Clarke 7330100 PLS100FH Diesel Power Instructions

To start the power washer, first ensure it is on a flat surface. Check the oil and fuel levels. Open the fuel valve and set the choke if the engine is cold. Turn the engine switch to 'ON', then pull the starter cord briskly. Once the engine starts, gradually adjust the choke to 'RUN'.
If the pressure is low, check for blockages in the nozzle and hose. Ensure the water supply is adequate and the inlet filter is clean. Inspect the high-pressure hose for leaks and replace if necessary. Make sure the spray gun trigger is fully engaged.
Regular maintenance should be performed every 50 hours of use or at least once a season. This includes checking and changing the oil, cleaning the air filter, and inspecting the spark plug. Regularly check hoses and connections for wear or damage.
Use SAE 10W-30 diesel engine oil for the Clarke PLS100FH power washer. Ensure the oil level is checked before each use and changed every 50 hours of operation.
For winter storage, drain all water from the pump and hoses to prevent freezing damage. Add fuel stabilizer to the diesel tank and run the engine for a few minutes. Store the power washer in a dry, sheltered location.
Always wear protective eyewear and gloves when operating the power washer. Ensure the area is clear of debris and bystanders. Never point the spray gun at people or animals, and avoid using the washer on delicate surfaces.
To clean the air filter, remove the filter cover and take out the filter element. Wash it in soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely. Reinstall the filter and cover before using the washer again.
If the engine won't start, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for fouling or damage, and replace if necessary. Verify that the oil level is adequate and the engine switch is turned on.
To adjust the spray pressure, use the nozzle selector on the spray wand. Select a narrower spray pattern for higher pressure and a wider pattern for lower pressure. Always make adjustments when the engine is off and the trigger is not engaged.
Yes, you can use detergent. Attach the detergent siphon hose to the washer and place the other end in a detergent container. Use the appropriate nozzle for detergent application, and adjust the spray pattern as needed. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
