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 experi-
ence of specifi c cleaning tasks. Accessories and deter-
gents, 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 supplementary effect that cuts through dirt (es-
pecially by car washing).

11
5.2 Typical fi elds of application
Below you will fi nd a description of a lot of cleaning tasks which can be solved by a pres-
sure washer from Gerni in association with accessories and detergents.
Task
Accessories ‘Click
& Clean’
Cleaning method
Car
Car nozzle,
auto brush,
underchassis nozzle,
Foam sprayer,
Neutral car wash
1. Apply neutral car wash with the foam sprayer. Always start from
the bottom and work upwards. Let neutral car wash act for at
least 5 min.
2. Wash the car with the car nozzle, which has been optimized for
quick and gentle cleaning of enamelled surfaces (the jet is wider
and not so sharp). Start at the front of the car and work back-
wards to avoid water from penetrating by the door mouldings.
3. Use the brush for removal of traffi c fi lm which is not removed by the
nozzle. If the car is very dirty, apply neutral car wash again.
4. Attach the undercarriage nozzle and clean undercarriage and
wheel arches.
5. Remove water from the surface of the car with the squeegee on
the car brush. Make sure that all grains of sand etc. have been
removed before using the squeegee. Wipe with a wash leather
where the squeegee cannot reach.
Rims, alu-
minium
Rim brush,
auto nozzle,
atomizer,
alloy cleaning agent
Apply alloy cleaning agent with an automizer. Let it act for approx.
5 min. and wash with the rim brush. For steel rims, use neutral car
wash. Use the foam sprayer and wash with rim brush.
Be careful! The high pressure jet may damage the tyres.
Flag-
stones,
concrete
fl oors
and other
hard sur-
faces
Powerspeed
®
nozzle,
neutral detergent,
Patio Cleaner
Wash towards outlets or the like. On surfaces with moss or al-
gae you may start by applying Neutral detergent with the foam
sprayer. Wash before the soap dries. Another more effective and
quicker method is to use the Patio Cleaner. Thus you will also
avoid splashes.
Garden
furniture,
wood
Wood Cleaner
Garden brush
Apply Wood Cleaner and wash before the soap dries.
NOTE: Use the garden brush to clean off the dirt.
Brick-
work,
Wood
work
Powerspeed
®
nozzle,
neutral detergent,
Patio Cleaner
Same method as for fl agstones, but be careful - bad joints and
wood may be damaged by high pressure. You may choose only
to use the Tornado
®
nozzle. Adjust the distance (pressure) to the
quality of the joints and the wood. Patio Cleaner can also be used
on vertical surfaces.
Gutter
Underchassis spray
lance
Wash the gutter with the nozzle. Always wash towards
downpipes. Beware not to spray under the roofi ng.
Cleaning
of drain
pipes,
outlets,
down
pipes etc.
Tube cleaner
Push the tube cleaner approx. ½ m (to mark) into a tube or drain
and activate the trigger of the spray handle. The nozzle opening
turning backwards will pull the cleaner through the tube. The
nozzle will break down the „plug“ and fl ush the dirt backwards.
Rust,
paint
Water/sandblasting
equipment
Mount the water/sand blasting equipment and rust and paint
is effi ciently and quickly removed. Beware not to damage the sur-
face to be sandblasted.
Green-
house
Tornado
®
PR nozzle
brush, neutral de-
tergent
Wash with high pressure and maybe a brush. You may use neutral
detergent to remove moss and algae.
Garden
tools,
lawn
mower
Tornado
®
PR nozzle,
Powerspeed
®
nozzle, multiangle
adaptor, degreaser
Rinse the worst dirt off with the nozzle. Apply degreaser with
the foam sprayer and let it act for approx. 5 min. Wash with the
nozzle. You may use the multiangle adaptor for hard to get at
areas to avoid splashing.

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-mounting
it.
The inlet fi lter must always
be fi tted inside the water
inlet pipe to fi lter out sand,
limestone and other impuri-
ties, 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 noz-
zle causes a pump pressure
which is too high. This is
why cleaning is required
immediately.
1. Stop the machine and
disconnect the nozzle.
2. Clean the nozzle.
IMPOR-
TANT:
The cleaning tool
(11) should only be used
