Aussie Pumps
March 2018
NOTE
: Check the system for water leaks, fuel leaks,
oil leaks, hose kinks, etc. Correct any problems before
proceeding.
Machine is now ready for operation.
F. Applying detergent
NOTE:
The detergent injection uses a venturi action
and operates when low pressure is selected on the
gun assembly.
For longer hose lengths (over 8m for the AB30 & 10m
for the AB40) the detergent injector will not operate
successfully. Use a foamer lance instead (included
with AB30 hose reel version, otherwise optional).
1. Prepare pressure washer detergent solution as
required by manufacturer.
2. Place detergent siphon tube/filter into solution.
3. Adjust lance to low pressure setting (refer to
section E).
4. Apply cleaning solution to a dry surface, starting at
lower portion of areas to be washed and work
upward, using long overlapping strokes.
5. Allow time for detergent to activate and then rinse
off. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on.
IMPORTANT
; You must flush the injection system
after each use by placing siphon hose into a bucket of
clean water, then run pressure washer in low
pressure for 2 minutes.
Using Foamer
(supplied with AB30 hose reel version)
1. Using brass nipple supplied
(C1500.06, M22 x ¼M), attach
foaming nozzle to the gun in place of
Vario lance.
2. Prepare pressure washer detergent
solution as required by
manufacturer.
3. Fill foamer bottle and screw into foamer nozzle.
Ensure siphon tube is attached inside bottle.
4. Spray angle can be adjusted by rotating the nozzle
cover. The amount of foam delivered is adjusted
with the knob on top.
5. Apply cleaning solution to a dry surface, starting at
lower portion of areas to be washed and work
upward, using long overlapping strokes.
6. Allow time for foam to activate and then rinse off.
DO NOT allow foam to dry on.
IMPORTANT:
rinse foamer nozzle & bottle with clean
water after every use to prevent clogging.
G. Stopping the machine
1. If using the detergent injector, flush out the
chemical by running clean water through the
system.
2. Allow machine to run for 1 minute without load
to cool before stopping.
3. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to OFF
4. Pull recoil start until compression resistance is
felt. Store the machine in this position to help
prevent valve warpage or sticking.
5. Close fuel valve.
FAILURE TO CLOSE THE FUEL VALVE ON THE
ENGINE CAN CAUSE FUEL LEAKAGE WHEN THE
MACHINE IS BEING TRANSPORTED!
6. Turn off water supply.
7. Pull gun trigger to release all pressure in the
system, then LOCK THE TRIGGER.
8. Hoses may now be disconnected from the
machine.
Failure to release pressure before disconnecting the
hose quick coupler will result in the quick coupler o-
ring seal blowing out. This o-ring must be replaced
before operating machine.
