as an example. The hose for the
water supply must not be too
long, approx. 5 m.
Make sure that the water tank is
not placed on a lower level than
the machine.
Use an external fi lter if the water contains impurities.
1. Make sure that the water
hose is fi lled completely with
water before connecting to
the machine. Place the entire
hose in a tank or bucket. To
avoid water spillage, crimp
the water inlet hose down in
the water and then connect
the hose to the machine with
the quick coupling and fi nally
uncrimp the water inlet hose.
2. Turn the start/stop switch to
position "I".

some basic information about cleaning.
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.

from Gerni in association with accessories and detergents.
TaskAccessories ‘Click
Cleaning method
& Clean’
Car
Car nozzle,
auto brush,
underchassis
nozzle,
Foam sprayer,
Neutral car wash
1. Apply neutral car wash with the foam sprayer. Always start
from the bottom and work upwards. Let neutral car wash act
for at least 5 min.
2. Wash the car with the car nozzle, which has been optimized for
quick and gentle cleaning of enamelled surfaces (the jet is wider
and not so sharp). Start at the front of the car and work backwards to avoid water from penetrating by the door mouldings.
3. Use the brush for removal of traffi c fi lm which is not removed by the
nozzle. If the car is very dirty, apply neutral car wash again.
4. Attach the undercarriage nozzle and clean undercarriage and
wheel arches.
5. Remove water from the surface of the car with the squeegee
on the car brush. Make sure that all grains of sand etc. have
been removed before using the squeegee. Wipe with a wash
leather where the squeegee cannot reach.
Rims, alu-
minium
Rim brush,
auto nozzle,
atomizer,
alloy cleaning
Apply alloy cleaning agent with an automizer. Let it act for approx.
5 min. and wash with the rim brush. For steel rims, use neutral
car wash. Use the foam sprayer and wash with rim brush.
Be careful! The high pressure jet may damage the tyres.
Wash towards outlets or the like. On surfaces with moss or al-
gae you may start by applying Neutral detergent with the foam
sprayer. Wash before the soap dries. Another more effective and
quicker method is to use the Patio Cleaner. Thus you will also
avoid splashes.
Apply Wood Cleaner and wash before the soap dries.
Same method as for fl agstones, but be careful - bad joints and
wood may be damaged by high pressure. You may choose only
to use the Tornado
®
nozzle. Adjust the distance (pressure) to
the quality of the joints and the wood. Patio Cleaner can also be
used on vertical surfaces.
