Clean plastic parts with a
cloth. Harsh detergents can
damage the plastic.
Clean ventilation slots in
motor housing as needed.
The machine must be
serviced regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or
repair work not described in
the Instruction Manual. All
other work should be carried
out by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use
of genuine STIHL spare parts.
Such parts have been
optimized for the machine and
the user's requirements.
STIHL recommends that
maintenance and repair work
be carried out only by
authorized STIHL dealers.
STIHL dealers receive regular
training and are supplied with
technical information.
The following information and examples
of application make work easier and
contribute to achieving an optimum
cleaning result.
Operating pressure and water
throughput
High pressure dissolves dirt better. The
higher the water throughput, the easier it
is to remove the dirt that has been
loosened.
Clean delicate parts and surfaces (e. g.
car paint, rubber) by applying low
pressure or at a greater distance to
avoid damage. 100 bar pressure is
sufficient for cleaning vehicles.
Nozzles
Fan-jet nozzle
All-purpose – to clean parts and
(sensitive) surfaces.
Applications:
–
Cleaning vehicles and machines
–
Cleaning floors and surfaces
–
Cleaning roofs and facades
Rotary nozzle
To remove stubborn dirt on hard-
wearing surfaces.
Extremely dirty surfaces
Soak extremely dirty surfaces with water
before cleaning them.
Detergents:
The cleaning effect can be improved by
using detergents. The corresponding
exposure time (dependent on the
detergent used) increases the cleaning
performance.
Do not allow the detergent to dry.
Always use detergent in the specified
dosage and follow the corresponding
instructions for use of the detergent.
Mechanical cleaning:
The additional use of e. g. rotary nozzles
or washing brushes helps to remove
highly adhesive layers of dirt.
