To start the Clarke 7330657 PLC100LT Petrol Power Washer, first ensure that the fuel tank is filled with petrol and the oil level is adequate. Turn the fuel valve to the 'ON' position, set the choke lever to 'CLOSED' if the engine is cold, and switch the ignition to 'ON'. Pull the starter cord briskly until the engine starts, then gradually move the choke lever to 'OPEN'.
To clean the nozzle, turn off the washer and disconnect it from the power source. Remove the nozzle from the spray wand, then use a small brush or a piece of wire to clear any debris from the nozzle tip. Rinse the nozzle with water before reattaching it to the spray wand.
It is recommended to change the oil in your Clarke 7330657 power washer after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours of operation or annually thereafter, whichever comes first.
If the power washer won't start, check the fuel level to ensure there is enough petrol. Verify that the spark plug is clean and properly connected. Check the air filter for dirt and clean or replace it if necessary. Ensure the fuel valve is in the 'ON' position and that the choke is set correctly for a cold start.
To winterize the Clarke 7330657 power washer, first drain all water from the pump and hoses. Add a pump saver antifreeze solution through the water inlet to prevent freezing and corrosion. Store the washer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Regular maintenance for the power washer's pump includes checking and maintaining proper oil levels, inspecting for any leaks, and ensuring the water inlet filter is clean. It's also important to run pump saver through the system if the washer will be stored for an extended period.
To troubleshoot poor pressure, check for blockages in the nozzle or water inlet filter. Ensure the water supply is adequate and that there are no kinks in the hose. Also, verify that the unloader valve is functioning correctly and adjust if necessary.
The Clarke 7330657 power washer is designed for use with cold water only. Using hot water can damage the pump and other components. For applications requiring hot water, consider using a model specifically designed for hot water use.
It is recommended to use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using stale or contaminated fuel, as this can cause starting issues and poor performance.
To replace the spark plug, first disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the old spark plug. Check the gap on the new spark plug and adjust if necessary. Install the new spark plug by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the wrench. Reattach the spark plug wire.
