3.1
Transport and assembly
1. The safest way to lift the ma-
chine is to use a fork-lift truck
The arrows in the illustration
indicate the best places to
position the fork.
Every fuel-burning appliance,
such as pressure washers, de-
pends upon a proper mix of fuel
and air (by weight) for proper
combustion. Therefore some
adjustment of the air supply to
the burner may be necessary to
take account of altitude and the
resulting air pressure. This is
true whether your fuel is ‘Natural
gas’, Propane or Diesel.
Your Nilfisk-ALTO hot water
pressure washer was thor-
oughly tested and adjusted for
optimum performance before
it left our factory. The factory is
located at approximately 200m
(650 ft) above sea level, and the
combustion settings are optimal
for that elevation.
If your location is higher
than 1200m (3900 ft) above
sea level, your burner may
require re-adjustment for
proper performance and best
fuel economy. Contact your
Dealer or Nilfi sk-ALTO for
assistance.

NOTE
!
At tem-
peratures
below 8°C
(46°F), the fuel oil begins to so-
lidify (paraffin precipitation). This
can lead to difficulties in starting
the burner. Before the winter
months it is recommended that a
fuel conditioner/stabilizer be
