Washing, On Completion of USE | Hitachi AW 130 guide

English

5. Check to make sure the water is ﬂowing out (Fig. 17)

(1) Connect the trigger gun from which the nozzle has been removed to the high-pressure hose.

(2) Plug in the power socket and set the switch to “ON”.

(3) Pull the trigger gun’s trigger, and then set the switch to “OFF” after checking that sucient water is ﬂowing out.

6. Attach the nozzle.

NOTE

Set the switch at “OFF” if water does not ﬂow out within two minutes.

Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions (dry operations.)

7. Washing

Set the switch at “ON” and pull the trigger gun’s trigger to commence washing.

8. Cleaning

Remove all dirt from the strainer’s grill, wash it with water and store it after it has dried.

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 ﬁnger in the center of the trigger during operations (Fig. 18)

Failure to observe this may result in injury from pinched ﬁngers.

Grip the gun and nozzle ﬁrmly 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 insucient 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 eectively washed away.

The pressure of the spray from the washer is approximately 20-times greater than tap water. High- pressure 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 ﬂow 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

20 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.

Release the trigger stopper with the washer switched o, 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. 19)

The motor will start operating when the washer is switched on. The motor will automatically switch o once sucient water pressure has built up inside the washer.

3. Pull the trigger (Fig. 20)

Hold the trigger gun ﬁrmly 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. 21)

The trigger gun is ﬁtted 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.

ON COMPLETION OF USE

Once the targeted item has been washed, drain the residual water from the washer and store it in a well-ventilated location to dry.

There are cases in which water left in the hose may freeze during the winter, so drain as much water as possible and store it indoors.

WARNING

Make sure all residual water is drained from the washer, the trigger gun and the hose, etc., after use.

Failure to observe this may result in freezing, leading to malfunctions.

1. Draining water from the washer

(1) Stop the water supply.

(2) Set the switch to “ON” and pull the trigger on the trigger gun to drain the water from the inside of the washer. Continue this until water is no longer discharged (approximately 30 to 60 seconds.)

(3) Press the trigger stopper on the trigger gun to lock it in place.

2. Set the switch to “OFF”.

(1) Switch o the washer.

(2) Unplug the power cord from the mains socket.

NOTE

Leaving the washer switched on may result in dry operations, leading to malfunctions.

3. Removing the high-pressure hose (Fig. 22)

(1) Loosen the ring.

(2) Remove the high-pressure hose from the washer’s water outlet.

(3) Drain all residual water from the high-pressure hose.
