4TECHNICAL INFORMATION (see data plate)
4.1 Envisaged use
This appliance has been designed for individual use for the cleaning
of vehicles, machines, boats, masonry, etc, to remove stubborn dirt
using clean water and biodegradable chemical detergents.
Vehicle engines may be washed only if the dirty water is disposed
of as per regulations in force.
- Intake water temperature: MAX 40°C
- Intake water pressure: min. 0,1 MPa-max 1MPa.
- Operating ambient temperature: above 0°C.
The appliance is compliant with the EN 60335-2-79/A1 standard.

4.4 Main components
B1 Adjustable spray nozzle
B2 Lance
B3 Gun with safety catch
B4 Power supply cable with plug
B5 High pressure hose
B6 Detergent tank (on models with this feature)
4.5 Safety devices
Caution - Danger!
Do not tamper with or adjust the safety valve setting.
- Safety valve and/or pressure limiting valve.
The safety valve is also a pressure limiting valve.
When the gun trigger is released, the valve opens and the water
recirculates through the pump inlet or is discharged onto the
ground.
- Thermostat valve (D1 where tted)
If the water temperature exceeds the temperature set by the
manufacturer, the thermostat valve discharges the hot water and
draws in an amount of cold water equal to the amount of water
discharged, until the correct temperature is restored.
- Safety catch (D): prevents accidental spraying of water.
5INSTALLATION (FIG.2) (A-B-C-D)
5.1 Assembly
Caution - Danger!
All installation and assembly operations must be
performed with the appliance disconnected from the
mains power supply.
The assembly sequence is illustrated in g.1
5.2 Assembling the rotating nozzle
(For models with this feature)
The rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power.
Use of the rotating nozzle may cause of reduction in pressure of
25% compared to the pressure obtained with the adjustable nozzle.
However, the rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power due
to the rotation of the water jet.
5.3 Electrical connection
Caution - Danger!
Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency
(V-Hz) correspond to those specied on the appliance
data plate. The appliance should only be connected to a mains
power supply equipped with an adequate earth connection and
a differential security breaker (30 mA) to cut off the electricity
supply in the instance of a short circuit.
5.3.1 Use of extension cables
Use cables featuring “IPX5” protection level.
The cross-section of the extension cable should be
proportionate to its length; the longer it is, the greater its
cross-section should be. See table I.
5.4 Water supply connection
Caution - Danger!
Only clean or ltered water should be used for intake.
The delivery of the water intake tap should be equal to
that of pump capacity.
Place the appliance as close to the water supply system as
possible.
5.4.1 Connection points
Water outlet (OUTLET)
Water inlet with lter (INLET)

EN - 10
English
5.4.2 Connection to the mains water supply
The appliance can be connected directly to the mains
drinking water supply only if the supply hose is tted with
a backow preventer valve as per current regulations in
force. Make sure that the hose is at least Ф 13 mm and
that it is reinforced.
6ADJUSTMENT INFORMATION FIG.3 (L-J-K)
6.1 Adjusting the spray nozzle (for models with this feature)
Water ow is adjusted by regulating the nozzle (3A).
6.2 Adjusting the detergent pressure
Set the adjustable nozzle on “fanspray” to deliver detergent at the
correct pressure (on models with this feature).
7INFORMATION ON USE OF THE APPLIANCE (FIG.2)
7.1 Controls
- Starter device (Fig.2C-7)
Set the starter switch on (ON/1) to;
a) start the motor (in models without TSS device);
b) set the motor ready to start (in models with TSS device).
If there is a pilot light on the starter device, it should light up.
If the “low/high” settings are available, use them as follows:
Low: low pressure washing
High: high pressure washing
Set the starter device switch off (OFF/0) to shut down the appliance.
If there is a pilot light on the starter device, it should go out
- Water jet control lever (I).
Caution - Danger!
During operation the appliance must be positioned as
shown in g. 4 on a sturdy, stable surface.
7.2 Start-up
1) Turn on the water supply tap fully.
2) Release the safety catch (Fig.2-D).
3) Depress the gun trigger for a few seconds and start up the
appliance using the starter device (ON/1).
Caution - Danger!
Before starting up the appliance check that the
water supply hose is connected properly; use of
the appliance without water will damage it; do not cover the
ventilation grilles when the appliance is in use.
TSS models - In TSS models with automatic delivery ow cut-off
system:
- when the gun trigger is released the dynamic pressure
automatically cuts out the motor;
- when the gun trigger is depressed the automatic drop in
pressure starts the motor and the pressure is restored after a
very slight delay;
- if the TSS is to function correctly all gun releasing and
depressing operations must be performed at intervals of less
than 4-5 seconds.
On three-phase models for professional use, at rst use start the
appliance for a very short time to check that the motor is running
in the correct direction. If the motor fan is turning anti-clockwise,
exchange two of the three phase wires (L1, L2, L3) in the electrical
plug.
To prevent damage to the appliance, do not allow it to operate
dry and when running do not stop the water jet for more than
10 minutes at a time (for models without TSS device).
7.3 Stopping the appliance
1) Set the starter device switch off (OFF/0).
2) Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual pressure
inside the hoses.
3) Engage the gun safety catch (Fig.2-D).
7.4 Restarting
1) Release the safety catch (Fig.2-D).
2) Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual air inside the
hoses.
3) Set the starter device on (ON/1).
7.5 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 (Fig.2-D).
7.6 Relling and using detergent
When using detergent, the adjustable nozzle must be set on
“fan spray” (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.
7.7 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 nest adjustable
nozzle jet setting or the rotating nozzle should not be used on
delicate or painted parts, or on pressurised components (eg tyres,
ination valves, etc).
Effective washing depends on both the pressure and volume of the
water used, to the same degree.
8MAINTENANCE (FIG.4-N)
Any maintenance operations not covered by this chapter should be
carried out by an Authorized Sales and Service Centre.
Caution - Danger!
Always disconnect the plug from the power socket
before carrying out any work on the appliance.
8.1 Cleaning the nozzle
1) Disconnect the lance from the nozzle
2) Remove any dirt deposits from the nozzle hole using the tool
(N-2).
8.2 Cleaning the lter
Inspect the intake lter and detergent lter (if tted) before each
use, and clean in accordance with the instructions if necessary.
8.3 Unjamming the motor (on models with this feature)
In case of lengthy stoppages, lirnescale sediments may cause the
motor to seize To unjam the motor, turn the drive shaft with a tool.
8.4 End-of-season storage
Treat the appliance with non-corrosive, non-toxic antifreeze before
storing it away for winter.
Put the appliance in a dry place, protected from frost.
