Sealey PW5000 - Manual (Page 4)

5.5. Hosereel.
The hosereel may be locked by means of the catch on the rear of the trunnion.(fig.7)
5.6. Operating the machine.
5.6.1. Hold the spray gun firmly to counteract the recoil caused by the high pressure of the water.
Before switching on ensure that the lance is not directed at people, objects or animals prior
to being directed at the object to be cleaned.
5.6.2. It is recommended that the trigger is depressed before switching on the unit before every use.
This reduces the back pressure and amperage draw which prevents fuses blowing.
5.6.3. Switch the machine on by turning the switch to the 'On' position (fig.5). Release the handle
safety catch (fig 4.3). Point the lance at the object to be cleaned and depress the trigger fully.
When the trigger is released the motor will switch off automatically.
5.6.4. Output pressure may be adjusted by rotating the pressure control valve knob (fig.8.1). The pressure
is shown by the pressure gauge (fig.8.2). The pressure gauge is partly filled with glycerine to act as
a damper; the presence of visible liquid does not indicate a fault.
Note: The pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning increases as you move the
nozzle closer to the surface.
5.7. Using detergent.
5.7.1. Use only detergents approved for use in pressure washers.
5.7.2. To add detergent, remove cap and fill reservoir (fig.9).
5.7.3. The detergent nozzle (black) must be fitted to the lance (see section 5.4).
5.7.4. The ratio of detergent/water can be varied by holding the detergent cap and rotatintg the inner knob.
(fig.9).
5.7.5. After using the detergent system, flush through with clean water.
Note: Failure to clean properly will cause the injection system to become clogged and inoperable.

WARNING: DO NOT leave motor switched on for more than 15 minutes without operating trigger.
If the water pressure drops (e.g. someone else using the same water supply), the washer will
not operate correctly. Switch the motor off immediately and wait until the pressure is restored.
5.8. When washing is completed.
5.8.1. Switch the power supply off by turning switch to 'Off' position (fig.5) unplug from mains and stow
electric flex, keeping plug dry.
5.8.2. Turn off the water supply tap.
5.8.3. Discharge residual pressure by pressing the trigger until no more water comes out of the nozzle.

WARNING! Failure to discharge pressure could result in personal injury.
5.8.4. Disconnect the inlet hose and coil the outlet hose back onto the reel.
5.8.5. Wipe the machine clean and dry and store in a clean, safe, dry, childproof location.

1. Reconnect plug.
2. See below
Circuit breaker trips or fuse blown. 1. Circuit Overload.
2. Extension cord too long or wire size too
small.
3. Nozzle partially blocked, causing
