Sealey PW5000 - Manual (Page 3)

IMPORTANT! The washer motor will stop as soon as the gun trigger is released and will restart when the trigger is
squeezed. Always allow at least 5 seconds between releasing the trigger and restarting.
5.1. Primary checks.
Check that the inlet filter is clean; pump delivery and pressure will be reduced if blocked. Never use the machine without a
filter (which is fitted inside the inlet connector). Ensure that the water supply, high pressure hose and gun are correctly
connected, and that air can circulate around the washer freely.
5.2. Operation of safety catch.
To prevent inadvertent operation of the unit the safety catch should always be engaged when the gun is not in use. Open
the safety catch as in fig.4.3 to lock the trigger against the guard.
5.3. Bleeding the gun.
It is very important to bleed the gun before using the pressure washer. Squeeze the trigger BEFORE turning the electrical supply on.
This allows any air trapped inside the pressure
washer and gun to be removed before using the unit. Continue holding the trigger for approximately one minute to allow any excess
air out of the unit.
Water will flow through the gun at low pressure during this procedure.
5.4. Nozzle selection.
5.4.1 To fit a nozzle into the lance, pull the brass collar back along the coupling (fig. 6.1)
5.4.2. Push nozzle body into the coupling and release the ring, locking the nozzle in place (fig.6.2)

WARNING! Ensure the nozzle is locked into position, failure to ensure this could result in the nozzle being ejected under high
pressure when operating the gun.
5.4.3. Five nozzles are supplied for use with the general purpose lance:
Red: 0° (pencil jet)
Yellow: 15° fan
Green: 25° fan
White: 40° fan
Black: Detergent (low pressure) nozzle

WARNING! The 0° (needle jet) nozzle is extremely aggresive and must be used with great care.
The use of a fan nozzle is recommended for general cleaning.

4. ASSEMBLY
4.4. Connecting the water supply.
4.4.1. Use a reinforced hose pipe with an internal diameter of 1/2” and connect to the mains water supply. Before attaching the hose to the
pressure washer flush the hose through with some clean water to remove any foreign matter from within the hose.
4.4.2. Connect female quick conection hose fitting to the clear inlet filter on the front of the machine (fig.2).
4.4.3. Push male leader hose connection (fig.3.1.) into the pump outlet connector (fig.3.2) and secure by tightening the collar (fig.3.3). Push
the nozzle into the gun as shown in fig.4 (1 and 2) and screw the threaded male lance connector into the gun, again ensuring
that the connection is tight.
4.5. Connecting to mains electrical supply.

WARNING! Ensure the On/Off switch (fig.5) is in the 'Off' position.
Using an RCD plugged into a 13A mains socket, DO NOT turn the power on. DO NOT touch the plug with wet hands.
5. OPERATION
 WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 safety instructions.

WARNING! Dry running can damage the unit seriously.
 WARNING! Use washer on a flat, levelled surface, in an upright position.
Failure to do so will invalidate your warranty. Never lay the washer down during use.
4.1. Attach handle/reel assembly to the machine base by sliding the handle tubes
over tubular stubs protruding from base and securing by means of M6 x 40 bolts
(x2) and securing knobs.
4.2. Attach winding handle to the reel by 4mm hex bolt.
4.3. WARNING! Ensure that the transit plug fitted to the oil filler is replaced by
the vented dipstick supplied. (See fig.1)
