5.3 Use with detergents
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.
CAUTION
• Make sure that the tank (5) is replaced in the correct position, especially regarding the detergent
suction pipe (37).
All high-pressure cleaners can also take up detergents from an external tank. This is also possible if the
tank (5) contains detergent as the suction from the internal tank is automatically interrupted (also refer
to following section).
• If using suction from an external tank (also see Fig. 3), unscrew the cap (35) and insert the coupling (36)
for the detergent suction pipe for an external tank (31) into the coupling (38). The external tank should
already contain the chosen detergent. Again, follow the recommendations regarding the doses indicated
on the label on the container of detergent.
• Operate the nozzle head (24) as illustrated in Fig 3a and then operate the lever (33) on the cleaner gun
and start the releasing the detergent.
• Turn the detergent adjustment control knob (4) to achieve the required amount of product.
• Operate the nozzle head (24) as illustrated in Fig 3b to restore high-pressure operation.
CAUTION
• After use of the high pressure cleaner with external tank, take care to replace the cap (35) correctly in
the coupling (38) to safeguard the correct suction of detergent from the high-pressure cleaner’s tank (5).
5.4 Interrupting use
5.4.1 Interrupting use when operating pressure is between 0÷20 bar/0÷290 psi
Release the lever (33) on the cleaner gun and the high-pressure cleaner will change from operational
mode to bypass mode and remains in bypass mode until the lever (33) is pressed again.
CAUTION
• Do not leave the high-pressure cleaner in bypass mode for more than three minutes (with cleaner
gun closed).
5.4.2 Interrupting use when operating pressure is above 20 bar/290 psi (Total Stop)
Release the lever (33) on the cleaner gun and the high-pressure cleaner will automatically stop.
The high-pressure cleaner starts operating normally again when the lever on the cleaner gun is pressed
again.
