CAUTION
• High pressure jets can be dangerous. Never direct the water
jet at persons, pets, electrical equipment or the machine itself.
• Be aware when cleaning delicate parts made of rubber, fabric, etc. with the high pressure cleaner. Keep some distance
between high pressure nozzle and surface in order to prevent
the surface from damage.
• During operation of the cleaner, recoil forces are produced at
the spraying device. It must therefore be held firmly in both
hands.
• Wear goggles during operation.
• The operator and anyone in the immediate vicinity of the site
of cleaning should take action to protect themselves from
being struck by debris dislodged during operation.
• Never use the machine in an environment where there could
be a danger of explosion.
• Risk of explosion – Do not use the cleaner to spray with flammable liquids.
• It is not allowed to clean asbestos- containing surfaces with
high pressure.
• Check that cleaning will not result in dangerous substances
(e.g. asbestos, oil) being washed off and harming the environment.
• Only use correct fuel as specified. Improper fuels can cause
severe hazard.
• Ensure that any exhaust emissions are not in a vicinity of air
intakes.
• Because of exhaust emissions, airborne dust and aerosols,
use proper safety gear when necessary.
• Do not operate the cleaner in inadequately ventilated rooms.
• Do not touch, cover or place hose or power cord over the
chimney.
• Do not tie the trigger handle open.
• Do not use any unsafe work techniques.
• Do not use the high-pressure hose for lifting loads.
• Operate the cleaner in the intended upright position only.
• High pressure hoses and couplings are safety relevant. Only
use parts recommended by your Nilfisk ALTO dealer.

3 Before starting the cleaner
3.1 Transport and assembly
3.2 Combustion settings
CAUTION
Do not hold the plastic tank to lift the machine as it could become
detached from the frame.
The best places to hold the machine are:
• on the handle
• on the frame between the front wheels and the guide rollers.
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 120m (390 ft) above sea
level, and the combustion settings are optimal for that elevation.
1. The safest way to lift the
machine is to use a fork-lift
truck The arrows in the illustration indicate the best
places to position the fork.
2. It is also possible to lift the
machine by hand from the
pallet. Due to the weight
this work should be done
by at least three persons.
EN
3.3 Set the brake
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 Nilfisk-ALTO for assistance.
1. Before using the cleaner
for the first 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.
4. The slope on which the
high pressure cleaner is
placed must not exceed
0
more than 10
in any direc-
tion.

3.6 Fill up tank for NilfiskAL TO AntiStone (AntiScale)
Fill up Nilfisk-ALTO Anti-Stone
(Anti-Scale)/water softener
reservoir with the sample bottle provided. Nilfisk-ALTO An-
tiStone (Anti-Scale) prevents
any deposits of scale and acts
at the same time as a corrosion
inhibitor.
For compatibility reasons, use
only the tested Nilfisk-ALTO
AntiStone (Anti-Scale) which is
available as:
• Six-pack of 1 liter bottles:
order part number 8466
• 10 liter:
order part number 80919
• 25 liter:
order part number 81235

3.7 Antiscale
The Nilfisk ALTO Antiscale dosing system is set by the factory.
To adjust the water hardness we recommend that the inlet water is
tested accordingly.
Use the schematic to find the right dosage of No Scale/anti stone
and water, and add the mixture to the antiscale tank.
Machine flow L/h Pump size ml/h ˚dH ˚f ˚e Dosage
1200 35 0-12 0-21,5 0 - 15 1:1 = 17ml/h
1200 35 12-30 21,5 - 53,7 15 - 37,5 Pure = 35ml/h
3.8 Fill up fuel tank
With the machine cold, turned
off and disconnected from power supply:
• Fill fuel tank from a clean
container with a fresh fuel
(fuel oil EL, or Diesel oil
DIN 51 603), or fuel type
recommended by your distributor.
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 added (available
from the fuel oil trade).
• Use clean fuel only, free of moisture and contamination. Contact your dealer for fuel source and type recommendations.
3.9 Connecting the high
pressure hose
3.9.1 Machines with high
pressure hose reel
1)
1. Connect the high pressure
hose quick connector to the
B
high pressure nipple (A) located at the hose reel axle.
2. Place the high pressure
C
A
hose into the hose guide
(B) and retain it with the
clip.
3. Release the brake (C) on
the hose reel and wind up
the high pressure hose.
NOTE
• High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for
the safety of the cleaner. Use only high-pressure parts approved by Nilfisk.
