Water Connection - Black & Decker BEPW1600LLP Manual

ENGLISH
Caution! Before operation:
Connect the garden hose to a water supply. Water can
u
be drawn from a faucet or another water supply. Refer to
Self Priming under Preparing Pressure Washer Unit
for Use.
Connect the high pressure hose to the pressure washer
u
and the spray handle. For instructions on connecting the
high pressure hose to the pressure washer and spray
handle, please refer to Attaching High Pressure Hose
under Assembly.
Connect the garden hose to the pressure washer. For in-
u
structions on connecting the water supply to the pressure
washer, please refer to Attaching Garden Hose under
Assembly.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate power source.
u
Preparing Spray Handle
Important! Before turning on the pressure washer unit, disen-
gage the trigger lock-off ( 6 ) and squeeze the trigger ( 7 ).
Disengage the trigger lock-off ( 6 ) .
u
Squeeze the trigger ( 7 ). Hold the trigger for 30 seconds
u
to purge the system of air.
If air is still found in the water stream, continue to run
u
water through the spray handle.

Water Connection

Warning! According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be used on
the drinking water network without a system
seperator. Use a system seperator as per IEC
61770 Type BA.
Water flowing through a system seperator is
not considered drinkable.
Comply with the regulations of your water supply com-
u
pany.
All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
u
Make sure the supply hose is at least 12.7 mm in diameter
u
and is reinforced.
The appliance should never be used on the drinking water
u
supply without a backflow valve. Water that has passed
the backflow valve is considered undrinkable.
Cleaning a Surface
To start the pressure washer, rotate the ON/OFF dial ( 17 )
u
to the ON position.
Confirm that the water faucet is open or use any other
u
water source so that water will be supplied to the pressure
washer unit.
The best angle for spraying water against a cleaning
u
surface is 45 °.
Spraying head on tends to cause dirt particles to imbed
u
in the surface.
When working on vertical surfaces, it is best to apply
u
detergent starting at the bottom and working upwards
which will prevent the detergent from sliding down and
causing streaks.

NOTE: Excessive pump pressure may be the result of a
clogged nozzle. Always turn OFF the pressure washer unit
and unplug the unit before attempting to unclog a nozzle.
Detergents (J1, J2, J3, J4)
For steps on attaching the detergent/soap bottle, please refer
to Attaching Soap Bottle under
Bottle under Assembly.
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time
and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Some detergents
have been customized for pressure washer use on specific
cleaning tasks.
The cleaning power of detergents comes from applying them
to a surface and giving the chemicals time to break down
the dirt and grime. Detergents work best when applied at
low pressure.
The combination of chemical action and high pressure rinsing
is very effective.
On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom
and work your way upward. This will prevent the detergent
from sliding down and causing streaks. High pressure rinsing
should also progress from the bottom to top. On particularly
tough stains, it may be necessary to use a brush in combina-
tion with detergents and high pressure rinsing.
Moving the Pressure Washer
Turn OFF the pressure washer unit ( 16 ) by rotating the
u
ON/OFF dial ( 17 ) to the OFF position and then turn OFF
the water supply.
Point the spray wand ( 2 ) in a safe direction and pull the
u
trigger ( 7 ) to release remaining water pressure.
When the spray wand is completely empty, lift the pres-
u
sure washer by the handle ( 18 ).
Shutdown (Fig. A, D)
Turn OFF the pressure washer unit ( 16 ) by rotating the
u
ON/OFF dial ( 17 ) to the OFF position and unplug the
cord from the outlet.
Turn OFF water at the faucet or disconnect from any other
u
water source.
Discharge residual pressure by squeezing the trigger ( 7 )
u
until no more water comes out of the spray wand ( 2 ).
Engage the spray trigger lock-off ( 6 ).
u
Disconnect the garden hose ( 28 ) from the water
u
intake ( 25 ).
Disconnect the high pressure hose ( 1 ) from the high
u
pressure water outlet ( 20 ) and drain hose.
Self Priming (Fig. A, C, D, K1, K2, K3, K4)
