extension lead, or too light a cable, results in a
voltage drop and this can lead to a burned out
motor. Never share a plug with other machines.
SINGLE PHASING
When three-phase power is being used, ensure
that all three phases are functioning. If the
supply "drops a phase" the motor will almost
certainly burn out. This can be caused by a
phase becoming disconnected in the motor, the
starter, the plug or the plug switch, or even by a
corroded switch.
CLEANING
It is important to keep equipment clean. Do not
clean the machines with the high pressure
water. The motors and starters are rated to IP54
standard of sealing. This means that the
components can be accidentally splashed with
water without harm, not blasted with high
pressure water jets.
PHYSICAL PRECAUTIONS
Machines which work at high pressure cause
severe damage to persons. Never indulge in
horseplay when operating high pressure
cleaners.
DRIVES
For direct drive applications with an electric
motor, it is advisable to use proper flexible
coupling. When using pulleys, make sure that
they are properly aligned and provide for
adequate safety protection.

MOTOR ROTATION
Motor rotation direction is irrelevant as Hawk
units can operate in either a clockwise or
anticlockwise rotation direction.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE
It is always easy to blame the machine for failing
to work. However, it is most usual that poor care
results in the failure. Regular checks on the
condition of equipment pays dividends.
PUMP SPECIFICATIONS
The pump must not exceed the rated speed and
pressure for the specific model used.
OIL
The pump must be installed horizontal to its
base for it to receive optimum lubrication.
Check the oil level frequently. The first oil
change must be carried out within the first 30
hrs. of working. Change the oil every 300
working hours, thereafter, or at least once a
year. It is advisable to use Hawk non-foaming
oil.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FREEZING
The machine should not be stored where there
is a risk of the water in the head freezing.
Water inlet filter. The water inlet filter must be
checked and cleaned daily in order to avoid
cl og gi ng. A c le an fi lt er as su re s g oo d
performance of the machine.
NOZZLE
Nozzles make the pressure, not the pump or the
pressure regulating valve. If the orifice is too
large, the total water delivered by the pump will
pass through at a low pressure. Do not clean a
blocked nozzle with wire or sharp metal objects.
There is a special stiff-bristle brush available for
this job.
LEAKS
Any leaks in the unloader, hose or gun will
cause a repetitive pulsing of the unloader. This
causes undue wear on all the components of
the machine, and will shorten their life.
WATER DELIVERY
Do not run the pump dry. This will cause the
packings to fail prematurely and will void your
warranty. Make certain that the inlet filter is
clean.
HEADER TANKS
If the unit has been fitted with a header tank, this
is to try to prevent the pump being starved of
water and also to allow by-pass water to keep
cool. A low level float-switch can be fitted to
guard against the water reaching a dangerous
low level in the event of an insufficient source.
This switch should never be allowed to control
the starter. It is only fitted as a safety device.
PLUMBING
The INLET piping to your pump must be sized
to the pump volume. The plumbing diameter
should be greater than the size of the port of the
pump. Use as few restrictions (elbow, tees,
reducers, etc.) as possible. Any joint in the inlet
plumbing must be tightly sealed with teflon tape
or similar product to avoid air leaks and
cavitation. There should be no kinks in the inlet
hose or signs of damage. If no header tank is
fitted, water can be supplied from the mains, or
can be sucked from a container.
If air is allowed to enter the pump, or the inlet
feed water is restricted, the pump will cavitate.
Most of the problems associated with positive
displacement pumps are caused by water
starvation or entrained air. Cavitation causes
valve plugs to burst.
The OUTLET plumbing must be suitable to
withstand the working pressure of the pump.
Undersized plumbing can result in low
discharge pressure.
The BY-PASS plumbing must also not be
restricted. It can be plumbed back into the
header tank, or fed back to the head of the pump
if the supply of water is from the mains.
POWER SUPPLY
If the power supply is too low, the starter
overload protector will trip. However, it is not
advisable to rely entirely on the overload
protector. Check the temperature of the motor
regularly during operation. If it feels too hot, get
the advise of a qualified electrician. Too long an
