6  Fields of application and working 

methods

6.1 General

Effi cient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few 
guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of specifi c 
cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly cho-
sen, can increase the effi ciency of your pressure washer. Here is 
some basic information about cleaning.

6.1.1  Detergent and foam

Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the 
chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are 
applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order 
to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higher 
concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for 
several minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface be-
ing cleaned. 

Note: 

It is important that the detergents do not dry up. 

Otherwise the surfac that has to be cleaned can be da maged.

6.1.2 Mechanical effect 

In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical 
effect may be required. Special wash brushes offer this supplemen-
tary effect that removes stubborn dirt, traffi c fi lm or the like.

5.9  Regulation of pressure / 

water volume

Working pressure and water 
volume can be regulated on the 
machine by turning the button 
for regulation of pressure / wa-
ter volume (6).

The cover has a standard thread 
and fi ts common detergent con-
tainers. If your container does 
not have a standard thread, 
detach the fi lter from the suc-
tion hose and remove the cover. 

Remount the fi lter in the suction 
hose.

Extra detergent hose can be 
pulled out of the machine.
