next precautions:
- Unf old the hose bef ore starting the operations;
- Do not pull the eventual knots, but unfold the hose
- Do not crush or fold up the hose
- Do not pull the machine by its water hose
Avoid to use the hose in case of blowing or damages in the external covering, never try to
repair the hose and in case of anomalies replace it by using a new one.
ACCESSORIES
In case of use of accessories wich are not in the standard equipment, follow the instructions
attached to the accessories. Verify that accessories comply with the features of the cleaner with
whom they have to be used.
The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for damages caused to the machine
or to the operator by using non-original spare parts.

16
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
If the machine is out of order or in the case of bad operation, immediately
switch off the machine by means of the main switch, and advise the qualified
personnel. Switch off the machine and disconnect the water and electrical
mains and do not effect any repair. Immediately contact qualified personnel.
The repairs must be done by the manufacturer or by an authorised after-
sales center, always using original spare parts.
The following operations must be done to avoid damage to mechanical parts and to keep your
cleaner efficient.
For all maintenance operations on the boiler, the high pressure pump and on the machine in
general, it is necessary to contact qualified personnel or an authorized after-sales center.
Before doing any maintenance on the machine:
1 - Switch off the machine (switch in OFF/O position)
2 - take away the plug from the socket
3 - Close the water tap
4 - Discharge the residual pressure (pull the gun trigger)
1) Check that the oil level is always over the dipstick cut. Change the oil after 50 working
hours, and successively every 500 hours; use oil type SAE 20/30. To check the oil level,
unscrew the handles (FIG. 12) of the machine, and the cap of the
gas-oil tank (FIG. 16), then lift the cover from low to high. Now check that the oil level
inside the high pressure pump covers at least half of the oil window of the pump (or
unscrew the oil cap and verify that the oil covers the lower cut). If the quantity of oil is
not enough, do not start themachine.
2) Do not expose the unit to low
temperatures. Intense cold may
damage the pump and seriously harm
other circuits. In case of long stops in
temperatures lower than 0°C empty
the circuits and intake a small quantity
of antifreeze. Vice versa, high
temperatures may overload the motor
when the machine is operating.
DAMAGES CAUSED BY FREEZE
ARE NOT COVERED BY
WARRANTY
WARNING: The cleaner cannot be opened without the authorization of
the after-sales service.
SAFETY DANGER - LOSS OF WARRANTY

17
3) When the machine has been stored for a long time, there is a possibility of calcium deposits
building up. This could make instant starting difficult. In this case to avoid the consequences
of electrical over charging, before plugging the unit in, we suggest turning the motor shaft
with a screwdriver (important: disconnect the machine before
doing this operation). So you will know the cause of the locking (frost, incrustations, or
others) and you will be able to behave consequently.
4) Never intake corrosive liquids (paints, acids solvents, oily or very thick liquids) which
could permanently damage the pump. To avoid chemical deposits building up we
suggest cleaning the chemical suction kit by sucking water for a few seconds.
5) The cleaning of the boiler must be done each 200 workingh hours as follows:
- disassemble the nozzle and the electrodes holder flange (burner head)
- clean the nozzle filter using compressed air and check the position of the electrodes
- take away the boiler cover and clean the baffle
- slip the inside cover off
- unscrew the locking nuts of the coil and take it off from boiler
- clean the coil using a wire brush
- suck the residue from the boiler
- assemble again all the parts doing the operations on the contrary
- periodically the total check and the combustion regulation must be done by specialized
personnel as prescribed by laws
6) The descaling treatment must be periodically done by using specific products according to
the water hardness.
In a water can of about 15 litres pour one litre of a descaling product type “TM KAL” or “TM
COILS” following the instructions written on the packing. Use a can with tap, connect the tap
to the cleaner water feeding (Fig. 9), keep the can in such a way that the descaling product
enter by drop. Take the gun off from the high pressure hose, immerse the other end of the
hose inside the can, in a way to create a closed circuit and to let the cleaner intake the
descaling product for at least 10 minutes it is advisable that the delivery hose discharge
inside a small cloth bag to avoid to re-cycle the limestone taken away.
Restore the normal connection and rinse with cold water. It’s advisable to get the operation
executed by personnel of the after-sales service center because the descaling product could
damage the components.
For the elimination of the descaling product follow the local laws.
7) From time to time check the wear of electrodes, the right distance from one end to the
other is 3 mm.
8) Replace the high pressure water hose every 2 working years. On the new hose it must
clearly appear the maximum allowed pressure, the producer’s name or the producer’s mark.
Before use verify that the pressure values of the new hose correspond to those of the
machine.
CAUTION: the descaling liquid contains acid substances which could
damage the objects to be cleaned: be sure to have correctly rinsed
them.

18
9) In case the water filter is dirt or clogged, the water quantity is reduced and this could damage
the pump. A lightly damaged filter do not carry on its work causing damages to the pump.
Periodically (at least each 500 working hours) take the filter away and clean it to eliminate
dirt. In case of doubt replace the filter to avoid that foreign matters come into the pump.
10) The clogging of the lance nozzle caused by limestone incrustation or other cause an
excessive increase of the pump pressure, and damage it. It is necessary to clean
periodically the nozzle.
11) Periodically check the gas oil filter and in case it is too dirt or damaged, replace it.
12) In case the electric cable is damaged, replace it by a special cable H07RNF, according to
the electric diagram. The replacement must be done by a specialized electrician.
CLOGGED NOZZLE - BY-PASS VALVE
IMPORTANT!: In case the nozzle is clogged, the cleaner is equipped with a by-pass valve to
automatically control the excess of pressure.
The by-pass valve immediately reduce the pressure, to protect the mechanical parts of the
pump and the motor.
IN CASE THE BY-PASS VALVE IS TAMPERED, THE MOTOR AND THE PUMP COULD BE
PERMANENTLY DAMAGED!
THE BY-PASS VALVE CAN BE REGULATED, CLEANED, REPAIRED OR REPLACED ONLY
BY THE AFTER-SALES CENTER SERVICE.
