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.

Cleaning the nozzle

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).
