5 Working methods
5.1 General Effi cient high presure cleaning is achieved by following a few guide-
lines, combined with your own personal experience of specifi c
cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can increase the effi ciency of your pressure washer. Here is
some basic information about cleaning.
5.1.1 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 being cleaned. Note: It is important that the detergents do not dry up.
Otherwise the surface that has to be cleaned can be da maged.
5.1.2 Mechanical effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical
effect may be required. Special wash brushes offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car washing).
6 After using your pressure washer
6.1 Storing the washer The machine should be stored in a frost-free room!
Pump, hose and accessories
should always be emptied of
water prior to storing as follows:
1. Stop the machine (press the
start/stop switch “O” (1) and
detach water hose and accessory.
2. Restart the machine and
activate the trigger. Let the
machine run until no more
water runs through the spray
gun.
3. Stop the machine, unplug
and wind up hose and cable.
4. Place spray handle, nozzles
and other accessories in the
holders of the machine.
Should the machine by mistake
be frozen, it will be necessary
to check it for damage.
NEVER START-UP A FROZEN
MACHINE.
Frost damages are not
covered by the guarantee!

WARNING! Always disconnect
the electrical plug from the
socket prior to maintenance or
cleaning.
To ensure a long and problem
free working life, please take
the following advice:
Wash out water hose, high
pressure hose, spray lance
and accessories before
mounting.
Clean the connectors of dust
and sand. Make sure that
no sand or dirt is blocking
the movement of the button
on the Click & Clean spray
lance.
Rinse the detergent spraying
attachment after use.
Clean the nozzles.
Any repair should always be
made in an authorized workshop with original spare parts.

7.1 Cleaning of water inlet
fi lter
Clean the water inlet fi lter
regularly once a month or more
frequently according to use.
Carefully loosen the fi lter with a
pair of pliers and clean it. Check
that it is intact before re-mounting it.
The inlet fi lter must always be
fi tted inside the water inlet pipe
to fi lter out sand, limestone and
other impurities, as they will
damage the pump valves.
CAUTION: Failure to fi t the fi lter
will invalidate the guarantee.
7.2 Cleaning of nozzle A clogging up in the nozzle
causes a pump pressure which
is too high. This is why cleaning
is required immediately.
1. Stop the machine and disconnect the nozzle.
2. Clean the nozzle. IMPOR-
TANT: The cleaning tool (11)
should only be used when
the nozzle is detached!
3. Flush the nozzle backwards
with water.
7.3 Cleaning of machine
vents
The machine should be kept
clean so as to let cooling air
pass freely through the machine vents.
7.4 Greasing of couplings
To ensure an easy connection and that o-rings do not dry
up, the couplings should be
greased regularly.
