Frequently Asked Questions - BW17 BLACK & DECKER

Can I use the pressure washer with flammable liquids?

No. Never use flammable or toxic liquids as this poses an explosion and poisoning hazard.

What should I do if the pump does not reach working pressure?

Check for a worn nozzle, clogged water filter, or insufficient water supply. Clean or replace parts as needed. Also ensure the adjustable nozzle is set correctly.

Can I direct the water jet at people or animals?

No. Never spray people, animals, electrical equipment, or the machine itself. This can cause injury or electric shock.

How do I connect the pressure washer to the water supply?

Connect to a mains water supply using a reinforced hose (min. ∅13 mm). If connecting to drinking water, a backflow preventer valve must be installed. The intake water pressure should be below 10 bar.

What type of detergent can I use?

Only use biodegradable detergents that do not corrode the hose or cable. Avoid flammable or abrasive chemicals. Refer to the detergent kit instructions.

How do I store the pressure washer for winter?

Drain all water, clean the detergent tank, and apply non-corrosive, non-toxic antifreeze. Lubricate o-rings with grease (if supplied). Store in a dry, frost-free place.

What does the TSS feature do?

The Total Stop System (TSS) automatically shuts off the motor when the gun trigger is released, saving energy and reducing wear. It restarts when the trigger is pressed again.

Why is the motor buzzing but not starting?

This may be due to low voltage, a long extension cord, or the pump being seized after long storage. Check voltage, use a suitable extension, or unjam the motor via the rear hole (if available).

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, but it must be rated for outdoor use (IPX5) and have a cross-section adequate for the length. Keep the connection dry and off the ground. A cord reel is recommended.

How do I clean the nozzle?

Disconnect the lance from the nozzle, then use the nozzle cleaning tool (included) to remove dirt from the nozzle hole. Rinse with clean water.

If the water temperature exceeds the temperature set by the manufacturer, the thermostat valve discharges the hot water and draws in an amount of cold water equal to the amount of water discharged, until the correct temperature is restored.

▶ Safety catch (20): Prevents accidental spraying of water
▶ Overload cutout: stops the appliance in case of overload.

INSTALLATION (Fig. B) ASSEMBLY

⚠ Caution! All installation and assembly operations must be performed with the appliance disconnected from the mains power supply.

The assembly sequence is illustrated in Fig. B.

Assembling the rotating nozzle

The rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power. Use of the rotating nozzle may cause of reduction in pressure of 25% compared to the pressure obtained with the adjustable nozzle. However, the rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power due to the rotation of the water jet.

Electrical connection

Caution! Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency (V/Hz) correspond to those on the appliance data plate (Fig. B8).

The appliance should only be connected to a mains power supply equipped with an adequate earth connection and a differential security breaker (30mA) to cut off the electricity supply in the instance of a short circuit.

Use of extension cables: Use cables featuring "IPX5" protection level. The cross-section of the extension cable should be proportionate to its length; the longer it is, the greater its cross-section should be.

Water supply connection

⚠ Caution! Only clean or filtered water should be used for intake. The delivery of the water intake tap should be equal to that of pump capacity. Place the appliance as close to the water supply system as possible.

Connection points:

● Water outlet (OUTLET)
■ Water inlet with filter (INLET)

Connection to the mains water supply

The appliance can be connected directly to the mains drinking water supply only if the supply hose is fitted with a backflow preventer valve as per current regulations in force. Make sure that the hose is at least ∅ 13mm and that it is reinforced.

ADJUSTMENT INFORMATION (Fig. C)

▶ Adjusting the spray nozzle: Water flow is adjusted by regulating the nozzle (4).
▶ Adjusting the detergent: To deliver detergent at the correct pressure, set the nozzle (4) (where fitted) on “” fit the detergent kit (9) as shown.
▶ Adjusting the pressur: The regulator is used to adjust the working pressure. The pressure is shown on the pressure gauge (where fitted).

USE OF THE APPLIANCE (Fig. D) CONTROLS

Starter device (21)

Set the starter switch on (ON/I) to:
a) start the motor (in models without TSS device); b) set the motor ready to start (in models with TSS device). If there is a pilot light on the starter device, it should light up. Set the starter device switch on (OFF/0) to stop the appliance. If there is a pilot light on the starter device, it should go out.

▶ Water jet control lever (19).

⚠ Warning! - Danger!

During operation the appliance must be positioned as shown in Fig. D. on a firm, stable surface.

Start-up (Fig D)

1. Turn on the water supply tap fully.
2. Release the safety catch (20).
3. Depress the gun trigger for a few seconds and start up the appliance using the starter device (ON/I).

⚠ Warning! - Danger!

Before starting up the appliance check that it is receiving water correctly; use of the appliance without water will damage it. Do not cover the ventilation grilles when the appliance is in use.

TSS models - In TSS models

(with automatic delivery flow cut-off system):

▶ when the gun trigger is released the dynamic pressure automatically cuts out the motor;
▶ when the gun trigger is depressed the automatic drop in pressure starts the motor and the pressure is restored after a very slight delay;
▶ if the TSS is to function correctly, all gun trigger releasing and depressing operations must be at least 4-5 seconds apart.

To prevent damage to the appliance, do not allow it to operate dry and check that it is properly supplied with water. For models without TSS, to prevent damage to the appliance due to an increase in water temperature, do not cut off the jet of water for more than 5 minutes with the appliance running. Beware of kickback force when opening the trigger gun.

Stopping the appliance

1. Set the starter device switch on (OFF/0).
2. Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual pressure inside the hoses.
3. Engage the gun safety catch (20).

Restarting

1. Release the safety catch (20).
2. Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual air inside the hoses.
3. Set the starter device on (ON/I).

Storage

1. Switch the appliance off (OFF/0).
2. Remove the plug from the socket.
3. Turn off the water supply tap.
4. Discharge the residual pressure from the gun until all the water has come out of the nozzle.
5. Drain and wash out the detergent tank at the end of the working session. To wash out the tank, use clean water instead of the detergent.
6. Engage the gun safety catch (20).

Recommended cleaning procedure

Dissolve dirt by applying the detergent mixed with water to the surface while still dry.

When dealing with vertical surfaces work from the bottom upwards. Leave the detergent to act for 1-2 minute but do not allow the surface to dry. Starting from the bottom, use the high pressure jet at a minimum distance of 30 cm. Do not allow the rinse water to run onto unwashed surfaces. In some cases, scrubbing with brushes is needed to remove dirt. High pressure is not always the best solution for good cleaning results, since it may damage some surfaces. The finest adjustable nozzle jet setting or the rotating nozzle should not be used on delicate or painted parts, or on pressurised components (e.g. tyres, inflation valves, etc.). Effective cleaning depends on both the pressure and volume of the water used, to the same degree.

MAINTENANCE (Fig. E)

Any maintenance operations not covered by this chapter should be carried out by an Authorized Sales and Service Centre.

▲ Important! To ensure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified organizations, always using identical replacement parts. Unit contains no user service able parts inside.

Caution! Always disconnect the plug from the power socket before carrying out any work on the appliance.

Cleaning the nozzle

1. Disconnect the lance from the nozzle.
2. Remove any dirt deposits from the nozzle hole using the tool (10).

Cleaning the filter

Inspect the intake filter (7) and detergent filter (if fitted) before each use, and clean in accordance with the instructions if necessary.

Unjamming the motor (On models with this feature)

In case of lengthy stoppages, limescale sediments may cause the motor to seize. To unjam the motor, turn the drive shaft with a tool.

End-of-season storage

Treat the appliance with non-corrosive, non-toxic antifreeze and lubricate the o-rings using the lubricating grease tube (where supplied) as shown before storing it away for winter. Put the appliance in a dry place, protected from frost.

Problem Possible Causes Solution

Pump does not reach working pressure	Nozzle worn Replace nozzle
	Water filter fouled Clean filter (7) (Fig. E)
	Insufficient water supply Turn on water supply tap fully
	Air being sucked into system Check tightness of hose fittings
	Air in pump	Switch off the appliance and keep depressing and releasing the gun trigger until the water comes out in a steady flow. Switch the appliance back on again.
	Adjustable nozzle not positioned correctly	Set nozzle (4) (+) setting (Fig. C)
	Thermostatic valve tripped	Wait for correct water temperature to be restored
	Water being sucked from an open container from a height of more than 0.5 m.	Reduce the suction height.
Pump pressure drops during suddenly use	Water being sucked from an external tank Connect appliance to the mains water supply
	Inlet water too hot Reduce temperature
	Nozzle clogged Clean nozzle (Fig. E)
	Inlet filter (7) fouled	Clean filter (7) (Fig. E)
Motor “buzzes” but fails to start	Power supply voltage too low	Check that the voltage of the mains power supply line is the same as that on the plate (Fig. B)
	Voltage drop due use of extension cable Check characteristics of extension cable
	Appliance not used for a long period of time	Contact your nearest Authorised Service Centre
	Problems with TSS device Contact your nearest Authorised Service Centre
Motor fails to start	No electrical power	Check that the plug is firmly in the socket and that the mains voltage supply is present (*)
