Always unplug the power cord before
servicing or cleaning the machine.
In order to ensure trouble free operation,
we recommend carrying out the
following steps whenever the machine is
used:
N
Rinse the water hose, high-
pressure hose, spray lance and
accessories with water before fitting
them
N
Remove all dust and sand from the
couplings
N
Rinse out the spray set after use
Cleaning the nozzle
Since the pump pressure increases if
the nozzle is clogged, it must be cleaned
immediately.
N
Switch off the machine
N
Actuate the spray gun until water
merely drips from the spray head –
the machine is now depressurized
N
Remove the nozzle
N
Clean the nozzle with the cleaning
pin
NOTICE

cleaning it
N
Rinse the nozzle with water from the
front
Cleaning the water intake screen
The water intake screen must be
cleaned once per month or more often if
necessary.
N
Unscrew the hose connection
N
Carefully remove the screen with
pliers and rinse it with water
N
Before refitting the strainer, ensure
that it is undamaged and replace if
necessary
Cleaning the ventilation openings
The machine must be kept clean so that
cooling air can flow freely through the
openings in the machine.
Greasing couplings
The couplings on the spray gun for
connecting the high-pressure hose and
the spray lance must be greased as
required.
