Regularly descale and protect the FORTADOR washer water line against freezing. Do not allow the water pump to
be run dry.
Fill them water tank to the full, so that the water level in the tank is above the water filter height. Loosen the water
filter cup, so that the filter can be freely filled with water, remove the transparent tube from water pump inlet and
let this tube fill up too, and then slide it fast back to its original location. Now the water pump should easily suck the
water in. While starting the machine, open the valve (Fig. 2 element 9) for a while, till such time as the water pump
overcomes boiler pressure and the water pump non-return valve opens (change in the water pump’s operating noise
from clattering to regular, muffled noise).
NOTE: Long-term “dry” operation of the water pump results in permanent damage to the pump unit!!!
AD a) – replace the gun (or try to repair it by replacing gun valve ball and spring or by descaling gun valve with
a 50% chance of success in case of the cleaning hose, or replace the solenoid valve in case of the washing hose).
AD b) – replace in quick connector O-rings, and use silicon grease to provide for necessary slippage of the connector’s
friction elements. AD c) – replace the safety valve (it is worn out, and fails to fully close). AD d) – replace swivel joints
that connect the gun with the cleaning hose (worn out pipe silicon / Teflon sealant).

Always use proper and good quality fuel (heating oil
or winter fuel is not a good choice). The use of a high
quality fuel is a guarantee of repeatability of the
burner’s operating performance (no need to periodically
adjust composition of the fuel / air mixture, and the fuel
nozzle does not tend to wear out so fast).

The machine refuses to start after the Start command,
does not fill with water up to the boiler L level that is
necessary to start the Lamborghini burner.
Worn out ET3000 water pump (or non-return valve that
is part of the pump, or pipe sealants inside the pump),
or air bubbles in the water line from the water tank to
the boiler.

Diagnosis and solutions
Steam coming from:
a) cleaning guns
b) cleaning hose quick-release connector
c) under the machine
d) cleaning gun handle area
Buzzing burner – characteristic vibrating noise, burner
assembly and boiler assembly are shaking in the
resonance (exhaust stream and jet pump inside the
boiler).
Change burner / boiler working conditions:
•
Change the fuel (density, calorific value).
• Different atmospheric pressure than in the original
adjustment location.
• Different humidity of the air in the machine’s place
of operation.
