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. See page 13 for the full CLARKE range of detergents.
18. WARNING: 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. WARNING: High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the machine. Use only hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Plug must be BS1363/A approved.
WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS SUPPLY.
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 COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE: BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE
If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with the markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.
• The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked N or coloured Black.
• The wire which is coloured Brown must 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
Neutral
(Blue)
Ensure that the outer sheath of the cable is firmly held by the clamp
Always fit a 13 Amp fuse.
Live
(Brown)
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.

SAFETY FEATURES
THERMAL SENSOR
A thermal sensor protects the motor against overloading. The machine will restart after a few minutes, once the thermal sensor has cooled down.
GUN TRIGGER LOCK
The gun trigger has a locking device, as shown. When the device is raised and locked into the grooves on the rear of the handle, the gun can not be operated. This locking device should always be in the locked ‘ON’ position when the washer is not in use.

2. Hand tighten the inlet connector to the water inlet on the rear of the washer, as shown.
3. Connect the supply hose to the inlet connector.
10
Page 11
• A standard garden hose connector or a reinforced hose with an inner diameter of at least 10 mm available from your CLARKE dealer will be suitable.
4. Connect the supply hose to the water supply.
• The water supply must provide a maximum of 5 litres per minute at a maximum of 40°C.
5. Open the water tap fully.
OPERATION
1. Turn the water supply on, making sure that the tap is fully open.
WARNING: FAILURE TO TURN ON THE WATER FULLY COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE POWER WASHER INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE POWER WASHER IF THE SUPPLY CABLE OR IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE MACHINE ARE DAMAGED, E.G. SAFETY DEVICES, HIGH PRESSURE HOSES, TRIGGER.
WARNING: WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS MACHINE IS CONNECTED TO THE MAINS SUPPLY VIA A RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD).

11
Page 12
6. Pull the trigger on the gun to start water flow.
• If you release the trigger the device will switch off again, the system remains under high pressure.
• During longer breaks (more than 5 minutes), turn the pressure washer off. See Shutting Down on page 14.
7. Once the machine has been turned off, release any residual pressure in the system by turning off the water supply and operating the trigger before disconnecting any hose or accessory.
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°).
NOTE: DO NOT adjust the spray while
the gun is active. ALWAYS turn the locking device to the ‘ON’ position or turn the washer off when adjusting the spray.

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 flushing 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 connector from the pressure washer and remove the filter.
2. Clean the filter by flushing both sides with water.
3. Replace the filter into the connector and replace the connector onto the water inlet.
NOTE: DO NOT operate the pressure
washer without the filter installed.
