ACCESSORIES

Technical Specification

• PL = Sound Power Level on equipment representative of this type
• GSPL = Guaranteed Sound Power Level for this equipment.
• if using machine with two operators the rated flow will be split between each outlet.
• For example: If the machine has a rated flow of 30 Lpm each outlet will give 15 Lpm.
• Notes
• For the engine to reach it’s maximum power, and the unit to achieve full rated performance, the machine must be run in for at least 10 hours. The engine’s performance diminishes as altitude and ambient temperature increase. If the machine is to be used at altitude or with a high ambient temperature please refer to the engine user manual for guidance and any necessary precautions.

Safety Devices

• Safety devices serve to protect the user and machine and must not be rendered inoperative or their functions bypassed. Safety devices must not be tampered with by the user as this could result in serious injury and/or damage to the machine.
• Unloader Valve or Bypass Valve – Pre-set by the manufacturer, for regulating the working pressure and allowing the pumped fluid to return to the supply tank (or to atmosphere) when the operator closes the trigger gun.
• Safety Valve – Either set and sealed by the machine manufacturer or factory set at source, for protecting the pump and machine should the main control valve malfunction or the machines maximum pressure be exceeded.
• Trigger Gun Safety Latch – Safety stop for locking the trigger gun lever in the closed position so it cannot be opened accidentally.

Standard Accessories

• All Loncin powered Evoultion3 pressure washers are supplied with the following accessories. Make sure all the items listed are included when unboxing for the first time.
• High pressure lance assembly.
• 10m high pressure hose assembly.
• 3m bypass hose assembly with hose clamps.
• 3m suction hose assembly with suction filter and hose clamps.
• In case of transport damage inform vendor immediately.
• When unpacking the product, make sure that no accessories are missing and that none of the package contents have been damaged.

Pre-Operation Checks and Set-Up CHECKS

1. DAMAGE – Before each period of use ensure the machine and all components and accessories are complete and undamaged. Take care to ensure the suction hose and bypass hoses are kink-free.
2. TRAVEL PLUGS – On the pump and gearbox REMOVE THE RED TRAVEL PLUGS and replace with the appropriate yellow-topped oil dipstick/breather
3. OIL LEVELS – Check oil levels on the sight glasses on both the gearbox and pump, the oil should be half way up the sight glasses – ensure machine is on a level surface.
4. ENGINE OIL – Use the engine dipstick to check the engine oil level, refer to the engine manufacturers handbook for levels and oil types.
5. FUEL – Fill the fuel tank with petrol fuel, refer the engine manufacturers handbook for fuel types. DO NOT USE BIOFUEL
6. TYRES – Ensure all four tyres are inflated to 2 Bar (30 psi).
7. BATTERY – Connect the battery leads, RED TO +VE, EARTH TO -VE.
8. FILTERS – Ensure both the suction hose filter and pump inlet filter are clean.

SET UP

• Connect the suction filter and hose assembly to the suction filter hose barb. Ensure all connections are tight and leak free. Air leaks on the suction side will impair the machine performance and damage components. Place suction filter in water supply tank ensuring it remains under the water level.
• Connect the bypass hose to the unloader valve bypass outlet. Place the other end in the water supply tank taking care to ensure it is a good distance from the suction filter to minimise any turbulence near the suction filter.
• Connect one end of the high pressure hose assembly to the high pressure outlet of the unloader valve.
• Connect the other end of the high pressure hose assembly to the lance assembly inlet. Ensure the trigger gun safety latch is engaged to prevent accidental operation.
• For twin outlet only – If using machine with two operators the rated flow will be split between each outlet.
• For example: If the machine has a rated flow of 30 Lpm each outlet will give 15 Lpm.

Start Up and Operation

• Before starting the machine the user must be familiar with the engine starting and stopping procedure and any safety requirements stated in the engine manufacturer’s handbook supplied with the unit.
• WARNING: Do not let the pump idle in By-Pass for lengthy periods, if you intend to break from work for more than 3 minutes, switch the machine off. Should the machine run for a longer period, the temperature of the re-circulating water will increase rapidly and could risk damaging the pump seals. Running pressure washers should never be left unattended.

Open the Fuel Tap.

• The Fuel Tap is located on the underside of the fuel tank, there is a label positioned on the back of the fuel tank pointing out its location.
• Fuel Tap is in ON position here
• Move the throttle lever to half revs.
• Pull out the choke if starting from cold.
• Turn the ignition switch clockwise.
• When engine runs smoothly, increase the revs as required.
• Push in the choke if used in step

Stopping Procedure

• DRAIN PUMP – Remove the suction hose from the water supply tank and drain the water from the pump by allowing the machine to run for a few seconds with the trigger gun open until no water is coming from the high pressure jet.
• SHUTDOWN ENGINE – In keeping with the information from the engine manufacturer’s manual, reduce the engine revs and switch the ignition switch to the off position.
• RELEASE RESIDUAL HIGH PRESSURE WATER – Pull the trigger gun to release any trapped pressure in the delivery line.
• TRIGGER GUN SAFETY LATCH – Ensure the trigger gun safety latch is engaged to prevent accidental operation.
• COOL DOWN – Wait for the machine to cool down before transporting.

Transporting

• During transportation the machine must be secured using suitably rated straps and fixings. Ensure the fuel is turned off at the fuel tap.
• The machine must only be lifted and secured by attaching lifting/security equipment to the main frame. No lifting/security straps should come in to contact with the engine, gearbox, pump, valves or filter.

Decommisioning and Storage

• ENGINE – Follow the guidelines in the relevant section of engine manufacturer’s handbook.
• HOSES AND ACCESSORIES – Disconnect hoses and lance assembly. Ensure all water is expelled from hoses and lance, check for damage and store in a manner that will not kink the hose assemblies.
• PRESSURE WASHER – Ensure all the water is expelled from the pump by turning over the engine.
• BATTERY – Disconnect battery and ensure the battery pole terminals and pole terminals are adequately protected with pole grease.
• STORAGE – Machine and accessories must be stored in dry and frost-free environment.

Maintenance Information

• Maintenance and servicing of the machine must only be undertaken by suitably trained and qualified technicians.
