Turn the regulation spindle in a clock-
wise direction: Increase working pres-
sure (MAX).
Turn the regulation spindle in an anti-
clockwise direction: Reduce working
pressure (MIN).
Set thermostat to max. 98 °C.
Set the operating pressure on the pump
unit to the maximum value.
Set the working pressure and feed
quantity by turning (steplessly) the
pressure/quantity regulation mecha-
nism at the hand spray gun (+/-).
Danger
When adjusting the pressure/quantity regu-
lation, make sure that the screw connection
of the spray lance does not become loose.
Note:
For long term work with low pres-
sure, set pressure at the pump unit.
–
For considerate treatment of the envi-
ronment use detergent economically.
–
The detergent must be suitable for the
surface to be cleaned.
With support of the detergent dose
valve set detergent concentration as
determined by the manufacturer.
Note:
Recommended values at the control
panel at maximum working pressure.
Set pressure/temperature and deter-
gent concentration according to the sur-
face to be cleaned.
Note:
To prevent damage due to too much
pressure, always position high pressure ray
first from a greater distance towards object
to be cleaned.
–
Loosen the dirt:
Spray detergent economically and let it
work for 1...5 minutes but do not let it
dry up.
–
Remove the dirt:
Spray off loosened dirt with the high-
pressure jet.
Removal of light contaminations and clear
rinse, i.e.: Gardening tools, terrace, tools, etc.
Set operating pressure according to
need.
The appliance works in the most economi-
cal temperature range.
Note:
The temperature can be regulated
up to 60 °C.
We recommend the following cleaning tem-
peratures:
–
Light contaminations
30-50 °C
–
Contaminations containing protein, i.e.
in the food processing industry
max. 60 °C
–
Vehicle cleaning, machine cleaning
60-90 °C
–
De-preserve, contaminations contain-
ing strong fat contents
100-110 °C
–
De-frosting of surcharge substances,
partially facade cleaning
up to 140 °C
