OPERATOR’S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

The Cyclone is designed to attach to a pressure washer
which rotates two high pressure nozzles in the Cyclone.
The nozzles produce spray as well as determine the size
of the swath when cleaning surfaces such as parking
lots, driveways and sidewalks.

Owner/User Responsibility:

The owner and/or user must have an understanding of the
manufacturer’s operating instructions and warnings before
using this Cyclone. Warning information should be empha­sized and understood. If the operator is not fluent in En­glish, the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings shall
be read to and discussed with the operator in the operator’s
native language by the purchaser/owner, making sure that
the operator comprehends its contents.

Owner and/or user must study and maintain for future
reference the manufacturers’ instructions.

This manual should be considered a permanent
part of the machine and should remain with it if
machine is resold.

When ordering parts, please specify model and
serial number.

will result.

3. Never make adjustments on machine while it is in
operation.

4. Eye safety devices and foot protection must be worn
when using this equipment.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of in­jury, read operating instructions
carefully before using.

1. Read the owner’s manual thor­oughly. Failure to follow instruc­tions could cause malfunction
of the machine and result in
death, serious bodily injury and/
or property damage.

WARNING: High pressure stream of
fluid that equipment can produce
can pierce skin and its underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury.

2. High pressure developed by
these machines will cause per­sonal injury or equipment dam­age. Use caution when operat­ing. Do not direct discharge

5. The best insurance against an accident is precau­tion and knowledge of the machine.

6. Never expose any parts of the body, such as feet or
fingers, to the underside of base when spray arms
are rotating. Never tilt or attempt to work on under­side of base while pressure washer is running or
spray arms are rotating.

WARNING

WARNING: High pressure spray
can cause paint chips or other par­ticles to become airborne and fly
at high speeds.

7. Safety clothing and protective

USE PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING WHEN

OPERATING.

9. We will not be liable for any alterations made to our
standard machines, or the application of any com­ponents not purchased from us.

10. Pressure must NOT exceed 4,000 PSI. Tempera­ture must NOT exceed 200°F. Flow rate must NOT
exceed 6 GPM.

11. To protect from freezing, squeeze the trigger lever
after you turn off the pressure washer and have dis­connected the high pressure hose from the Cyclone.
This will allow water to drain through the nozzles.

eye covering must be worn.

8. The Cyclone comes equipped
with two #3 nozzles in the ro­tating swivel. Check your ma­chine nozzle size before using.

GENERAL OPERATING
TECHNIQUES

1. Disconnect pressure washer spray gun from high pres­sure hose. These items are not included, but are pro­vided with the soon to be attached pressure washer.

2. Attach the female nipple, supplied with the Cyclone,
to the pressure washer high pressure hose.

NOTE: We recommend using no mar hose to
prevent black marks from appearing on the clean­ing surface.

3. Couple pressure washer high pressure hose to Cyclone.

4. Inspect your pressure washer nozzle size. The Cy­clone surface cleaner comes with two #3 nozzles. If
your pressure washer requires a nozzle larger than
a #6, consult with your local dealer.

NOTE: For ideal cleaning, the Cyclone must be
attached to a minimum 4 gpm at 3,000 psi pres­sure washer.

5. Turn on water supply and start pressure washer.

6. Pull the trigger for water to start cleaning surface.

NOTE: Never stop moving the Cyclone while trig­ger is engaged and surface is being sprayed or
damage to surface could occur.

NOZZLE CHART

Correct nozzle size is important for optimum cleaning efficiency. The Cyclone is shipped with two #3, 15° nozzles in rotary swivel. Review
correct nozzle size for your pressure washer. See chart below for correct nozzle size. To obtain the correct nozzle size in the rotary swivel, divide
the minimum nozzle size for the pressure by two. Round this figure up to the nearest half nozzle size. These are the 1/8" nozzles only (two
needed) for the rotary swivel on the Cyclone.

SYSTEME DE CHORRO DE AGUA

MANUAL DEL OPERADOR

INTRODUCCION

El Sistema de Cyclone de agua está diseñado para
adaptarse a una lavadora de presión haciendo rotar dos
boquillas de alta presión para producir el rociado y así
mismo determinar el tamaño del ancho de corte cuando
se limpian superficies de playas de estacionamiento,
pistas de acceso y veredas.

Responsabilidad del Dueño/Usuario

El dueño/usuario debe entender las instrucciones de
operación y las advertencias del fabricante antes de usar
el Sistema de Chorro de agua. La información de
advertencia debe ser enfatizada y entendida. Si el
operador no habla inglés, las instrucciones y
advertencias del fabricante deberán ser leídas y
discutidas en la lengua nativa del operador por el
comprador/dueño, asegurándose que el operador
entienda su contenido.

El dueño y/o usuario deben estudiar y mantener las
instrucciones del fabricante para futuras referencias.

Este manual deberá ser considerado como una
parte de la máquina y debe permanecer así en
caso que se revenda la unidad.

Cuando ordene repuestos, por favor especificar
el modelo y el número de serie.

al equipo. Sea precavido al operar. No descargar el
flujo directamente en personas o animales ya que
puede causar heridas graves o la muerte.

ADVERTENCIA: Para reducir el
riesgo de accidentes, leer
cuidadosamente las instrucciones
de operación antes de usar la
unidad.

1. Leer cuidadosamente el
manual deldel operador. El
incumplimiento de las

ADVERTENCIA: El flujo de líquido
de alta presión del equipo puede
producir perforaciones en los
tejidos de la piel, causando heridas
graves.

2. La alta presión desarrollada por
estas unidades causará
accidentes personales o daños

3. Nunca hacer ajustes a la máquina mientras esté
operando.

4. Deben usarse accesorios de seguridad para los ojos
y protección de los pies cuando se use este equipo.

5. El mejor seguro contra un accidente es la precaución
y el conocimiento de la máquina.

6. Nunca diriga la varilla del chorro de agua a cualquier
parte de su cuerpo o alguna persona a 10 pies de
distancia ya que podría producir heridas graves.

ADVERTENCIA

8. El ensamble del Sistema de chorro de agua viene
equipado con una boquilla #6 en la pistola de
apagado y dos boquillas #3 en la placa giratoria.
Revise la boquilla de su equipo antes de usarlo.

9. No seremos responsable por cualquier cambio
hecho a nuestras unidades estándar o la aplicación
de cualquier otro componente no comprado de
nosotros.

10. La presió n NO debe exceder 4,000 PSI. La
temperatura NO debe exceder 200°F.

11. Para protegerla del congelamiento, apriete la
palanca del disparador después de apagar la
máquina para lavado a presión y después de haber
desconectado el tubo flexible de alta presión de
Cyclone. Esto permitirá que el agua desagüe a
través de los tubos flexibles.

ADVERTENCIA: El chorro de alta
presión puede ocasionar que trozos
de pintura y otras partículas vuelen
por los aires a altas velocidades.

7. Debe usarse ropa de seguridad
y protección para los ojos.

TECNICAS GENERALES
DE OPERACION

1. Desconectar la pistola de alta presión de la
manguera de alta presión. Estos artículos no se
incluyen, pero serán provistos cuando se requieran
acoplar a la lavadora de presión.

2. Conectar la boquilla hembra, incluída con la
lavadora, a la manguera de agua de alta presión.

NOTA: Recomendamos no usar manguera tipo
mar para prevenir que aparezcan marcas negras
en la superficie que se está limpiando.

3. Acoplar la manguera de alta presión de la lavadora
al Sistema de chorro de agua.

SYSTEMA DE CHORRO DE AGUA

4. Inspeccionar el tamaño de la boquilla de la lavadora
de presión. El Sistema de chorro de agua viene con
dos boquillas #3. Si su lavador de presión requiere
una boquilla más grande que la #6, consulte con su
vendedor local.

NOTA: Para un lavado ideal, el Sistema de chorro
de agua debe adaptarse a un lavador de un mínimo
de 4 gpm y 3,000 psi de presión.

5. Prender el suministro de agua y arrancar la lavadora
de presión.

NOTA: Siempre es importante probar en una área
pequeña para la correcta regulación de la altura
necesaria de tal manera que la superficie a ser
limpiada no sea dañada.

6. Tirar del gatillo para que el agua empiece a limpiar
la superficie.

NOTA: Nunca deje de mover el Sistema de chorro
de agua mientras el gatillo está accionado y la
superficie está siendo limpiada o podrían ocurrir
daños en la superficie.
