IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

SPRAY PRECAUTIONS:

RISK OF INJECTION OR SEVERE CUTTING INJURY

KEEP CLEAR OF NOZZLE

DO NOT DIRECT DISCHARGE STREAM AT PERSONS OR PETS

WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD

ALWAYS BE OBSERVED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

1. KEEP AWAY FROM THE SPRAY:

-Because of the high pressure and velocity of the spray, fluids can

penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.

-Never point the gun at yourself or anyone else. Never put your hand,

fingers or body directly over the spray nozzle. Always keep operating area

clear of all persons. Use extreme caution when operating near children.

-If an accident does occur and the spray appears to have penetrated the

skin, SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. DO NOT TREAT AS A

SIMPLE CUT. If you are using cleaning agents, be prepared to tell a

physician exactly what kind.

2. When using hot inlet water, do not touch or direct dishcarge stream at

persons. Pump surface temperature is the same as inlet water temperature.

3. ALWAYS wear protective goggles when operating the unit to shield the eyes

from flying debris and detergents. Other protective equipment such as

rubber suits, gloves and respirators are advisable, especially when using

cleaning detergents. Use extreme caution when operating near children.

4. Stay alert-watch what you are doing. Do not operate the unit when fatigued

or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

5. NEVER squeeze the trigger unless securely braced. The thrust from the

water traveling through the nozzle may be powerful enough to cause the

operator to lose balance if unprepared. DO NOT overreach or stand on

unstable support. Wet surfaces can be slippery, wear protective foot gear

and keep good footing and balance at all times. NEVER trigger the gun while

on a ladder or roof.

6. Caution should be used when directing spray toward fragile materials such

as glass. Shattering could result in serious injury.

7. ALWAYS hold on firmly to the gun/wand assembly when starting and

operating the unit. Failure to do so can cause the wand to fall and whip

dangerously. NEVER operate the gun with the trigger wired in the open

position. To prevent accidental discharge, the trigger gun should be

securely locked when not in use.

8. Even after you shut off the unit, there is high pressure water left in the pump,

hose and gun until you release it by triggering the gun. Before removing

the spray nozzle or servicing the unit, ALWAYS shut off the unit and trigger

the gun to release trapped pressure.

INSTALLATION & PREPARATION

ATTIRE:

1. Proper attire is essential to your safety. It is advised to utilize whatever

means necessary to protect eyes, ears, and skin. Additional safety attire

(such as respiratory mask) may be required when using detergent cleaning

agents with this washer.

SET-UP:

1. This unit should only be placed on a level surface to ensure proper lubrication

for the water pump while operating. NEVER spray water directly on the unit!

2. Do not place unit in an area:

-where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks.

-where flammable gas vapors may be present.

3. Do not allow the unit to be exposed to rain, snow or freezing temperatures. If

any part of the unit becomes frozen: excessive pressure may build up in the

unit which could cause it to burst, resulting in possible serious injury to the

operator or bystanders.

4. Make sure the oil level is in the center of the sight glass. Pump oil level should

be checked before each use. If low, fill with SAE 30W Non-detergent oil. DO

NOT OVERFILL!

WARNING

RISK OF EXPLOSION!

DO NOT OPERATE UNIT IN AN

AREA WHERE FLAMMABLE GAS

VAPORS MAY BE PRESENT. AN

ELECTRIC SPARK MAY CAUSE

AN EXPLOSION.

RISK OF BURSTING!

DO NOT STORE / OPERATE UNIT

IN A FREEZING ENVIRONMENT.

WARNING

RISK OF INJECTION CAUSING

SEVERE INJURY!

NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE

NOZZLE ORIFICE UNLESS IT IS

DISCONNECTED FROM THE

GUN/WAND ASSEMBLY!

WHEN USING THE ADJUSTABLE

NOZZLE, NEVER ADJUST THE

SPRAY PATTERN WHILE THE

TRIGGER GUN IS OPEN!

NOZZLE REVIEW:

NOTE: Nozzle assembly should NOT be connected to the gun assembly at this

time.

1. Selection of high pressure can be achieved by turning the protective collar

clockwise as shown in Figure 1, left. While in the high pressure mode, water

is directed solely through the 15° spray nozzle creating a concentrated high

pressure "fan" spray.

2. Selection of low pressure detergent application can be achieved by turning the

collar counterclockwise as shown in Figure 2, left. Once the pressure is low

enough, the detergent injector on the pressure washer will draw detergent into

the system. As the collar is turned, a water/detergent mixture exits not only from

the spray nozzle, but also around the nozzle. This creates a "fan/cone"

combination spray pattern.

OMGEN224/021696/DCE

Nilfisk-Advance Select Spray 1500E Operator's Manual 11

INSTALLATION & PREPARATION

WATER SUPPLY:

1. Select a water supply hose which is a quality grade of garden hose

measuring at least 3/4" ID and no longer than 50 feet.

2 Check the water inlet strainer (14) to ensure it is clean and free of any

obstructions. Periodic cleaning of the water strainer will help prevent pump

problems. As a strainer becomes obstructed, it restricts proper flow of

water to the pump. This can result in cavitations which will cause premature

failure of pump packings and valves. Using a screw driver, remove the

screen, clean or replace with Nilfisk-Advance #56632999 if necessary.

3. Connect the hoses:

a. Connect one end of the water supply hose to the water inlet (15) of the

unit.

b. Connect the other end of the hose to your pressurized water supply.

c. Connect the high pressure discharge hose (23) to the water outlet (20)

of the unit.

4. Follow the incoming water requirements listed below:

a. Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 pounds per square

inch (PSI) and a maximum of 125 PSI. (A typical outdoor faucet

will generally supply this PSI if turned completely "ON")

b. Incoming GPM must be approximately one gallon more than the

outgoing GPM stated on the pressure washer nameplate. (You

can check GPM by timing how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon

container)

c. Incoming water temperature must not exceed 190°F/ 88°C. Excessive

pump damage may result if the water temperature exceeds this

acceptable level.

5. Never allow the unit to operate without the incoming water line attached and

the water supply turned all the way on.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRIMING THE PUMP:

1. It is essential to prime the pump on initial start-up and each time the water

supply is disconnected from the unit after initial use.

2. Lay the high pressure hose out to remove any loops. Water flow will constrict

the hose, creating tight loops if the hose is not straight.

3. Securely connect the gun assembly to the high pressure hose.

NOTE: The nozzle assembly should NOT be connected to the gun assembly at

this time. (See Nozzle Connection" pg. 11)

4. With the trigger gun locked in the "OFF" position, turn the water supply

completely on. Pointing the gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and

squeeze the trigger.

5. Low pressure water will begin flowing from the hose/gun assembly. This allows

the unit to prime and purge any air from the system. The unit is primed when

water flow is uninterrupted by air.

6. Once the unit is primed, release the trigger and lock the gun in the "OFF"

position. Securely connect the nozzle assy. (See "Nozzle Connection"

pg. 11)

WARNING

Nilfisk-Advance Select Spray 1500E Operator's Manual 15

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS:

1. Refer to "Detergent Cleaning Precautions" pg. 6 before working with

detergents. Be certain to wear protective safety attire as stated on pg. 10.

2. Prepare detergent solution according to label directions. Never pump

acids, alkaline, abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit.

3. Connect the detergent hose (21) to the unit as shown on page 8.

4. Immerse the strainer into the detergent solution to allow detergent to

siphon.

5. Be certain the water supply is completely turned "ON".

6. With the trigger gun locked in the "OFF" position, turn the collar at the end

of the wand counterclockwise for low pressure as shown in figure 2, right.

7. To apply solution, unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. In a few

moments a detergent/water mixture will exit the low pressure nozzle. Start

spraying the lower portion of the surface being cleaned and move up, using

long overlapping strokes. Applying from the bottom up helps avoid

streaking. Allow to soak briefly. (Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct

sunlight to minimize the chances of the detergent drying, which may result

in damaging surfaces) Be certain to rinse a small section at a time.

8. To rinse: lock the trigger gun in the "OFF" position, turn the collar at the

end of the wand clockwise. Unlock the trigger gun and spray. It will take

about 30 seconds to purge all detergent from the line. For best rinsing

results, start at the top and work down.

9. Siphon a gallon of water through the low pressure detergent injection

system after each use. This prevents the possibility of corrosion or

detergent residue causing mechanical problems during the next use.

SHUT-DOWN:

1. Move the On/Off switch to the "OFF" position to turn unit off.

2. Turn the water supply "OFF".

3. Pointing the gun in a safe direction, trigger gun momentarily to relieve

any trapped pressure.

4. Once pressure is relieved, disconnect the nozzle assembly.

ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE DETERGENT

16 Nilfisk-Advance Select Spray 1500E Operator's Manual

PUMP MAINTENANCE:

The pump oil must be changed after the first 25 hours of operation. Once the initial

oil change has been completed, it is recommended the oil be changed every 3

months or 250 hour intervals. If oil appears dirty or milky, changes may be required

at a greater frequency. Use SAE 30W Non-Detergent oil and fill only to the center

of the oil sight glass. DO NOT OVERFILL!

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE:

Water flow through the spray nozzle will erode the orifice, making it larger, resulting

in a pressure loss. Nozzles should be replaced whenever pressure is less than

85% of the maximulm. The frequency of replacement will depend upon such

variables as mineral content in the water and number of hours the nozzle is used.

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE

Nilfisk-Advance Select Spray 1500E Operator's Manual 17

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE

WINTERIZING:

1. For storage and transportation purposes in subfreezing ambient temperatures,

it will be necessary to winterize this unit. This unit must be protected to the

lowest incurred temperature for the following reasons:

a. If any part of the pumping system becomes frozen: excessive

pressure may build up in the unit which could cause the unit to burst

resulting in possible serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

b. The pumping system in this unit may be permanently damaged if

frozen. FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

If you must store your unit in an area where the temperature may fall below

32°F, you can protect your unit by following the procedure outlined below.

1. Gather the following items:

a. Two 5 gallon containers.

b. One gallon of antifreeze.(Nilfisk-Advance recommends and

environmentally safe antifreeze)

c. Water supply.

d. Three foot hose, 1/2-3/4 I.D. with a 3/4 inch male garden

hose fitting.

2. Procedure:

a. Shut off the unit and water supply.

b. Relieve system pressure by pointing the trigger gun in a safe

direction and squeezing the trigger until water flow ceases

to exit the nozzle.

c. Lock the trigger gun in an OFF position and remove the

nozzle.

d. In a 5 gallon container, mix the antifreeze and water according

to manufacturer's recommendations for the temperature

you are winterizing to.

NOTE: Proper winterizing is based on the recommended manufacture's instructions

listed on the "Protection Chart" shown on the back label of most antifreeze

containers.

e. Remove the water supply hose from the unit and attach the

3 foot hose securely to the inlet connection. Submerge the

opposite end into the antifreeze solution.

f. Point the wand into the empty container and start the unit.

g. Trigger the gun until the antifreeze begins to exit the wand.

Release the trigger for 3 seconds, then trigger the gun for 3

seconds. Continue cycling the gun several times until all the

antifreeze mixture is siphoned from the container.

h. Detach the 3 foot hose from the unit and drain any excess

antifreeze back into the 5 gallon container.

i. Disconnect the hose/gun/wand assembly from the unit and

drain any excess antifreeze back into the 5 gallon container.

j. Store the hose, gun and wand with the unit in a safe area.

k. Store antifreeze solution for next use or dispose of according

to state EPA laws.

3. Optional Procedure:

a. Shut the unit off.

b. Relieve system pressure by pointing the trigger gun in a safe

direction and squeezing the trigger until water flow ceases

to exit the nozzle.

c. Disconnect and drain the hose, gun and wand.

d. Start the unit and allow it to run until all the water exits the

unit. Once the water has stopped flowing from the unit, turn

the unit off.

NOTE: When using this procedure, caution should be used as ice

chips can form from drops of water which could cause the

unit to burst if starting before completely thawed.

STARTING UNIT AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE:

1. BE CERTAIN the unit is NOT plugged into the power source.

2. Prior to restarting the unit, thaw out any possible ice from the wand, gun, hose

and unit.

3. After following all "PREPARATION" instructions, start the unit momentarily

and immediately turn "OFF" to ensure all parts are lubricated before operation.
