7.0 Questions and answers

Why do I have to use an atomizer for some deter- gents?

Some detergents (except from soaps) must be applied undiluted. For that purpose an atomizer or maybe a brush is unique.

Why must the high pressure washer be stored in a frost free room?

The machine may contain water which, when freez- ing, may damage vital parts.

How do I store my high pressure washer in the best possible way?

Always empty the high pressure washer of water by activating the trigger of the spray gun - after having disconnected the water supply. Always detach the high pressure hose (only PRO 130/150/160) and coil it up without bending it.

May I use an ordinary detergent in my high pres- sure washer?

No. You may damage the cleaner and achieve a bad result. The detergents of Nilfisk have been specially developed for use with a high pressure washer and ensures a correct dosage and a quick effect.

Can I do anything special to keep my high pressure washer in a good condition?

Yes, beyond cleaning it carefully before set aside, it will be a good idea to lubricate the couplings now and then with grease or vaseline.
