3 Before starting the machine
3.1 Fuel and air mixture
Every fuel-burning appliance, such as pressure washers, depends upon a proper mix of fuel
and air (by weight) for proper combustion.Thereforesomeadjustment of the air supply to the
burner may be necessary to take account and the resulting air pressure.This is true whether
your fuel is ‘Natural gas’, Propane or Diesel.
Your hot water pressure washer was thoroughly tested and adjusted for optimum performance
before it left our factory.
If your location is higher than 1200m (3900 ft) above sea level, your burner may require
re-adjustment for proper performance and best fuel economy. Contact your local Dealer
for assistance.
3.2 Fill up fuel tanks
With the machine cold and turned off:
1. Fill burner tank from a clean container with fresh diesel fuel
2. Fill engine tank from a clean container with fresh gas.
Use clean fuel only, free of moisture and contamination.
Contact your dealer for fuel source and type
recommendations.
Maximum storage time in high pressure
cleaner diesel tank: 1 month.
Fuel stored externally for more than 6
months is not allowed to be filled into high
pressure cleaners.
NOTE!
At temperatures below 46°F the fuel oil begins to solidify (paraffin precipitation). This
can lead to difficulties in starting the burner. Before the winter months it is
recommended that a fuel conditioner/stabilizer be added (available from the fuel oil
trade). Filling up the engine with fuel, see the enclosed instructions for the engine.
3.3 Connecting the pressure hose
1. Connect the high pressure hose quick connector to the high pressure nipple.
3.4 Connecting the water
1. Attach hose coupling to the
water supply hose.
2. Rinse the water supply hose
briefly in order to prevent
sand and other dirt particles
entering into the machine.
3. Attach hose coupling to inlet.
4. Open water supply faucet.
NOTE!
In the case of poor water quality
(sand, etc.), it is recommended that
an inlet water filter be installed.
Water supply hose should be a
reinforced hose and have a
minimum inside diameter of
3/4" (19 mm).

5Applications and methods
5.1 Techniques
5.1.1 Soaking
5.1.2 Detergent and Foam
5.1.3 Temperature
5.1.4 Mechanical Effect
5.1.5 High Water Flow or
High Pressure
Efficient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few
guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of specific
cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen,
can increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here is some
basic information about cleaning.
Encrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up by a
period of soaking. This is for example an ideal method within
agriculture –for example, within pig sties. The ideal soaking method
can be achieved by using foam or simple alkaline detergent. Let the
product lie on the dirty surfaces for about 30 minutes before
pressure washing. The result will be a much quicker high pressure
cleaning process.
Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the
chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are
applied from bottom to top, for example on a automobile bodywork,
in order to avoid “super clean”areas, where the detergent may
collect in higher concentrations and streams downwards. Let the
detergent work for several minutes before rinsing and never let it dry
on the surface being cleaned.
Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils
and fats can be broken down more effectively at higher
temperatures also. Proteins can be cleaned at temperatures of
around 60°C (140°F). Oils and traffic film around 70°C (158°F), and
grease can be cleaned at 80°-90°C (176-194°F).
In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical
effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes
offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt.
High pressure is not always the best solution and may also damage
surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water flow.
Pressure levels of around 100 bar (1450 psi) may be sufficient for
vehicle cleaning (in association with hot water) and higher flow
levels give the ability to rinse and flush away large amounts of dirt
easily.

5.2 Some typical cleaning tasks
5.2.1 Agriculture
Task Accessories Method
Stables
Pig Pens, Sties Chemical Foam Injectors 1. Soaking –apply foam to all surfaces (bottom to top)
and wait for approx. 30minutes.
2. Remove the dirt from surfaces with the high
pressure lance or chosen accessory. Again,clean
from bottom to top on vertical surfaces.
3. Toflush away large quantities of dirt, change to low
pressure mode and use the higher flow to push
away the dirt.
4. Use recommended disinfectant products and
methods to ensure hygiene. Apply disinfectant
once the surfaces are perfectly clean.

Machinery Detergent injection 1. Apply detergent to vehicle or equipment surfaces in
order to soften up dirt and grime. Apply from bottom
to top.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure
lance. Clean again from bottom to top. Use
accessories to clean in diffi cult to reach places.
3. Clean fragile areas such as motors, rubber at lower
pressure levels to avoid damage.

washers brushes
Detergents
1. Apply detergent to vehicle or equipment surfaces in
order to soften up dirt and grime. Apply from bottom
to
top. In cases of particularly dirty vehicles, pre-spray
with a recommended dealer product in order to
remove traces of insects etc, then rinse at low
pressure and apply normal car cleaning detergent.
Let detergents settle for 5 minutes before cleaning off.
Metallic surfaces can be cleaned using a
recommended dealer product.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance.
Clean again from bottom to top. Use accessories to
clean in difficult to reach places. Use brushes in order
to add a mechanical cleaning effect. Short lances can
help for cleaning of motors and wheel arches.
Undercarriage washers can be valuable for the
cleaning of car underchassis and wheel arches.
3. Clean fragile areas such as motors, rubber at lower
pressure levels to avoid damage.
4.
Apply a liquid wax using the pressure washer in order
to protect the bodywork from pollution.

5.2.3 Buildings and Equipment
Task Accessories Method
General surfaces
Metallic equipment
Foam injectors
Standard lance
Tank cleaning
head
Disinfectant
1. Apply thick foam over the surfaces to be cleaned.
Apply on dry surfaces. Apply from top to bottomon
vertical surfaces. Let the foam act for up to 30
minutes for the optimal effect.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure
lance. Use applicable accessories. Use high
pressure to dislodge large amounts of encrusted dirt
or grime. Use lower pressure and high water volume
in order to rapidly flush away loose dirt and rinse
surfaces.
3. Apply disinfectant once the surfaces are perfectly
clean.
Areas covered by amounts of loose dirt, such as animal
remains in slaughterhouses, can be removed by using
high water fl ow to flush away the dirt to evacuation pits
or drains.
Tank cleaning heads can be used to clean barrels, vats,
mixing tanks etc. Cleaning heads may be hydraulically
or electrically powered and give the possibility for
automatic cleaning without a constant user.
These are merely several examples of cleaning tasks that can be solved by a pressure washer in association with
accessoriesanddetergents.Eachcleaningtaskisdifferent.Pleaseconsultyourlocaldealerorqualifiedrepresentative
in order to discuss the best solution for your own cleaning tasks.

position.
2. Activate spray handle for 1 minute
minimum on cold water to cool
down system.
3. Turn "OFF" engine.
4. Close water tap.
5. Activate spray handle until the
washer is depressurised.
6. Lock the safety catch on the spray
handle.
6.2 Storing / frost protection
It is advisable to store the machine in a
frost proof place between operations. If
this is not possible the machine should
be protected in the following way:
1. Disconnect the water inlet hose.
Remove the nozzle andempty it of
water.
2. Start the machine allowing it to run
with the spray handle opened until it
is empty of water.
3. Place a suction hose in a bucket
with 6-8 liters (1.5-2 gallons)
anti-freeze.
4. Place the spray handle (without
spray nozzle) above the bucket,
activate the spray handle so that the
anti-freeze can circulate.
5. Place the spray handle above the
opening of the anti-freeze container
and allow the machine to pump all of
the solution back into the anti-freeze
container. The anti-freeze can be re-
used, but keep in mind that it is slightly
diluted with water each time this is
done.
Important:
To avoid damage always ensure that
the washer, the hoses and the spray
lance are unfrozen before restarting.
Place the washer and the accessories
in a warm environment for some time
before starting up.
