Homelite UT80720 manuel dutilisation Using the Nozzles, Using the High Pressure Hose, English

OPERATION

High Pressure Cleaning:

Squeeze the high pressure trigger located beneath the rear handle. This will provide a spray of water at high pressure.

Low Pressure (High Flow) Cleaning:

Move the low pressure (high flow) lever on top of the trigger han- dle forward. This will provide a spray of water at low pressure.

NOTE: When using low pressure (high flow) cleaning only, depress the high pressure trigger lock-out to prevent ac- cidental depressing of the high pressure trigger.

Combination Cleaning/Rinsing:

To apply a high pressure stream and rinse the area with water at the same time (for instance, in a heavily soiled area), move the low pressure (high flow) lever forward and depress the high pressure trigger.

NOTE: Any cleaning or rinsing method using high pressure spray requires that the ON/OFF switch be in the ON position. For methods using low pressure only, the switch may be in either the ON or OFF position.

USING THE NOZZLES

See Figure 15.

Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the job. The 15˚ nozzle is for general purpose or large surfaces and the turbo nozzle gives up to 50% more clean- ing power.

Nozzle	Application
	For narrow surfaces
	• Removing heavy mildew stains
15º	• Removing marine growth from boats and
	marine equipment
	• Removing rust from steel and oxidation
	from aluminum
	• Removing grease or dirt from equipment
	• Removing paint from wood, masonry or
	metal
	Pencil jet nozzle rotates at high speed to
	increase intensity and cleaning area of the
Turbo	spray. Spray pattern will cover an area from 4
	to 8 in. wide depending on distance between
	wand and surface being cleaned.
	• Rust removal
	• Non-painted metal or plastic tank cleaning
	• Washing concrete
	• Removing gum from sidewalks
	• Boat cleaning
	• Cleaning dirty garage floors
	• Removing mud and clay from hard surfaces
	like concrete, brick, or stone

WARNING:

NEVER change nozzles without locking the lock-out on the trigger handle and never point the wand at your face or at others. The quick-connect feature contains small springs that could eject the nozzle with some force. Fail- ure to heed this can cause personal injury.

nTurn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup- ply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.

nEngage the lock-out on the trigger handle by pushing up on the lock-out until it clicks into the slot.

nPull back the quick-connect collar.

nPush the nozzle into place in the spray wand.

nPush the collar forward so that the nozzle is secured properly. Check to see that the nozzle is secure.

To disconnect a nozzle from the trigger handle once the cleaning job is complete:

nTurn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup- ply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.

nEngage the lock-out on the trigger handle by pushing up on the lock-out until it clicks into the slot.

nRemove the nozzle by placing hand over nozzle then pulling back the quick-connect collar. Place nozzle in the nozzle storage area on the top of the machine.

USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE

The high pressure hose features an outer covering that pro- vides strength to the hose. If the outer covering becomes damaged, the hose must be replaced immediately. Do not use a high pressure hose if the outer covering is damaged.

To prevent damage to the outer covering:

nInspect the hose before every use.

nFully unwrap and straighten hose before use.

nDo not allow the high pressure hose to be kinked.

nKeep hose away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.

nDo not pull unit by high pressure hose.

nDo not allow hose to be crushed or wrapped around objects.
