5 Working

methods

5.1 General

Effi cient high presure cleaning is achieved by following a few guide-
lines, combined with your own personal experience of specifi c
cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly cho-
sen, can increase the effi ciency of your pressure washer. Here is
some basic information about cleaning.

5.1.1 Detergent and foam

Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the
chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are
applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order
to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higher
concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for
several minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface be-
ing cleaned.

Note:

It is important that the detergents do not dry up.

Otherwise the surface that has to be cleaned can be da maged.

5.1.2 Mechanical effect

In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical
effect may be required. Special wash brushes offer this supplemen-
tary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car washing).

6 After using your pressure washer

6.1 Storing the washer

The machine should be sto-
red in a frost-free room!

Pump, hose and accessories
should always be emptied of
water prior to storing as follows:

1. Stop the machine (press the

start/stop switch “

” (1) and

detach water hose and ac-
cessory.

2. Restart the machine and

activate the trigger. Let the
machine run until no more
water runs through the spray
gun.

3. Stop the machine, unplug

and wind up hose and cable.

4. Place spray handle, nozzles

and other accessories in the
holders of the machine.

Should the machine by mistake
be frozen, it will be necessary
to check it for damage.

NEVER START-UP A FROZEN
MACHINE

Frost damages are not
covered by the guarantee!

WARNING!

Always disconnect

the electrical plug from the
socket prior to maintenance or
cleaning.

To ensure a long and problem
free working life, please take
the following advice:

Wash out water hose, high

pressure hose, spray lance
and accessories before
mounting.

Clean the connectors of dust

and sand. Make sure that
no sand or dirt is blocking
the movement of the button
on the Click & Clean spray
lance.

Rinse the detergent spraying

attachment after use.

Clean the nozzles.

Any repair should always be
made in an authorized work-
shop with original spare parts.

7 Maintenance

Super 130.1

6.3 Storage of accessories

The standard accessories
(spray gun/spray lance (a),
nozzles (b) foam sprayer (c))
can be stored on the pressure
washer.

The nozzle cleaning tool (d)
and a Click & Clean brush
(e) can also be stored on the
product.

6.2 Winding up of electric

cable and high pressure
hose

To avoid accidents, the electric
cable and the high pressure
hose should always be wound
carefully up.

1. Wind up the electric cable on

the appropriate hooks.

The high pressure washer
comes in two models: A) with
hook for storage of high pres-
sure hose (14) - B) with a hose
reel (13).

7.1 Cleaning of water inlet

fi lter

Clean the water inlet fi lter
regularly once a month or more
frequently according to use.
Carefully loosen the fi lter with a
pair of pliers and clean it. Check
that it is intact before re-mount-
ing it.

The inlet fi lter must always be
fi tted inside the water inlet pipe
to fi lter out sand, limestone and
other impurities, as they will
damage the pump valves.

CAUTION:

Failure to fi t the fi lter

will invalidate the guarantee.

7.2 Cleaning of nozzle

A clogging up in the nozzle
causes a pump pressure which
is too high. This is why cleaning
is required immediately.

1. Stop the machine and dis-

connect the nozzle.

2. Clean the nozzle.

IMPOR-

TANT:

The cleaning tool (11)

should only be used when
the nozzle is detached!

3. Flush the nozzle backwards

with water.

7.3 Cleaning of machine

vents

The machine should be kept
clean so as to let cooling air
pass freely through the ma-
chine vents.

7.4 Greasing of couplings

To ensure an easy connec-
tion and that o-rings do not dry
up, the couplings should be
greased regularly.
