Operations
marked with this
symbol should
only be carried
out by Nilfisk-Alto
Service Technicians.
For your own safety
The high-pressure cleaner
should only be used by authorized persons who have been
instructed in its use.
Although extremely easy to
operate, children should not be
allowed to use the cleaner.
General
Use of the high-pressure cleaner is subject to the applicable
local regulations.
Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident
prevention regulations valid in
the country of use, observe recognized regulations for safety
and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Transport
For safe transport in and on
vehicles we recommend preventing the equipment from
sliding and tilting. Secure it with
tie-downsl.
For transport at temperatures
around or below freezing 0°C
(32°F), anti-freeze should be
drawn into the pump beforehand
(see chapter 6).
Before starting the cleaner
CAUTION!
High-pressure water jets can
be dangerous if misused. The
jet must not be directed at
persons, animals, live electrical equipment or the cleaner
itself.
Wear appropriate protective
clothing and eye protection.
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other persons in order to clean clothes or
footwear.
During operation of the cleaner,
recoil forces are produced at the
gunvalve and spray lance and,
when the spray lance is held at
an angle, a torque is also created. The gunvalve and spray
lancemust therefore be held
firmly in both hands.
Do not use the cleaner when
other people without protective
clothing are in the working area.
Check that cleaning will not
result in dangerous substances
(e.g. asbestos, oil) being
washed off the object to be
cleaned and harming the environment.
Do not clean delicate parts
made of rubber, fabric, etc. with
the 0° jet. Keep some distance
between high pressure nozzle
and surface in order to prevent
the surface from damage.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.
NOTE!
The maximum permissible
working pressure and temperature are printed on the highpressure hose.

NEPTUNE PE
Do not use the cleaner if the
high-pressure hose or the
equipment is damaged.
Ensure adequate air circulation. Do not cover the cleaner or
operate it in inadequately ventilated rooms!
Store the cleaner where
it will not be exposed to
frost!
Never operate the cleaner without water. Even brief shortages
of water result in severe damage to the pump seals.
Operation
CAUTION!
Unsuitable fuels (e.g. gasoline)
must not be used as they can
explode and catch fire.
Use clean fuel only, free of
moisture and contamination.
Contact your dealer for fuel
source and type recommendations.
This machine can be used with
Bio-Diesel (DIN 51606). However, our experience has shown
that the fuel quality is often outside the recognized standards.
An organic product like Bio-Diesel can be affected by long-term
storage (e.g. over the winter),
extreme temperatures, or improper transportation. When the
condition of the fuel is outside
the standards, trouble may occur which cannot be covered by
the Warranty.
If the machine is to be operated at fuel stations or in other
potentially hazardous areas,
the machine may only be employed outside the hazard areas
defined in the German „Technical Guidelines for Inflammable
Fluids“ applicable at the point
of use due to the potential explosion hazard posed by the
burner.
Do not use the machine in
closed rooms.
CAUTION!
Do not touch or cover the exhaust. Risk of burns and fire.
Maintenance and repair
CAUTION!
Always remove the ignition
key before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work
on the cleaner.
Carry out only the maintenance
operations described in the
operating instructions. Use only
original Nilfisk-Alto spare parts.
Do not make any technical modifications to the high-pressure
cleaner.
Ensure that the machine is
regularly serviced by authorized
Nilfisk-Alto dealers in accordance with the maintenace plan.
Failure to do so will void the
warranty.
CAUTION!
High-pressure hoses, fittings
and couplings are important
for the safety of the cleaner.
Use only high-pressure parts
approved by the manufacturer!
Please contact your local authorized Nilfisk-Alto equipment
distributor for all other maintenance or repair needs!
Testing
The cleaner conforms to the
German „Guidelines for Liquid Spray Jet Devices“. The
high-pressure cleaner must be
subjected to a safety examination in accordance with the „Accident Prevention Regulations
for Working with Liquid Spray
Jet Devices“ as required, but at
least every 12 months, by an
authorised inspector.
The complete „Accident Prevention Regulations for Working
with Liquid Spray Jet Devices“
are available from the Carl Heymanns Verlag KG, Luxemburger
Strasse 449, 50939 Cologne or
from the appropriate association of employers’ liability insurances.
The pressure-bearing parts of
this high-pressure cleaner have
been manufactured in accordance with § 9 of the German
Pressure Vessels Ordinance
and successfully subjected to a
pressure test.
Unloader valve
Pump pressure is reduced by
means of an “unloader valve”
which returns water to the inlet
side of the pump at a minimum
pressure. The point at which
this occurs is set and sealed
at the factory and must not be
adjusted.

3.1 Transport and assembly
1. The safest way to lift the ma-
chine is to use a fork-lift truck
The arrows in the illustration
indicate the best places to
position the fork.
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 of altitude and the
resulting air pressure. This is
true whether your fuel is ‘Natural
gas’, Propane or Diesel.
Your Nilfisk-ALTO hot water
pressure washer was thoroughly tested and adjusted for
optimum performance before
it left our factory. The factory
is
located at approximately 200m
(650 ft) above sea level, and the
combustion settin
gs are optimal
for that elevation.
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
Dealer or Nilfi sk-ALTO for
assistance.
3.2 Set the brake (only
machines with wheels
1. Before using the cleaner for
the fi rst time, check it carefully for any faults or damage.
2. Run the machine only when
it is in perfect working condition.
3. Set the brake.
3.7 Fill up fuel tank With the machine cold and
turned off:
1. Fill fuel tank from a clean
container with a fresh fuel
(fuel oil EL, or Diesel oil DIN
51 603), or fuel type recom-

Bio-Diesel can be used, see
notes in chapter 1.
The fuel must be free from contamination.
Tank capacity max. 57 l.
NOTE!
At temperatures below 8°C
(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
