This document is the Operator Manual for the ANLU APW-VAP-110P High Pressure Cleaner. It provides an overview, application details, safety regulations, operating instructions, spray nozzle information, water inlet screen details, detergent usage, long-term storage advice, gun safety device information, cleaning pin instructions, major technical data, an electrical diagram, troubleshooting guide, and installation instructions.
Function Description:
The ANLU APW-VAP-110P is a portable, specialized, and multifunctional high-pressure washing machine designed for cleaning various outdoor equipment and surfaces. Its primary function is to deliver a high-pressure stream of water to effectively wash and clean items such as cars, bikes, garden patios, and greenhouses. The machine incorporates an automatic ON/OFF feature, where the motor only runs when the trigger of the spray gun is squeezed, contributing to energy efficiency and reduced wear.
Important Technical Specifications:
The "MAJOR TECHNICAL DATA" section provides the following specifications for the APW-VAP-110P:
- Working pressure: 11 MPa (110 bar)
- Working flow rate: 7.0 l/min
- Max. pressure water supply: 0.4 MPa (4 bar)
- Motor Capacity: 2.4 kW
- Power Supply Voltage: 220-240V/50Hz
- Max Water Temperature: 50 °C
- Weight: 21 kgs
- Dimensions (CM): 100 x 39 x 42
Usage Features:
The pressure cleaner is equipped with several features to enhance its usability:
- Automatic ON/OFF: The motor activates only when the spray gun trigger is squeezed, and stops when released.
- Bleeding the Gun: Before use, it's crucial to bleed the gun by squeezing the trigger for up to 2 minutes to expel trapped air until a steady stream of water emerges.
- Spray Nozzles: The unit comes with four color-coded spray nozzles, each designed for a specific spray pattern and pressure:
- 0° Nozzle (Red): Delivers a powerful, pinpoint stream for intense cleaning of small, durable areas like metal or concrete. Not recommended for wood.
- 25° Nozzle (Green): Provides a 25-degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of larger areas that can withstand pressure.
- 40° Nozzle (White): Offers a 40-degree spray pattern with a less powerful stream, suitable for most general cleaning jobs over wide areas.
- Chemical Nozzle (Black): Produces the weakest pressure stream, specifically for applying special chemicals and cleaning solutions.
- Nozzles are stored in receptacles on the handle, with colors indicating their location and spray pattern.
- Detergent Usage: Detergent can be added to a container, and the Adjustable Spray Wand can be set to a low-pressure position to spray detergent.
- Water Inlet Screen: An adjustable switch allows control of the cleaning solution flow rate.
- Gun Safety Device: A safety lock on the gun prevents accidental activation when the machine is stopped.
- Controls: The device includes an on/off switch, water outlet, water inlet, and a mobile adapter bracket with wheels for portability.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the pressure cleaner:
- Water Inlet Filter Inspection: The water inlet filter must be inspected regularly to prevent blockage and restriction of water supply to the pump.
- Cleaning Pin Instruction: The manual provides instructions for cleaning the nozzle hole using an included tip cleaner or an unfolded paper clip to dislodge debris. Additional debris can be removed by back-flushing water through the nozzle with a garden hose for 30-60 seconds.
- Long-Term Storage: For long-term storage, the machine should be kept in a frost-free environment. After prolonged storage, if the machine is hard to start due to scale formation, it is recommended to turn off and disconnect the power supply, then rotate the motor by hand several times to prevent excessive current draw.
- Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive troubleshooting table helps users diagnose and resolve common issues such as the machine not starting, fluctuating pressure, water leaks, motor stopping suddenly, or insufficient pressure. It provides probable causes and corresponding repair actions, including checking connections, cleaning parts, replacing worn components, and referring to a dealer if necessary.
Safety Regulations:
The manual emphasizes several critical safety warnings:
- Read all instructions before use.
- Release pressure from the wand before starting the washer.
- Ensure close supervision when used near children; not for use by children or untrained persons.
- Familiarize yourself with controls, stopping procedures, and pressure bleeding.
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and do not operate when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Keep the operating area clear of all persons.
- Avoid overreaching or standing on unstable supports; maintain good footing and balance.
- Follow maintenance instructions.
- The product must be grounded, and the plug must be connected to an appropriate, properly installed, and grounded outlet.
- Use only 3-wire extension cords with 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors, intended for outdoor use and watertight construction.
- Do not use damaged or inadequate extension cords.
- Disconnect from power supply before maintenance.
- Only use original spare parts from the manufacturer.
- Do not use if the supply cord or important parts (safety devices, high-pressure hoses, trigger gun) are damaged.
- Do not use corrosive chemicals; only cleaning water or manufacturer-recommended cleaning agents.
- Do not direct high-pressure jets at persons, live electrical equipment, the appliance itself, or tire walls.
- Do not run the machine for more than 3 minutes without depressing the pressure wand trigger to avoid heat damage.
- Maintain a constant water supply when the machine is running to prevent damage to sealing rings.
- Turn on the spray lance within one or two minutes after starting the machine to prevent overheating.
- Do not start or run the machine in excessively cold places to prevent freezing.
- Do not operate in rain or storm; keep connections dry and off the ground; do not touch plugs with wet hands.
- Be aware of the recoil caused by the water jet when the machine is switched on.
- Never disconnect the high-pressure discharge hose while the system is pressurized.
The manual also includes an electrical diagram for reference and notes that the company reserves the right to modify product specifications without notice. It also provides guidance on proper disposal of electrical appliances and states that the appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
