HOT WATER USE
Check that the diesel tank is full (Fuel filler); if it is not, refill it using exclusively automotive diesel or HVO
diesel which reduces carbon emissions by 80%.
For cold water operation, switch on only the (MACHINE ON–OFF) switch, and make sure the BURNER
ON-OFF is switched OFF.
Check that the thermostat (Burner Thermostat) is positioned at 0°C, start the boiler by means of the
appropriate switch (BURNER ON - OFF) which will cause the relevant light to illuminate, wait for 30 seconds
so that the diesel pump can refill, turn the knob of the thermostat (BURNER THERMOSTAT) to the required
temperature (upon reaching the desired temperature, the burner will cut off automatically to then restart
upon any lowering of temperature. Squeeze the pistol lever to obtain water flow to the lance, adjust the
pressure accordingly at the (PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT) control to suit the type of job and then start your
job.
To close down the machine, turn the thermostat (BURNER THERMOSTAT)) to zero, keep the pistol open (3)
and allow the water to cool, turn off the boiler (BURNER ON-OFF) turn off the water supply (2), turn off the
motor and pump (MACHINE ON-OFF), then squeeze the pistol lever until the residual water pressure has
been expelled.
STEAM OPERATION
Steam operation with the VSC is a wet steam operation. This means that although the water temperature is
100°C plus, you will still have water residue left when cleaning.
The advantage of wet steam over dry steam is that cleaning is a lot faster.
To achieve steam operation with the VSC there are certain very important settings that must be in place:
1.
Turn the pressure adjustment knob on your V-TUF pressure washer to lowest pressure possible (
anti-clockwise – see below)
2.
Switch on the burner switch (orange) and set the thermostat (round dial) setting on highest temperature
(clock-wise – see below)
