4.0Using your 30CA Applications and some suggestions

4.1Typical applications

Among the most common applications for the ALTO 30CA are:

Agriculture	Cleaning and/or sanitizing machinery, implements and livestock areas
Transportation	Cleaning trucks, buses, cars, shop areas and equipment spaces

Light industries	Cleaning/degreasing equipment and shop areas.

Services	Building and kitchen cleaning. Walks, drives and awnings.

Domestic use	Autos, motorcycles, campers, boats, trailers, concrete/brick/stone,
	woodwork, roof/gutters, windows, greenhouses, barbecues, garden
	furniture, and many others.

4.2 Working pressure

Your ALTO 30CA can be adjusted for virtually any pressure up to its rated working pressure, with a simple twist of the knob atop the spray lance.

Low pressure	Provides lower pressures and/or activates the internal detergent injector.
	Useful in tight spaces or around sensitive equipment.

High pressure	Provides maximum mechanical cleaning action resulting from water jet
	impact.
	Loosens soil and assists detergent action. Stops detergent injection.

In-between	Allows matching the output to specific task requirements.

4.3 Detergents

A vast number of detergents and other chemicals (such as degreasers and disinfectants) are available for use with pressure washers. Selection will depend primarily upon the task at hand, though environmental considerations must enter into a responsible decision, as well.

Your ALTO Distributor or a local chemical company will be able to provide you with guidance.

It is important to follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions regarding use of their chemical! Use only as strong a solution as is necessary to accomplish the job. Using more than is necessary is costly. A rule of thumb is that, »If it looks like you’re getting enough soap, you’re using too much«»

4.4 Operating suggestions

In cleaning operations using detergents or other solutions, it is generally best to use the following method:

Step 1 Low pressure application of solution to a dry surface

Step 2 Wait while the solution works (an important step)

Step 3 High pressure agitation, and rinse

Some general advice:

1)Cleaning solutions generally work best when applied to dry surfaces. Make sure solution is being sprayed before pointing the machine at the surface being cleaned.

2)Do not allow the solution to “dry back”

3)When working on vertical surfaces, apply solution from the bottom up to help prevent streaking which can result from high concentrations of solution running down a narrow, dry path to the ground.

4)Manipulate the spray lance so that water from the high pressure cleaning operation does not „rinse“ areas still uncleaned, prematurely. Wash from the bottom up.
