The heart of the machine is its boiler and burner assembly supplied by the world-renowned
manufacturer, Lamborghini Caloreclima. The highest quality of the combustion system
and low Diesel oil consumption provide for even faster return on investment. Additional
16.6 – 36.6 kW power regulation has made it possible for us to achieve working pressure in the
range of 12 - 16 bar.

associated therewith.
Guidelines and recommendations contained in this Manual must be properly understood and obeyed if the condition of the
Just as in case of most mechanical machines, all relative safety precautions must be observed while operating and servicing
the machine. Failure to observe this Operating Manual and recommendations contained in it may lead to injury or damage to
the machine or other objects situated nearby. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that it is not possible to present any
exhaustive guidelines or recommendations, which would make it possible to completely eliminate risks during its operation
or maintenance, and while handling or using chemical products that this machine has been designed to process. In case of
special applications and working conditions, some additional safety precautions can turn out to be necessary, which are not
discussed in this document. In such non-discussed cases, the user should obey generally adopted safety rules.
Before starting and operating the machine, please read this Operating Manual thoroughly.
This Operating Manual should be stored for later use or for the successive owner.
This machine heats up to high temper-
atures! Protective gloves and protec-
tive goggles must be worn while oper-
ating the machine.
During operation, hearing protectors
must be worn!

CLEANING
Holding the gun in both hands, press the trigger. Note: high
pressure results in gun recoil when its trigger is pressed. Be
careful! Work using both hands. Pull the hose, do not pull
the gun! Do not pull the gun by the hose!
While moving from one area to another, never pull the gun,
as this may lead to the connection of the hose with the gun
or the gun itself getting damaged.
Direct the steam jet towards the surface being cleaned,
making sure to keep a safe distance of 10 cm between the
gun nozzle and the surface being cleaned.
In case of heavy soiling, use the “wet steam” function
that is activated using the orange arrow marked button.
Steam being fed using the cleaning gun will additionally
contain water mist.
15
In order to remove heavy soiling, it may be required to use
some detergent together with steam jet. Before activating

label.
NOTE: Failure to obey this sequence may lead to detergent
pump getting damaged!
It is not recommended to
use high-foam and acid pH
reaction formulations.
On the screen, activate Detergent feeding, using the button
that is marked with the orange arrow.
Upon completion of work, close the steam supply valves to
the hoses, remove the steam that remains inside hoses by
pressing the gun’s trigger, and then disconnect the hoses
