Page 11

English

• Jet washer

A water jet is discharged in a direct line to remove

stubborn mud and other dirt from agricultural machinery, etc.

• Spray washer

The water is discharged in a wide fan for cleaning walls,

motorbikes and automobiles, etc.

The entire nozzle can be rotated by approximately 90

degrees to change the shape of the spray between horizontal and vertical.

NOTE

Set the spray adjustment to “Jet” ﬁ rst of all, and then

gradually move it to the “Spray” position while pulling the trigger.

Note that there is a chance of the water being sprayed

horizontally over a wide area if this is rotated fully to the “Spray” position.

Note that the nozzle may be damaged if it is forced to

move past the stop position when alternating between “Jet” and “Spray”.

Detergent bottle nozzle (Fig. 11 and 12)

Sprays water mixed with detergent. Uses neutral detergents available on the open market. (1) Insert the water feed pipe into the detergent nozzle. (2) Pour an undiluted neutral detergent into the bottle and

Moisten the O-ring with water if it is di cult to insert the

nozzle.

WASHING

WARNING

Do not switch the washer on while the trigger is being

pulled.

Failure to observe this may result in high-pressure water

being sprayed immediately, leading to unexpected accidents.

Do not point the nozzle at people or animals.

Failure to observe this may result in injury.

CAUTION

Set the switch to “OFF” immediately if the hose becomes

detached from the faucet or washer, and if water is no longer being fed to the washer.

Failure to observe this may result in immediate

malfunctions (dry operations.)

Set the switch to “OFF” without fail when temporarily

suspending operations.

Failure to observe this may result in the motor

automatically starting up.

Place your ﬁ nger in the center of the trigger during

operations (Fig. 13)

ﬁ ngers.

Grip the gun and nozzle ﬁ rmly with both hands.

The trigger gun may kick back when water is discharged.

NOTE

Do not use the water hose when it is wound onto the reel.

Failure to observe this may result in insu cient water

feed.

Commence initial washing approximately 2 to 3 meters

away from the targeted item, and then move gradually closer while checking the level of cleaning until you reach a distance in which soiling is e ectively washed away.

The pressure of the spray from the washer is

approximately 20-times greater than tap water. Highpressure water jets may therefore damage or peel the coating from the items being washed.

There are cases when the water spray will appear

unstable owing to the fact that air that has built up in the pump and hose is purged together with the water immediately after use. In this event, allow the water to ﬂ ow out until it stabilizes.

Leave two or more seconds gap between pulling and

releasing the trigger.

Failure to observe this may result in the pressure switch

malfunctions.

Do not use the washer for more than thirty consecutive

minutes without giving it a break.

1. Open the faucet to its fullest.

Point the nozzle in a safe direction and then fully open the

faucet. Check to make sure no water is leaking from the joints.

pull the trigger on the trigger gun to discharge a small amount of water from the nozzle with just the pressure from the tap water. Check to make sure that no water is leaking.

NOTE

Do not switch the washer on with the faucet turned o . Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.

2. Set the switch to the “ON” position (Fig. 14)

The motor will start operating when the washer is

switched on. The motor will automatically switch o once su cient water pressure has built up inside the washer.

3. Pull the trigger (Fig. 15)

Hold the trigger gun ﬁ rmly in both hands, point the nozzle

at the item to be washed, and then pull the trigger.

The high-pressure water jet will spray out. Adjust the nozzle between “Jet” and “Spray” in

accordance with need.

Trigger stopper (Fig. 16)

The trigger gun is ﬁ tted with a trigger stopper to prevent

the trigger from being pulled.

The trigger is locked and released by pressing the

stopper in the direction shown by the arrows.

NOTE

Lock the trigger with the trigger stopper during pauses

and after washing has been completed.
