• All current carrying components in the working area must be protected
against water sprays.
• Never touch the plugs with wet hands.
• We recommend that a differential magnetothermic switch with 30mA
sensitivity is installed before the power outlet or in the electric instal-
lation.
• The guarantee is not valid in case of faulty electric installation.
6.8 Intended use
• Use the appliance to clean machines, vehicles, buildings etc. (as long
as not connected to the electric power).
• Clean facades, patios, garden implements etc. with the high pressure
spray only, i.e. without detergent. We recommend the rotating nozzle - a
special accessory - for concentrated dirt
• Engines must only be cleaned in places that have appropriate oil traps
(protection of environment).
• If the machine is used at petrol stations or hazardous areas, safety
regulations must be observed.
Use of the appliance in inhabited areas or working places must be done
in conformity with noise regulation rules.
7 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 Operating with cold water
• Set the thermostat to pos. STOP.
• Insert the plug in the socket after having checked the voltage.
• Set the pump switch to ON position (blue switch)
7.2 Venting the appliance
• Open the water intake.
• Ensure that detergent knob is closed.
• Allow the appliance to run without the high pressure hose until the
water runs out airless.
• Then connect the high pressure hose.
• If the spray lance and high pressure nozzle have already been fitted
to the high pressure hose, you can vent the appliance as follows :
with the spray gun open, switch the appliance on and off several
times at intervals of 10 seconds until the water runs out from the high
pressure hose airless.
7.3 High pressure nozzle
• The effectiveness of the high pressure jet depends to a great extent
on the spray angle. A 25° fan jet nozzle (included in standard delivery)
is generally used.
• Different nozzles are available as accessories.
0° full jet nozzle
(for very concentrated dirt)
40° fan jet nozzle
(for delicate surfaces)
Rotating nozzle
(for thick layers of dirt)
The water jet may be dangerous due to its force
Variable angle nozzle
With adjustable spray angle.
• At first always direct the high pressure jet from a greater distance at
the object to be cleaned, preventing in this way damage from exces-
sive pressure.
• A protective visor should be worn in case of sandblasting.
7.4 Adjusting the operating pressure and flow rate
• You can adjust the operating pressure and flow rate progressively
as follows :
-Screwing the adjusting knob to obtain higher pressure and flow rate.
-Unscrewing the adjusting knob to obtain lower pressure and flow rate.
7.5 Operating with hot water
• Set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
30 - 50°C for light dirt
60 - 90°C for cleaning vehicles, machines...
• Set the burner switch to the ON position (red switch)
7.6 Operating with steam
• Set the thermostat to 150°C
English
Rotate anti clockwise the steam knob (or rotate to the lowest value the
unloader valve knob, depending on the model).
• We recommend the following cleaning temperatures:
100 - 110°C for concentrated/greasy dirt, dewaxing
up to 140°C for dissolution of additives, and in some cases for cleaning
building façades.
7.7 Operating with detergent
• Fill the detergent tank
• Adjust the detergent dosage knob to the desired concentration.
• For high pressure suction (PR version) adjust the detergent dosage
knob to the desired concentration.
• For low pressure suction (VR version), after having set the detergent
dosage knob to the desired concentration, adjust the regulating nozzle
head, lowering the pressure.
• After having used the detergent, close the detergent dosage knob,
and rinse for a minute the whole water circuit, keeping the gun open.
• In order to protect the environment, a limited use of detergent is
recommended.
Unsuitable detergents can damage the appliance and what is being
cleaned.
• We recommend the following cleaning method:
Step 1 : Spray on detergent and let it react for 1 - 5 minutes to dissolve
the dirt.
Step 2 : Spray off the dissolved dirt with the high pressure jet.
7.8 Interrupting operation (TSM - TSA version)
• If you release the trigger of the spray gun, the appliance will stop
spraying.
• If the trigger is pulled again, the appliance will start spraying.
7.9 Switching off the appliance
• Set the thermostat to the STOP position, turn the burner switch off.
• Let the water pump run until the burner heating coil has cooled off.
• Switch the appliance OFF and unplug.
• Close the water intake.
• Pull the gun trigger until the appliance is depressurized.
Secure the gun trigger with its safety device to prevent accidental
opening.
