WARNING
• The high pressure cleaner was designed to be used with the detergents recommended by the Manufacturer.
Use of other detergents or chemicals can affect the safety of the high pressure cleaner.
Never suck up liquids, which contain solvents, petrol, diluents, acetone and fuel oil, as these products are
highly inflammable, explosive and toxic when nebulized.
• Read the instructions and warnings on the label of the detergent to be used.
• Store detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
• Should detergent come into contact with your eyes, wash immediately with water. Contact a doctor
without delay and remember to take the container of detergent with you.
• If detergent is swallowed, do not provoke vomiting. Contact a doctor without delay and remember to take
the container of detergent with you.
• When filling the tank with detergent, take care not to spill any detergent on the high pressure cleaner. If
this should happen, wait at least 24 hours before using the high pressure cleaner so that any liquid, which
may have entered the appliance, can evaporate.
The recommended detergents, are over 90% biodegradable.
For information on how to use the detergents, refer to the instructions in the table and on the label on
the container of detergent.
• If using suction from the high-pressure cleaner’s tank (5), unscrew the cap (3) and fill the tank taking
care not to spill the liquid (maximum capacity 4L / 1.06 US gallons). Follow the recommendations
regarding the doses indicated on the label on the container of detergent.
For more thorough cleaning, the detergent tank (5) can be removed from its housing as follows:
• Unscrew the ring nut (6) completely, remove the detergent suction pipe (37), press down on the detergent
cap (3) and remove the tank (5) at the same time.
Follow the same procedure backwards to replace the tank.
