USING DIFFERENT NOZZLES

Variable nozzle (with pressure adjustor) (Fig. 11)

The variable nozzle (with pressure adjustor) can be used to alternation between “Jet” and “Spray” and between “High Pressure” and “Low Pressure”.

Rotate the end on the nozzle clockwise for “Jet”, and counter-clockwise for “Spray”.

Also, rotate the pressure adjuster clockwise for “Low Pressure”, and counter-clockwise for “High Pressure”.

• 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

The pressure adjuster will also be rotated when alternating between “Jet” and “Spray”, so readjust this to the required setting after making the adjustment.

Set the spray adjustment to “Jet” 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”.

Turbo nozzle

The turbo nozzle rotates as it sprays high-pressure jets of water for ecient washing.

NOTE

The turbo nozzle only discharges powerful jets of water when set at the “Jet” mode.

Avoid using this on items that are easily broken or for which coatings are easily peeled.

USING THE DETERGENT BOTTLE (Fig. 12)

Sprays water mixed with detergent.

Uses neutral detergents available on the open market.

WARNING

Do not use acidic or alkali detergents. Use only neutral detergents available on the open market.

Using detergents other than neutral detergents or chemical agents may result in accidents or malfunctions.

NOTE

Check to make sure that the water feed pipe is rmly connected to the washer.

The detergent will not be mixed with the spray otherwise. ï Remove the cap from the detergent bottle and pour the

detergent into it.

î Make sure the lter on the tip of the detergent bottle’s water feed pipe is inserted into the liquid and then tighten the cap rmly.

NOTE

Only the “Low Pressure” setting can be used for variable nozzles (with pressure adjustors) when using the detergent bottle.

English

The detergent will not be sprayed if the “High Pressure” setting on variable nozzles (with pressure adjustors) or turbo nozzles are used.

í Set the adjustor to “Low Pressure” when using variable nozzles (with pressure adjustors.)

ì Water containing the detergent will be sprayed at low pressure when the trigger on the trigger gun is pulled.

Cleaning the detergent bottle (Figs. 13 and 14)

ïRemove the detergent bottle’s water feed pipe from the washer.

Push the detergent bottle from the bottom and withdraw it from the top.

Wash the detergent bottle, water feed pipe and lter with water from the faucet.

When reattaching the bottle, hold it as shown in Fig. 14, and then push the protrusion on the bottom in as far as it will go.

Insert the water feed pipe into the washer and tighten the

cap while making sure dust or dirt does not enter.îíìë

USING THE STRAINER HOSE SET (sold separately)

The separately-sold strainer hose set is equipped with a function that will automatically suck water from a water tank, etc., when attached to the AW150.

The maximum height of suction (lifting range) is approximately 0.5 m.

Attach this correctly in accordance with conditions.
