rities. If there is a risk of running sands in the inlet
water (i.e. from your own well), an additional filter
should be mounted.
Safety precautions
WARNING! High pressure jets
can be dangerous. Never direct
the water jet at persons, pets, live
electrical equipment or the ma-
chine itself.
The operator and anyone in the
immediate vicinity of the site of cleaning should
take action to protect themselves from being
struck by debris dislodged during operation. Wear
goggles during operation.
Never try to clean clothes or footwear on yourself
or other persons.
Do not let children or people who have not read

advise you to carefully read through this instruction
manual. Follow all instructions to minimize the risk
of injuries when using the machine.

faultless and without any cracks. If the electric
cable is damaged, it should be replaced by an
authorized ALTO distributor.

the high pressure washer to the electric installation:
Only connect the machine to an installation with
earth connection.
The electric installation shall be made by a cer-
tified electrician.
It is strongly recommended that the electric sup-
ply to this machine should include a residual
current device (GFCI).

please take the following advice:
Wash out water hose, high pressure hose, spray
lance and accessories before mounting.
Clean the connectors of dust and sand.
Rinse the detergent spraying attachment after
use.
Any repair should always be made in an authorised
workshop with original spare parts.
4.1 Cleaning of nozzle
A clogging up in the nozzle causes a pump pres-
sure which is too high. This is why cleaning is re-
quired immediately.
1. Stop the machine and disconnect the nozzle.
2. Clean the nozzle. IMPORTANT: The cleaning
tool should only be used when the spray lance is
detached!
3. Flush the spray lance backwards with water.
4.2 Cleaning of water inlet filter
Clean the water inlet filter (4a) regularly once a
month or more frequently according to use. Care-
fully loosen the filter with a screwdriver and clean it.
Check that it is intact before re-mounting it.
The inlet filter must always be fitted inside the water
inlet pipe to filter out sand, limestone and other
impurities, as they will damage the pump valves.
CAUTION: Failure to fit the filter will invalidate the
guarantee.
4.3 Cleaning of machine vents
The machine should be kept clean so as to let cool-
ing air pass freely through the machine vents.
5.0 Storage EN
The machine should be stored in a frost-free
room!
Pump, hose and accessories should always be
emptied of water prior to storing as follows:
1. Stop the machine (press the On/Off switch "O"
and detach water hose and accessory.
2. Restart the machine and activate the trigger. Let
the machine run until no more water runs through
the spray handle.

sure hose.
Should the machine by mistake be frozen, it will be
necessary to check it for damage.
NEVER START-UP A FROZEN MACHINE.
Frost damages are not covered by the
