Starting up of the machine and spray should be carried out in the following
sequence:
•
With the engine stopped, locate the machine in the required position on site.
•
Ensure the valve controlling the HP water to the spray unit is OFF; the oscillation is
OFF; and the oscillation stroke OFF.
•
Set the spray elevation and oscillation stroke to meet anticipated requirements.
Ensure the black knob securing the elevation angle is tight.

Ensuring yourself and others are well clear of the spray zone, start the Commando
unit.

Once up to pressure and ensuring the spray zone remains clear of people, gently

Any further adjustment of the spray elevation angle or stroke should only take place
