If you want a fixed adjustment of a lower max. dosing than step 5 (approx. 7%) this can be achieved in the
following way:
Adjustment of max. dosage:
1.
Turn knob to step 0 (on a level with hose socket)
2.
Dismount cover by pressing a flat screwdriver (approx. 3 mm) down into one of the two
grooves, enabling the cover to be tipped off.
3.
Unscrew the screw by Parker’s screwdriver.
4.
Remove knob.
5.
Lift up lock washer and turn it until the required max. dosage is now on a level with the
arrow (i.e. step 3).
6.
Remount the knob - still adjusted to step 0.
7.
Screw in the screw until you feel a slight resistance.
8.
Press home the cover over the knob.
For foam cleaning you will have to mount the special foam injector between the high pressure washer
and the high pressure hose. Insert the suction hose of the injector into the foam detergent. Mount foam
lance on spray handle and now you are ready for foam application. Upon the application
dismount the
foam injector
and replace the foam lance by a spray lance and you are ready for cleaning.

Working methods
Your high pressure washer has been developed for cleaning according to the so-called „2-step method“.
STEP 1
Application of detergent
STEP 2
High pressure cleaning
In practice the working process is laid down in accordance with the actual job, but as a starting point the
following working method can be described for a job:
1.
Apply detergent under low pressure.
The dosage is chosen according to the job, which is to be
carried out, and the adjustment is made on the dosing unit.
2.
Await acting time
. Let the detergent act on the dirt/surface for a short time prior to pressure clean-
ing - usually a few minutes.
3.
High pressure cleaning
. Clean all surfaces under high pressure.
4.
Rinse afterwards, if necessary
. To make sure that residual impurities are removed from the surface.
In connection with the working process the optimum cleaning will be reached by following these 3 pieces
of advice:
Advice no. 1
When using a detergent, always apply it on a dry surface. If the surface is rinsed with water at first, it
may be difficult for it to absorb the detergent, and the result is a reduced effect of the detergent.
Advice no. 2
When applying a detergent on large vertical surfaces (i.e. the sides of a truck) work from below and
upwards. Thus you will avoid detergent running off the surface through grooves and dark streaks appe-
aring on the surface whilst cleaning.
Advice no. 3
During the high pressure cleaning you should work so that the high pressure water does not run over
the surface which has not been cleaned yet. This is to ensure that there is sufficient detergent on the
surface when the high pressure water hits the surface.
For certain cleaning tasks it is an advantage if you apply detergents under high pressure - i.e. for the
dewaxing of cars.
