servicing or cleaning the machine.
In order to ensure trouble free operation,
we recommend carrying out the
following steps whenever the machine is
used:

pressure hose, spray lance and
accessories with water before fitting
them
N
Remove all sand and dust from the

lance and the coupling sleeve of the
spray gun
Cleaning the high-pressure nozzle
Since the pump pressure increases if
the nozzle is clogged, it must be cleaned
immediately.

merely drips from the spray head –
the machine is now depressurized

the nozzle end

cleaned every week or more often if
necessary.
