Hello everyone, I'm new here, having just bought a Honda GP200 and Comet ADX 320 pump . There are the usual instructions for the engine, but little else to tell me how to set the pump up. I noticed that unlike my previous machine there is no outflow nozzle to allow water to exit if the trigger is off, and the engine idling. I presume you could screw one into the port labelled 'THERM' ? I'm thinking without one I would need to switch the engine off when not actively washing, or the water will overheat?
Also, what revs should I run the engine at for best performance? My last washer (Chinese) seemed to do best at high revs and the pressure valve turned to high, but to be honest with a nice new machine I'd like to do everything right, and look after it.. Should it be started on low pressure, and then increased?
I'm using it around the farm, so will be drawing water from rainwater tanks in the barn, these are only 4m above ground, but my last machine worked o.k that way- will this pump draw water also? My mains water pressure is only 1 bar too.
Sorry to come on here with so many questions, but the machine was part of a trade for a baler, and all the paperwork couldn't be found. Thanks in advance,Richard
