Intended use

Cleaning of: Machines, vehicles,buildings, tools, facades, terraces,garden tools, etc..

* Engine cleaning is only to beperformed in areas provided withoil separator.

* Heed appropriate safetyregulations for use at petrolstations or in other hazardousenvironments.

Working with high-pressurenozzleSpray angle is crucial to efficiency ofhigh-pressure jet.Use is normally made of 25°fan jetnozzle (included).

Recommended nozzles, available asaccessories– For stubborn dirt 0°full jet nozzle

– For delicate surfaces and slightcontamination 40°fan jet nozzle

– For thick layers of stubborn dirt dirtblaster

– Nozzle with variable spray angle,for adaptation to various cleaningtasks variable-angle nozzle


Cleaning

* Adjust the temperature andcleaning agent concentration forthe surface to be cleaned

* To prevent damaging it by a toohigh pressure always direct theinitial high pressure jet onto theobject to be cleaned from adistance .

Recommended cleaning methodLoosen up dirt:Spray on cleaning agent sparinglyand allow to react for 1...5 min(do not allow to dry on).Remove dirt:Spray off loosened-up dirt with high-pressure jet.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Safety features

* Pressure switchThe pressure switch shuts off theunit when the handgun is closed andcauses it to cut in again when thehandgun is opened.

* Safety valveThe safety valve opens quickly witheach closing of the handgun orwhen the overflow valve or thepressure switch is defective. Thenthe out-flowing water escapes. Thesafety valve is set at the factory andsealed. Adjustment can only bemade by After-Sales Service.

* Low water protectionThe low water protection stops theburner being switched on in theevent of a lack of water. A strainerstops the protection featurebecoming dirty and requires regularcleaning.

* Motor thermal contactThe motor thermal contact interruptsthe electrical circuit when the motoris overloaded.

Guidelines for liquid sprayingequipment* The accident prevention

instructions (VBG 87) Workingwith Jet Stream Equipment willapply. In accordance with theseguidelines, high-pressure sprayingequipment must be checked atleast every 12 months by anexpert and the results of theinspection recorded in writing.

Order governing boilers* Test pressure and design of unit

comply with Order governingboilers as per TRD. The watercontent of the heating coil is lessthan 10 litres. The boiler section ofthe unit is thus not subject toinstallation regulations. Localbuilding regulations are to beheeded.
