AR Blue Clean 14 Series petrol pressure washer

Description

A petrol pressure washer for shifting heavy, caked dirt from large areas away from a power supply. The 1450 and 1475 are built for continual heavy work on farms, in yards and in workshops; the 1445 is for semi-professional and professional use.

The 1445 has a Rato engine and gives 220 bar and 660 L/h, with an 8 m hose. The 1450 has a Honda GP200H engine and a triplex pump with ceramic pistons, for 220 bar and 720 L/h, with a 10 m hose. The 1475 has a Loncin G390F engine with an automatic speed reducer, a triplex ceramic piston pump and pneumatic tyres, for 280 bar and 960 L/h, with a 10 m hose. Pressure is adjustable on all three. An automatic safety valve releases pump pressure, and a thermal valve lets water out before it gets hot enough to damage the pump.

Feed it with a reinforced hose at least 13 mm across and no more than 25 m long. On a mains supply, fit a backflow preventer (EN 12729 type BA). It can also draw from a tank up to 0.5 m below the pump. Never run it without water.

It comes partly assembled in a box. Swap the red caps on the oil intakes for the pressure-release caps supplied, check the engine oil, and fill with unleaded petrol before starting.

Don't point the jet at people or animals, and keep them at least 15 m away. Grip the gun firmly before you pull the trigger to take the recoil, and never jam the trigger on. Exhaust fumes are poisonous: indoors, make sure there's good ventilation, and never block the exhaust. Don't touch or lean over the exhaust, as it gets hot. Hold the jet at least 30 cm from what you're cleaning, and never point it straight at a tyre.
