Before using the high-pressure
washer, be sure to also read the
enclosed operating instructions
and keep them within reach at
all times.
The high-pressure washer
may only be used by persons
instructed in its use and
who have been expressly
authorised to do so.
General
Use of the high-pressure
washer is subject to the
applicable local regulations.
In addition to the operating
instructions and the binding
accident prevention regulations
in the country of use, the
generally recognised rules
for safe working must also be
observed.
Any method of use endangering
the safety of persons or
equipment is forbidden.
Before use
Before use, check that the highpressure cleaner is in a safe
and proper condition.
Operate the pressure washer
only in an upright position!
Important notes:
Do not connect the pressure
washer directly to the public
drinking water mains (observe
DIN 1988 and EN 1717).
A connection is permitted,
however:
• briefl y to a pipe interrupter
with moving section
• with a free outlet
Water may also be drawn from
an open container or from
a well or surface water not
intended for the drinking water
supply. Please use suction set
for this. Ensure that neither dirty
water nor liquids containing
solvents are sucked in.
Please observe the regulations
and provisions applicable in
your country. Before putting
the high-pressure washer into
service, carry out a visual check
of all the major components.
High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if misused. The
jet must not be directed at
persons, animals, live electrical
equipment or the pressure
washer itself.
During operation of the washer,
recoil forces are produced at
the spray lance and, when
the lance is held at an angle,
a torque is also created. The
lance must therefore be held
fi rmly in both hands.
Risk of injury!
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other
persons in order to clean
clothes or footwear.
Do not use the washer when
other people without protective
16
Page 4
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 round jet. Hold the nozzle
at a distance of at least 15 cm
when cleaning with the highpressure fl at jet.
Although extremely easy to
operate, children should not
be allowed to use the pressure
washer.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.
Do not continue to use the
washer if the quick coupling
or high-pressure hose is
damaged.
Never use the machine in areas
where there is danger of fi re
or explosion. When using the
pressure washer, stand at least
1 m from buildings, etc.
Ensure an adequate air
circulation. Do not cover
the washer or operate it in
inadequately ventilated rooms!
The exhaust fumes are
dangerous!
Store the pressure washer
where it will not be exposed to
frost!
Never operate the pressure
washer without water. Even
brief shortages of water result
in severe damage to the pump
seals.
Maintenace and repair
CAUTION!
Before cleaning and servicing
the high pressure washer,
always remove the ignition
plug cable fi rst.
Carry out only the maintenance
operations described in the
operating instructions.
Use only original Nilfi sk-ALTO
spare parts. Do not make any
technical modifi cations to the
high pressure washer.
CAUTION!
High pressure hoses, fi ttings
and couplings are important
for the safety of the washer.
Use only high pressure parts
approved by the manufacturer!
CAUTION!
Failure to observe these
instructions can endanger your
safety.
Please contact the Nilfi skALTO service department or an
authorised specialist work-shop
for all other maintenance or
repair work!
Testing
The machine satisfi es IEC/EN
60335-2-79 standards.
The high pressure washer
should be examined as needed
or at least once a year by a
technician to make sure that it
is fail-safe.
Our service technicians are at
your disposal for assistance
and advice.
Safety device
The high pressure pump is
equipped with a safety valve
that redirects the by-pass
pressure back to the suction
side of the pump.
The safety device is set and
sealed at the factory and must
not be adjusted.

3.1 Setting up the pressure
washer
1. Before using the pressure
washer for the fi rst time,
check it carefully to detect
any faults or damage.
2. In the event of any damage
contact your Nilfi sk-ALTO
dealer immediately.
3. Check whether the oil level
is in the middle of the oil
inspection glass. This also
applies to machines with
gear.
4 Operation and use
4.1 Connections
4.1.1 Connecting the lance to
the spray gun1. Pull the blue quick coupling
C
A
of the spray gun forward and
lock it by turning it to the left.
2. Insert the nipple of the lance
B
into the quick coupling and
turn the blue quick coupling
grip to the right.
3. Pull the lance (or other
accessory) forward to check
that it is securely attached to
the spray gun.
4.1.2 Connecting the high
pressure hose and the
water hose
NOTE!
Always remove any dirt from
the nipple before connecting
the lanse to the spray gun.
1. Connect the high pressure
hose to the high pressure
inlet by means of the quick
coupling. Use max. 50 m
extension hose.
2. Before connecting the water
hose to the washer, rinse the
water hose briefl y to prevent
sand and other dirt from
entering into the washer.
3. Open the tap.

EN
NOTE!
See chapter 8.3 for required
quantity of water and water
pressure.
In the case of poor water quality
(sand, etc.), we recommend
that a fi ne water fi lter is fi tted in
the water inlet.
4.1.3 FuellingWARNING!
Always shut off the engine
and let it cool for at least two
minutes before fuelling.
Avoid spilling fuel.
If you do spill fuel when fuelling,
do not start the engine before
the spilled fuel has evaporated.
If the washer is on a trailer, any
fuel spills must be wiped up
before the machine is started.
4.2 Start the washer
4.2.1 Switching on the
washer when it is
connected to a water
supply
Never expose the machine
to an open fl ame. Smoking is
prohibited during fuelling. Also
read the operating manual for
the fuel engine.
Note: Never operate the
ma chine in a closed room; the
exhaust fumes are dan ger ous.
Follow the safety instructions
in chapter 1!
1. Start the engine. (See the
operating manual for the fuel
engine.)
2. Unlock the spray gun and
operate it.
3. Lock the safety catch even
during short pauses.
NOTE!
Operate the
spray gun several
times at short intervals to vent
the system.
4.2.2 Switching on the
washer when it is
connected to open
tanks (suction mode)
20
1. Before connecting the suction
hose to the washer, fi ll the
hose with water.
2. Start the washer.
3. Unlock the spray gun and
activate it.
4. When using this machine in
suction mode, fi rst ensure
that the system has been
bled of air by letting the
machine run without spray
lance mounted until all air
has escaped.
During work breaks of more
than three minutes, switch off
the washer.
NOTE!
For automatic
suction from a tank,
watercourse or similar sup ply,
the inlet hose must be fi lled
with water before you start.
The suction height depends on
the water temperature. Max.
suction height (see section 8.3
Technical Data) is reached with
cold water (up to 8°C). With
70°C/60°C warm water, the
ma chine must be under or at
the water level.
(continued -->)
Page 8
If the water being suctioned
contains particles, a suction
fi lter must be mounted on the
end of the hose.
In case of risk of running sands,
a sand fi lter must be attached.
EN
4.3 Using detergentsDetergent can be added by
means of the detergent injector.
5 After using the washer
1. Dilute detergent according
to the manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Set the pressure to the lowest
setting on the lance.
CAUTION!
Never allow
detergent to dry
on the surface to
be cleaned as this may cause
damage.
5.1 Stop the pressure
washer
5.2 Disconnecting supply
lines
1. Stop the engine.
2. Close the tap.
