5 Fields of application and working
methods
5.1 General
Effi cient high presure cleaning is achieved by following a few
guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of spe-
cifi c cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly
chosen, 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 being 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 supple-
mentary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car washing).
11
6 After using your pressure washer
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
up carefully.
1. Wind up the electric cable on
the appropriate hooks. Built
in clip ensures that the cable
will not unwind.
The lower hook can be
turned to release the electric
cable.
2. Wind the high pressure hose
up on the hose reel.
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 (turn the
start/stop switch (1) to posi-
tion “
O
” and detach water
hose and accessory.
2. Restart the machine and
activate the trigger. Let the
machine run until no more
water runs through the spray
handle.
3. Stop the machine and un-
plug. Wind the electric cable
round the hooks placed on
the side of the machine.
4. Separate spray handle and
high pressure hose.
5. Coil the high pressure hose
up on the hose reel.
6. Place spray handle, nozzles
and other ac ces so ries 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!
6.3 Storage of accessories
The standard accessories
(spray handle, spray lance,
nozzles and nozzle cleaning
tool) can be stored on the pres-
sure washer.
12
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 off water hose, high
pressure hose, spray lance
and accessories before
mounting.
Clean the connectors of dust
and sand.
Clean the nozzles.
Any repair should always be
made in an authorized work-
shop with original spare parts.
7 Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning of water inlet
fi lter
Clean the water inlet fi lter regu-
larly once a month or more fre-
quently according to use. Care-
fully loosen the fi lter with a pair
of pliers and clean it. Check that
it is intact before re-mounting 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
Debris in the nozzle results
in reduced water fl ow and ex-
cessive pressure. It should be
cleaned immediately.
1. Stop the machine and dis-
connect the nozzle.
2. Clean the nozzle.
IMPOR-
TANT:
The cleaning tool (10)
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 easy connection and
that o-rings do not dry up, the
couplings should be greased
regularly.
