2. General outline
3. Machine identification
The machine is exclusively meant for washing and cleaning with hot or
cold water surfaces apt to being treated with mechanical high pressure jet
system and subject to eventual chemical action of detergents. Before
using the cleaner, make sure that the identification plate is fixed on the
machine; if the plate is missing, please don’t use the machine and contact
immediately your dealer. Don’t leave the machine unattended in your work
environment. After the daily use, it is recommended to keep the cleaner in
a dry place protected from bad weather conditions.

5. Safety instructions
Make sure that the machine is constantly supplied with water.
Dry working would cause serious damages to the cleaner seal system.
• Electrical connections must be carried out by skilled/trained
personnel only.
• Never pull the power cord to disconnect the plug nor pull the hose
to move the machine.
• Don’t leave the machine in low temperature and protect it from frost
and general bad weather conditions.
• Avoid vehicles transit on the high pressure hose.
• While the machine is running do not cover it and avoid placing it where
there’s low air supply.
• If you are working indoors, it’s compulsory to install a fan to discharge
the exhaust gases outside.
• The fan terminal must not be obstructed. Don’t leave the lance or any
other object near the exhaust outlet.
• The nature of the gases as well as the high temperature are to be
considered very dangerous, the operator must thus be adequately
informed in order to avoid being scalded.
• Don’t leave the machine outside when it rains or when the weather
conditions are bad.
• The operators must wear protection clothes while using the machine.
• Don’t use the machine under the rain or in case of storms.
• Do not leave the machine for more than 5 minutes working with the gun
closed, the water temperature would increase rapidly causing serious
damages to the seal system.
• Each time the cleaner has to be switched off blow off the hose residual
pressure by using the gun.
• Do not use fuels different from the ones suggested by the manufacturer.

5. Safety instructions
• Don’t carry out any operation on the machine before unplugging it.
• Don’t carry out any unwary operation on the electric cable and make
sure the same is not damaged.
• Never direct the high pressure water jet towards people, animals,
electrical installations or the machine itself.
• Use always only clean water. Dirty water and chemical corrosive
products are harmful for the machine.
• When using an extension make sure the plugs have an IP65 type
protection and that the cable is according to the table mentioned
here under:
EXTENSION LENGTH CABLE SECTION mm2
Up to 20 mt 2.5
From 20 mt to 50 mt 4
WARNING!
HW120 Manual.qxd:Layout 1 21/7/08 10:23 Page 7

The cleaner you are about to use will operate at it’s best if all instructions
are duly followed. Before turning on the machine, make sure it is perfectly
horizontal on a firm level surface.
Connect the high pressure hose A,
to the gun B, and with the other side
of the hose to the intake fitting, fixing
tightly the fastening nut C(Fig. 1).
Connect the water supply hose E, to
the infeed fitting F. It is recommended
to use a reinforced hose having an
inner diameter of at least 10mm.The
water intake must be at a pressure of
1 bar minimum and have a max inlet
temperature of 60°C. (fig. 2)
Fill the fuel tank G, with fuel (diesel)

After having installed the machine it can be turned on the water supply.
Push the start button Iand open the lever Lof the gun for a few seconds
in order to eliminate the air inside the hose. When starting the machine
for the first time it’s necessary to operate it without the nozzle in order
to permit the outlet of dirt and air from the pump, afterwards replace
the nozzle.
The use of water is obtained pressing the start switch I, the pump starts
working then press the lever of the gun L. Hot water is obtained by
pressing the switch I, then adjusting to the approprate temperature
required on the thermostat M, press the gun’s lever L and the burner will
turn on producing hot water at the desired temperature.
Once having operated the machine with hot water and before turning it off,
let it run with cold water for a couple of minutes. The pressure is adjusted
by the manufacturer at 120 Bar and must not be changed for any reason.
The detergent is applied by introducing filter Oof the detergent into a
suitable container P, by
adjusting the knob R, the
amount of detergent is
controlled through the lance.
At the end of the working
day, switch off the machine
and turn the water supply
off. Press the lever on the
gun to remove the residual
pressure from the hose.
Before turning the
machine off always run with
cold water for a few minutes.
