Tips for operation
The following information and examples
of application make work easier and
contribute to achieving an optimum
cleaning result.
Operating pressure and water
throughput
High pressure dissolves dirt better. The
higher the water throughput, the easier it
is to remove the dirt that has been
loosened.
Clean delicate parts and surfaces (e. g.
car paint, rubber) by applying low
pressure or at a greater distance to
avoid damage. 100 bar pressure is
sufficient for cleaning vehicles.
