Storage
1) Switch the appliance off (OFF/0).
2) Remove the plug from the socket.
3) Turn off the water supply tap.
4) Discharge the residual pressure from the gun until all
the water has come out of the nozzle.
5) Drain and wash out the detergent tank at the end of the
working session. To wash out the tank, use clean water
instead of the detergent.
6) Engage the gun safety catch (D).
Refilling and using detergent
When using detergent, the adjustable nozzle must be set on
"-" (on models with this feature).
Use of a high pressure hose longer than the one originally
supplied with the cleaner, or the use of an additional hose
extension, may reduce or completely halt the intake of
detergent.
Fill the tank with highly degradable detergent.
Recommended cleaning procedure
Dissolve dirt by applying the detergent mixed with water to
the surface while still dry.
When dealing with vertical surfaces work from the bottom
upwards.
Leave the detergent to act for 1-2 minutes but do not allow
the surface to dry. Starting from the bottom, use the high
pressure jet at a minimum distance of 30 cm. Do not allow
the rinse water to run onto unwashed surfaces.
In some cases, scrubbing with brushes is needed to remove
dirt.
High pressure is not always the best solution for good
washing results, since it may damage some surfaces. The
finest adjustable nozzle jet setting or the rotating nozzle
should not be used on delicate or painted parts, or on
pressurised components (e.g tyres, inflation valves, etc.).
Effective washing depends on both the pressure and
volume of the water used, to the same degree.
Maintenance (fig.5)
Any maintenance operations not covered by this chapter
should be carried out by an Authorized Sales and Service
Centre.
Caution - Danger!
Always disconnect the plug from the power socket before
carrying out any work on the appliance.
Cleaning the nozzle
1) Disconnect the lance from the nozzle.
2) Remove any dirt deposits from the nozzle hole using the
tool (C1).
Cleaning the filter
Inspect the intake filter (L) and detergent filter (if fitted)
before each use, and clean in accordance with the
instructions if necessary.
Unjamming the motor (on models with this feature)
In case of lengthy stoppages, limescale sediments may
cause the motor to seize. To unjam the motor, turn the drive
shaft with a tool (M).
End-of-season storage
Treat the appliance with non-corrosive, non-toxic antifreeze
before storing it away for winter.
Put the appliance in a dry place, protected from frost.
