4.4 Working methods

Your high pressure washer has been developed for cleaning according to the so-called »2-step method«.
However, your high pressure washer must be equipped with an external detergent injector (see accesso-
ries catalogue).
STEP 1 Application of detergent
STEP 2 High pressure cleaning
In practice the working process is laid down in accordance with the actual job, but as a starting point the
following working method can be described for a job:
1. Apply detergent under low pressure. The dosage is chosen according to the job, which is to be carried
through, and the adjustment is made on the dosing unit.
2. Await acting time. Let the detergent act on the dirt/surface for a short time prior to pressure cleaning
- usually a few minutes.
3. High pressure cleaning. Clean all surfaces under high pressure.
4. Rinse afterwards, if necessary. To make sure that residual impurities are removed from the surface.
In connection with the working process the optimum cleaning will be reached by following these 3 pieces of
advice:
Advice no. 1
When using a detergent, usually alway apply it on a dry surface. If the surface is rinsed with water at first, it
may be difficult for it to absorb the detergent, and the result is a reduced effect of the detergent.
Advice no. 2
When applying a detergent on large vertical surfaces (i.e. the sides of a truck) work from below and up-
wards. Thus you will avoid the detergent running off the surface through grooves and dark streaks appe-
aring on the surface whilst cleaning.
Advice no. 3
During the high pressure cleaning you should work so that the high pressure water does not run over the
surface which has not been cleaned yet. This is to ensure that there is sufficient detergent on the surface
when the high pressure water hits the surface.

5.0 The environmental policy of ALTO

ALTO has made it a natural part of the concept of the company to reduce the effect on our environment as
much as possible. This plan is effected through a constant development in all branches of the company so
that the greatest number of elements in our high pressure
washers affects the environment to a minimum.
This product too is characterised by the attitude of ALTO towards our environment.
For the production of this high pressure washer the latest production technique within a cleaner technology
has been applied. The consumption of unnecessary subsidiary materials has been minimized and during
the final test of the product the test water is recycled.
