Safety devices

Caution - Danger!

Do not tamper with or adjust the safety valve setting.

• Safety valve and/or pressure limiting valve. The safety
valve is also a pressure limiting valve. When the gun
trigger is released, the valve opens and the water
recirculates through the pump inlet or is discharged onto
the ground.

• Thermostat valve (D1 where fitted) If the water
temperature exceeds the temperature set by the
manufacturer, the thermostat valve discharges the hot
water and draws in an amount of cold water equal to the
amount of water discharged, until the correct
temperature is restored.

• Safety catch (D): prevents accidental spraying of water.

Installation (fig.2)

Assembly

Caution - Danger!

All installation and assembly operations must be

performed with the appliance disconnected from the mains
power supply.

The assembly sequence is illustrated in fig.2.

Assembling the rotating nozzle

(For models with this feature)

The rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power. Use
of the rotating nozzle may cause of reduction in pressure of
25% compared to the pressure obtained with the adjustable
nozzle. However, the rotating nozzle kit delivers greater
washing power due to the rotation of the water jet.

Electrical connection

Caution - Danger!

Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency
(V-Hz) correspond to those specified on the appliance data
plate (fig.2). The appliance should only be connected to a
mains power supply equipped with an adequate earth
connection and a differential security breaker (30 mA) to cut
off the electricity supply in the instance of a short circuit.

Use of extension cables

Use cables and plugs featuring “IPX5” protection level. The
cross-section of the extension cable should be proportionate
to its length; the longer it is, the greater its cross-section
should be. See table I.

Water supply connection

Caution - Danger!

Only clean or filtered water should be used for intake. The
delivery of the water intake tap should be equal to that of
pump capacity.

Place the appliance as close to the water supply system as
possible.

Connection points

• Water outlet (OUTLET)

• Water inlet with filter (INLET)

Connection to the mains water supply

The appliance can be connected directly to the mains
drinking water supply only if the supply hose is fitted with a
backflow preventer valve as per current regulations in force.
Make sure that the hose is at least Ø 13 mm and that it is
reinforced.

Adjustment information (fig.3)

Adjusting the spray nozzle

(for models with this feature)

• Water flow is adjusted by regulating the nozzle (E).

Adjusting the detergent

(on models with this feature)

• Detergent flow is adjusted using the regulator (F).

Adjusting the detergent pressure

Set the adjustable nozzle (E) on " - " to deliver detergent at
the correct pressure (on models with this feature).

Adjusting the pressure

(on models with this feature)

• The regulator (G) is used to adjust the working pressure.
The pressure is shown on the pressure gauge (where
fitted).

Information on use of the appliance (fig.4)

Controls

• Starter device (H).

Set the starter switch on (ON/1) to:

a) Start the motor (in models without TSS device);

b) Set the motor ready to start (in models with TSS

device).

• If there is a pilot light on the starter device, it should light
up.

• If the “low/high” settings are available, use them as
follows:

• Low : low pressure washing

• High : high pressure washing

• Set the starter device switch on (OFF/0) to shut down
the appliance.

• If there is a pilot light on the starter device, it should go
out.

• Water jet control lever (I).

Caution - Danger!

During operation the appliance must be positioned as
shown in fig. 4 on a sturdy, stable surface.

Start-up

1) Turn on the water supply tap fully.

2) Release the safety catch (D).

3) Depress the gun trigger for a few seconds and start up
the appliance using the starter device (ON/1).

Caution - Danger!

Before starting up the appliance check that the water supply
hose is connected properly; use of the appliance without
water will damage it; do not cover the ventilation grilles when
the appliance is in use.

TSS models - In TSS models with automatic delivery flow
cut-off system:

• When the gun trigger is released the dynamic pressure
automatically cuts out the motor (see fig.4);

• When the gun trigger is depressed the automatic drop in
pressure starts the motor and the pressure is restored
after a very slight delay;

• If the TSS is to function correctly all gun releasing and
depressing operations must be performed at intervals of
less than 4-5 seconds.

• On three-phase models for professional use, at first use
start the appliance for a very short time to check that the
motor is running in the correct direction. If the motor fan
is turning anti-clockwise, exchange two of the three
phase wires (L1, L2, L3) in the electrical plug.

• To prevent damage to the appliance, do not allow it to
operate dry and when running do not stop the water jet
for more than 10 minutes at a time (for models without
TSS device).

Stopping the appliance

1) Set the starter device switch on (OFF/0).

2) Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual
pressure inside the hoses.

3) Engage the gun safety catch (D).

Restarting

1) Release the safety catch (D).

2) Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual air
inside the hoses.

3) Set the starter device on (ON/1).

ENGLISH

Storage

1) Switch the appliance off (OFF/0).

2) Remove the plug from the socket.

3) Turn off the water supply tap.

4) Discharge the residual pressure from the gun until all
the water has come out of the nozzle.

5) Drain and wash out the detergent tank at the end of the
working session. To wash out the tank, use clean water
instead of the detergent.

6) Engage the gun safety catch (D).

Refilling and using detergent

When using detergent, the adjustable nozzle must be set on
"-" (on models with this feature).

Use of a high pressure hose longer than the one originally
supplied with the cleaner, or the use of an additional hose
extension, may reduce or completely halt the intake of
detergent.

Fill the tank with highly degradable detergent.

Recommended cleaning procedure

Dissolve dirt by applying the detergent mixed with water to
the surface while still dry.

When dealing with vertical surfaces work from the bottom
upwards.

Leave the detergent to act for 1-2 minutes but do not allow
the surface to dry. Starting from the bottom, use the high
pressure jet at a minimum distance of 30 cm. Do not allow
the rinse water to run onto unwashed surfaces.

In some cases, scrubbing with brushes is needed to remove
dirt.

High pressure is not always the best solution for good
washing results, since it may damage some surfaces. The

finest adjustable nozzle jet setting or the rotating nozzle

should not be used on delicate or painted parts, or on

pressurised components (e.g tyres, inflation valves, etc.).

Effective washing depends on both the pressure and
volume of the water used, to the same degree.

Maintenance (fig.5)

Any maintenance operations not covered by this chapter
should be carried out by an Authorized Sales and Service
Centre.

Caution - Danger!

Always disconnect the plug from the power socket before
carrying out any work on the appliance.

Cleaning the nozzle

1) Disconnect the lance from the nozzle.

2) Remove any dirt deposits from the nozzle hole using the
tool (C1).

Cleaning the filter

Inspect the intake filter (L) and detergent filter (if fitted)

before each use, and clean in accordance with the
instructions if necessary.

Unjamming the motor (on models with this feature)

In case of lengthy stoppages, limescale sediments may
cause the motor to seize. To unjam the motor, turn the drive
shaft with a tool (M).

End-of-season storage

Treat the appliance with non-corrosive, non-toxic antifreeze
before storing it away for winter.

Put the appliance in a dry place, protected from frost.
