• do not lock the function lever on the spray gun during service;
• hold the spray gun and semi-lance firmly since the water jet un-
der high pressure generates a considerable reaction force;
• do not use the machine where rain can fall on it or in very damp
environments;
• do not lean any object on the machine during operational activity;
• position the machine on a flat surface and prevent unwanted
handling using appropriate lock devices;
• continuously supply the machine with clean water; do not supply
the machine with salted water or potentially dangerous (explo-
sive, toxic or inflammable) liquids;
• avoid leaving the machine exposed to very low temperatures
where there is a risk of freezing;
• use diesel oil for autotraction only;
• do not leave materials that are easily inflammable near the pres-
sure cleaner;
• use the pressure cleaner in the open or in premises that are ade-
quately ventilated, or make sure exhaust gases are conveyed to
the exterior;
• do not touch the shaft when the pressure cleaner is being used;
• do not block the exit of exhaust gases by placing any objects on
the shaft;
• do not use the pressure cleaner when there are strong winds;
• at the end of all operational activity, turn off the machine using
the switch;
• connect the high pressure cleaner to the water mains using rein-
forced rubber pipes with an adequate section and checking junc-
tion seals;
• wash tyres and their valves at a distance greater than 30 cm, to
prevent the high pressure jet from damaging them (the same is
indicated by the tyre changing colour);
• only use detergents declared to be appropriate for high pressure
cleaners.
Attention
Repairs should only be carried out by specialised person-
nel. Always contact one of our technical assistance cen-
tres. Failure to respect the above absolves the manufac-
turer of any liability and constitutes negligent use of the
product.
6. OPERATING THE HIGH PRESSURE CLEANER
MACHINE ASSEMBLY
Also check that the filter mounted in the water input junction is
clean (see Fig. 8).
Should you wish to carry out washing using hot water, you must
introduce diesel oil into the tank (see Fig. 4); the maximum capacity of
the tank is 35 litres.
Attention
Never operate the pump dry; it is highly likely this will
damage the pump.
Attention
Avoid introducing water or any other impurity inside the
tank.
Attention
Use only oil for auto-traction; the use of other fuel (for
instance petrol) can cause explosion or damages on the
same cleaner.
Should you wish to carry out washing using detergent, after
choosing, from the range of products available, the one that is most
suitable for the type of washing you wish to carry out, dilute the deter-
gent with water, in accordance with recommended prescriptions, and
introduce the mixture into the detergent tank (see Fig. 4); the maximum
capacity is 3 litres.
Attention
We recommend using only detergents specifically de-
signed for high pressure cleaners; contact your retailer
for advice concerning such products.
Attention
We recommend not using an excessive amount of deter-
gent in order to protect the environment; respect the
doses set out on the detergent package.
ACCESSORIES ASSEMBLY
Accessories are supplied as follows (see Fig. 4):
• the high pressure pipe, already connected to the automatic spray
gun and the fixed semi-lance;
• the lance terminal, already prepared with the water nozzle to be
used and with an adjustable nozzle holder head;
• (if requested) the manual hose reel, disassembled: the instruc-
tions are enclosed inside the packaging;
• (if requested) the device for hydrosanding: see paragraph “7” for
instructions.
Connect the H.P. pipe, or the linking pipe to hose reel, to the high
pressure water outlet fitting union on the high pressure cleaner (rapid
screw connection).

CONNECTION TO THE WATER MAINS
Using the plastic rubber pipe junction already screwed to the water
inlet pipe, it is necessary to connect a rubber pipe with an internal di-
ameter equal to 19 mm.
Correct functioning of the high pressure cleaner is obtained if the
supply pressure is at least 1,5-2 bar: with lower pressures, the quantity
of water supplied may not be sufficient. The flow rate for the supply
water must be at least equal to the of the machine nominal flow rate.
The maximum temperature for the supply water must not exceed
40°C; higher temperatures can damage the pump seal gaskets.
Attention
Any solid particles or air bubbles could clog the nozzle or
obstruct correct functioning. To avoid the same, we rec-
ommend carrying out an initial start-up of the high pres-
sure cleaner without the lance, allowing the water to ex-
it for a few seconds.
Then screw the lance on the fixed semi-lance.
CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICITY MAINS
The machine must be connected to an electricity system in compli-
ance with current regulations. Electricity specifications are those listed
in the technical data table and on the rating plate, which must match
those of the electricity mains supply. Before inserting the electricity
plug in the socket, it is essential to ensure that the machine switch is in
the “OFF” position.
All warnings set out in paragraph “5” remain valid, with failure to
respect the same constituting cancellation of any warranty rights and
absolving the manufacturer of any liability.
Where it is necessary to transform a machine from 400V triphase
to 230V triphase you have to (Except Susette 200/15):
• replace the contactor, the main switch, the control box and the
control lamp;
• connect the bars of the motor terminal board as indicated in the
annexed wiring diagram (see paragraph “11”);
• replace the adhesive label with one indicating connection to the
selected voltage.
