Advice needed - not 'Elf and Safety

You could use a large "crocodile clip" you might have to pinch one of the jaw ends to get it through the trigger guard. But you'd still have the facility for quick release if need be.

 

Just a thought.. how about a clamp like one of these
Once the initial effort to fit it is done should be easy enough.


I have bought a bag full of different sizes and they available in loads of places.
May be worth looking at.

 

That looks like a better idea than a crocodile clip, but the crocodile does have the advantage that you can bend the jaws to fit. However with plastic I guess it is possible to trim the jaws down if necessary.

 

There is another alternative. A neighbour now sadly no longer with us, was a very practical ex-Liverpool Docks crane driver.

While I was blasting away with my Karcher a couple of times a year, he'd regularly treat his patio and drive with a mild solution of bleach in a garden pump pressure sprayer.
It was always spotless!

 

This is true, but with a pressure sprayer the weak bleach solution evaporates and there's no run off. Neither his lawn nor his planting suffered.

 

On holiday a couple of years ago a friend broke the trigger on his sea scooter leaving only a tiny stub. I fixed it by making a loop in a plastic cable tie so that it looped around the steering handle and could be slipped up and over the stub thus holding it down. In many ways this was an improvement on the original as it didn't require constant pressure on the trigger to keep the scooter running.
I used a second cable tie to keep the 'trigger tie' from slipping up the steering handle.
He was still using my lash-up repair this summer!

 

I have a similar problem with the deadman's handle on my mowers. One of them now has a Velcro strap holding the handle, and the other a simple cable tie.

 

Just be careful, if it's cold and your hands get a bit numb, it's possible that you may drop the lance, they can give you a nasty burn on any part of the body the jet hits.
