWAYS wear protective clothing and safety glasses. Loose particles and other
debris may be propelled at high speed by the water jet.
14. ALWAYS grip the gun firmly and expect the spray gun to ‘kick’ when starting.
15. ALWAYS respect the requirements of the local water company. Pressure washers may
only be connected to the mains drinking water supply, if a system separator (known
as a backflow preventer) is installed in the supply hose.
16. ALWAYS disconnect from the water supply, and ensure the system is completely
drained when not in use. Store in a cool dry location.
17. 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), is recommended.
18. WARN IN G: High pressure water jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet
must not be directed at a person or anything that they are wearing.
19. WARN IN G: High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of
the machine. Use only hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the
manufacturer.
20. WARN IN G: Water that has flowed through a system separator (known as a backflow
preventer) is considered non-drinkable.

Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity
supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. Connecting it to any
other power source may cause damage.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted.
If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed due to damage, a replacement should be
fitted, following the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be
disposed of as insertion into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard.
WARNING: THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE

be connected to the
terminal which is
marked L or coloured
Red.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via
a Residual Current Device (RCD) that will interrupt the supply if the leakage
current to earth exceeds 30 rnA for 30 ms
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs

ADJUSTMENTS
TO CHANGE THE SPRAY PATTERN (NARROW JET / WIDE SPRAY)
1. Hold the shaft of the lance in one
hand.
2. To vary the spray between narrow
and wide, turn the nozzle counterclockwise through a half-a-turn
(180°).
ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE
Hold the rear of the nozzle and slide
the front of the nozzle forwards for
low pressure and backwards for high
pressure.
Other ways to adjust the pressure
include Increasing the distance you
are from the surface being cleaned
and adjusting the spray to a wider
angle (lowers the pressure).

APPLYING CHEMICALS AND CLEANING AGENTS
To improve the cleaning performance, you can introduce chemical cleaning
agents (detergents) to the water jet using the detergent tank. This is
particularly useful when washing cars, greasy engine parts, or removing oil
spots on concrete etc.
CAUTION: IF YOUR EYES COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANY CLEANING
FLUIDS, RINSE THEM IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF FRESH CLEAN WATER
AND SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE IF REQUIRED.
To prepare for detergent application:
1. Remove the detergent filler cap
and fill the tank with detergent.
• Only use detergents
recommended for use with
pressure washers such as
CLARKE Traffic Film Remover for
car cleaning, patio cleaning
etc., or CLARKE Wash & Wax,
both available from your
CLARKE dealer.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE SOCKET-OUTLET BEFORE
CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE AND WHEN REPLACING PARTS
CLEANING THE NOZZLE
If the nozzle becomes partially clogged with foreign material such as dirt or
limescale, excessive pressure may develop and the pump pressure will
pulsate. Clean the nozzle immediately as follows:
1. Turn off the power washer and
turn off the water supply.
2. Pull the trigger to relieve any
water pressure.
3. Disconnect the lance from the
spray gun.
4. Remove any obstructions by
directing the water supply into the
end of the lance for 30 seconds to
back flush loose particles.
5. If flushiing does not dislodge the obstruction, carefully use the nozzle
cleaning tool, to clear the nozzle.
6. Reconnect the lance to the gun and turn on the water supply
CLEANING THE WATER INLET FILTER
This filter should be checked periodically and cleaned if necessary.
1. Remove the inlet filter from the
pressure washer as shown.
2. Clean the filter by flushing both
sides with water.
3. Replace the filter into the water
inlet.
• The tapered side faces in.
NOTE: Do not operate the pressure
