3 Before starting the machine
3.1 Fuel and air mixture
Every fuel-burning appliance, such as pressure washers, depends upon a proper mix of fuel
and air (by weight) for proper combustion. Therefore some adjustment of the air supply to the
burner may be necessary to take account and the resulting air pressure. This is true whether
your fuel is ‘Natural gas’, Propane or Diesel.
Your hot
water pressure washer was thoroughly tested and adjusted for optimum performance
before it left our factory.
If your location is higher than 1200m (3900 ft) above sea level, your burner may require
re-adjustment for proper performance and best fuel economy. Contact your local Dealer
for assistance.
3.
2 Fill up fuel tanks
With the machine cold and turned off:
1.
Fill burner tank from a clean container with fresh diesel fuel
2. Fill engine tank from a clean container with fresh gas.
Use clean fuel only, free of
moisture and contamination.
Contact your dealer for fuel
source and type recommendations.
Maximum storage time in high pressure
cleaner diesel tank: 1 month.
Fuel stored externally for more than 6
months is not allowed to be filled into high
pressure cleaners.
3.3 Connecting the pressure hose
3.4 Connecting the water
NOTE!
At temperatures below 46°F the fuel oil begins to solidify (paraffin precipitation). This
can lead to difficulties in starting the burner. Before the winter months it is
recommended that a fuel conditioner/stabilizer be added (available from the fuel oil
trade). Filling up the engine with fuel, see the enclosed instructions for the engine.
1. Connect the high pressure hose quick connector to the high pressure nipple.
1. Attach hose coupling to the
water supply hose.
2. Rinse the water supply hose
briefly in order to prevent
sand and other dirt particles
entering into the machine.
3. Attach hose coupling to inlet.
4. Open water supply faucet.
NOTE!
In the case of poor water quality
(sand, etc.), it is recommended
that an inlet water filter be installed.
Water supply hose should be a
reinforced hose and have a
minimum inside diameter of
3/4" (19 mm).

5 Applications and methods
5.1 Techniques
5.1.1 Soaking
5.1.2 Detergent and Foam
5.1.3 Temperature
5.1.4 Mechanical Effect
5.1.5 High Water Flow or
High Pressure
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 chosen,
can increase the effi ciency of your pressure washer. Here is some
basic information about cleaning.
Encrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up by a
period of soaking. This is for example an ideal method within agriculture – for example, within pig sties. The ideal soaking method can be
achieved by using foam or simple alkaline detergent. Let the product
lie on the dirty surfaces for about 30 minutes before pressure washing. The result will be a much quicker high pressure cleaning process.
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 automobile bodywork, in
order to avoid “super clean” areas, where the detergent may collect
in higher concentrations and streams downwards. Let the detergent
work for several minutes before rinsing and never let it dry on the
surface being cleaned.
Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils
and fats can be broken down more effectively at higher temperatures also. Proteins can be cleaned at temperatures of around 60°C
(140°F). Oils and traffi c fi lm around 70°C (158°F), and grease can
be cleaned at 80°-90°C (176-194°F).
In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical
effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes
offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt.
High pressure is not always the best solution and may also damage
surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water fl ow. Pressure levels of around 100 bar (1450 psi) may be suffi cient for vehicle
cleaning (in association with hot water) and higher fl ow levels give
the ability to rinse and fl ush away large amounts of dirt easily.

Soaking – apply foam to all surfaces (bottom to top)
and wait for approx. 30 minutes.
Remove the dirt from surfaces with the high pressure lance or chosen accessory. Again, clean from
bottom to top on vertical surfaces.
To fl ush away large quantities of dirt, change to low
pressure mode and use the higher fl ow to push
away the dirt.
Use recommended disinfectant products and methods to ensure hygiene. Apply disinfectant once the
surfaces are perfectly clean.

Detergents
1. Apply detergent to vehicle or equipment surfaces in
order to soften up dirt and grime. Apply from bottom to
top. In cases of particularly dirty vehicles, pre-spray
with a recommended dealer product in order to
remove traces of insects etc, then rinse at low pressure and apply normal car cleaning detergent. Let
detergents settle for 5 minutes before cleaning off.
Metallic surfaces can be cleaned using a
recommended dealer product.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance.
Clean again from bottom to top. Use accessories to
clean in difficult to reach places. Use brushes in order
to add a mechanical cleaning effect. Short lances can
help for cleaning of motors and wheel arches.
Undercarriage washers can be valuable for the
cleaning of car underchassis and wheel arches.
3. Clean fragile areas such as motors, rubber at lower
pressure levels to avoid damage.
4. Apply a liquid wax using the pressure washer in order
to protect the bodywork from pollution.

Disinfectant
1. Apply thick foam over the surfaces to be cleaned.
Apply on dry surfaces. Apply from top to bottom on
vertical surfaces. Let the foam act for up to 30 minutes for the optimal effect.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure
lance. Use applicable accessories. Use high pressure to dislodge large amounts of incrusted dirt or
grime. Use lower pressure and high water volume in
order to rapidly flush away loose dirt and rinse surfaces.
3. Apply disinfectant once the surfaces are perfectly
clean.
Areas covered by amounts of loose dirt, such as animal remains in slaughterhouses, can be removed by
using high water fl ow to fl ush away the dirt to evacuation pits or drains.
Tank cleaning heads can be used to clean barrels,
vats, mixing tanks etc. Cleaning heads may be hydraulically or electrically powered and give the possibility for
automatic cleaning without a constant user.
T
hese are merely several examples of cleaning tasks that can be solved by a pressure washer in association with
accessories and detergents. Each cleaning
task is different. Please consult your local dealer or qualified representative
in order to discuss the best solution for your own cleaning tasks.

6 After using the cleaner
6.1 Switching off the
cleaner
1. Turn the burner switch to "OFF"
position.
2. Activate spray handle for 1 minute
minimum on cold water to cool
down system.
3. Turn "OFF" engine.
4. Close water tap.
5. Activate spray handle until the
washer is depressurised.
6. Lock the safety catch on the
spray
handle.
6.2 Storing / frost
protection
It is advisable to store the machine in a frost proof place between operations. If this is not
possible the machine should be
protected in the following way:
1. Disconnect the water inlet
hose. Remove the nozzle and
empty it of water.
2. Start the machine allowing it
to run with the spray handle
opened until it is empty of
water.
3. Place a suction hose in a
bucket with 6-8 l (1.5-2 gallons) anti-freeze.
4. Place the spray handle (without spray nozzle) above the
bucket, activate the spray
handle so that the anti-freeze
can circulate.
5. Place the spray handle above
the opening of the anti-freeze
container and allow the machine to pump all of the solution back into the anti-freeze
container. The anti-freeze can
be re-used, but keep in mind
that it is slightly diluted with
water each time this is done.
Important:
To avoid damage always ensure
that the washer, the hoses and
the spray lance are unfrozen
before restarting. Place the
washer and the accessories in
a warm environment for some
time before starting up.
