Maintenance and storage
WARNING! Always disconnect the plug form the socket
prior to maintenance or cleaning.
To ensure a long and problem free working life, please take
the following advice:
• Wash off water hose, spray gun hose, spray lance and
accessories before mounting.
• Clean the connecting part.
• Rinse the foam nozzle after use.
Any repair should always be made by our authorized
distributor with genuine spare parts.
Nozzle Cleaning and Maintenance (Fig.27)
• Use the nozzle cleaning pin (14) to regularly clean inside
the nozzle.
• Insert the nozzle cleaning pin (14) into the nozzle and
remove any foreign matter lodged in the nozzle by
tapping the nozzle onto a desk or table with the nozzle
opening pointed downward.
If the nozzle is clogged, low spray pressure and/or
malfunction of the pressure switch may result.
WARNING! Confirm that the nozzle is free of debris by
removing it from the spray gun and visually inspecting
inside the opening. Always clean the nozzle opening
after removing it from the spray gun.
Cleaning the Filter (Fig.28)
1. Loosen the water connector (12) and remove it from the
unit.
2. Remove the filter (22) in the water connector (12).
3. Rinse away any accumulated debris from the filter's
mesh.
4. Return the filter to its original position.
5. Reconnect the water connector to the unit.
Ensure that the water connector is threaded straight
onto the water connection port before gently rotating
it in a clockwise direction. (If the connector is not
threaded correctly onto the port, leaking may occur.)
Cleaning of strainer(optional accessory)(Fig.29)
• Flush with running water and remove the dust on the
mesh.
note: The clogging of the strainer will cause the de-
crease of the discharge pressure.
Cleaning of Self-priming filter(optional accessory)
(Fig.30 - 31)
1. Remove the filter cap and take out the filter from the
filter case.
2. Remove dust on the mesh of filter.
3. Restore the filter and close the filter cap.
note:
• Please be careful not to lose the rubber seals set inside
and outside of filter cap.
• When installing the filter cap, make sure that the filter
is properly set in the filter case and close the filter cap
while holding the case vertically. Self-priming will not
work or water leakage will be occurred if the filter is not
set properly.
• The clogging of the filter will cause the decrease of the
discharge pressure.
Cleaning of machine vents
The machine should be kept clean so as to let cooling air
pass freely through air vents.
Storing the Unit
• The hoses, nozzles, and spray gun may be stored on the
main unit as shown in Figure 32.
Storage
Pump, hose and accessories should always be emptied of
water prior to storing as follows:
1. Long periods of nonuse: If the machine is going to be
stored for longer periods of time (i.e. over three months)
in a room where frost could develop, it is recommended
that the machine be filled with an antifreeze solution
(similar to the antifreeze solutions used for vehicles).
2. When the device is not used for an extended period of
time, lime deposits begin to form in the motor pump,
which in turn can lead to starting difficulties.
NEVER START UP A FROZEN MACHINE.
Frost damages are not covered by the guarantee!
Environmental protection
Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing
of them as waste. All tools, hoses and packaging
should be sorted, taken to the local recycling
centre and disposed of in an environmentally safe
way.
WARNING: Do not use appliance without reading
the instruction sheet
Machine not suitable for connection to the potable
water mains
To reduce the risk of injury, user must keep all
bystanders at least 15m away.
High pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to
misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
live electrical equipment or the machine itself.
