5.4 Safety devices
- Starter device (H)
The starter device prevents accidental use of the appliance.
Warning - 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.
- Overload cutout: stops the appliance in case of overload.
6
6.1 Assembly
Warning - danger!
All installation and assembly operations must be per-
formed with the appliance disconnected from the mains power
supply.
The assembly sequence is illustrated in g.2.
6.2 Fitting the pressure release caps (on models with this feature)
To prevent oil leaks, the appliance is delivered with the oil intakes
sealed with red caps which must be replaced with the pressure
release caps supplied.
6.3 Fitting the rotating nozzle
(For models with this feature).
The rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power.
Use of the rotating nozzle may cause a 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.
6.4 Electrical connection
Warning - danger!
Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency
(V-Hz) correspond to those specied on the data plate (g.2).
6.4.1 Use of extension cables
Use cables and plugs with "IPX5" protection level.
The cross-section of the extension cable should be pro-
portionate to its length; the longer it is, the greater its
cross-section should be. See table 1.
6.5 Water supply connection
Warning - danger!
Only clean or ltered water should be supplied to
the appliance. The ow rate of the water inlet tap should be
equal to the pump ow rate.
Place the appliance as close to the water supply system as possible.
6.5.1 Connection points
Water outlet (OUTLET)
Water inlet with lter (INLET)
6.5.2 Connection to the mains water supply
The appliance may only be connected directly to the
mains drinking water supply 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 Ø 13 mm, that
it is reinforced and that it is not more than 25 m long.
6.5.3 Suction of water from open containers
1) Screw the inlet hose with lter to the water INLET and
insert it down to the bottom of the container.
2) Vent the air from the appliance:
a) Unscrew the lance.
b) Start the appliance and keep the gun open until there
are no air bubbles in the water owing out.
3) Switch the appliance o and screw the lance back on.
N.B.: the maximum suction height is 0.5 m. The suction
hose should be lled before use.
7
7.1 Adjusting the spray nozzle (for models with this feature)
Water ow is adjusted by regulating the nozzle (E).
11

7.2 Adjusting the detergent
To deliver detergent at the correct pressure, set the nozzle (E)
(where tted) on " " or t the detergent kit (C13) (where available)
as shown.
The quantity of detergent delivered is adjusted using the regulator (F).
7.3 Adjusting the working pressure (on models with this feature)
The regulator (G) is used to adjust the working pressure. The pres-
sure is shown on the pressure gauge (where tted).
8
8.1 Controls
- Starter device (H).
Set the starter switch on (ON/I) 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.
Set the starter device switch on (OFF/0) to stop the appliance.
If there is a pilot light on the starter device, it should go out.
- Water jet control lever (I).
Warning - danger!
During operation the appliance must be positioned as
shown in g. 4 on a rm, stable surface.
8.2 Start-up (see g. 4)
1) Turn on the water supply tap fully.
2) Release the safety catch (D).
3) Depress the gun trigger for a few seconds and start up the appli-
ance using the starter device (ON/I).
Warning - danger!
Before starting up the appliance check that it is receiv-
ing water correctly; 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-o system:
- when the gun trigger is released the dynamic pressure automati-
cally 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 trigger releasing and
depressing operations must be at least 4-5 seconds apart.
To prevent damage to the appliance, do not allow it to
operate dry and check that it is properly supplied with water.
For models without TSS, to prevent damage to the appliance
due to an increase in water temperature, do not cut o the jet
of water for more than 5 minutes with the appliance running.
8.3 Stopping
1) Set the starter device switch on (OFF/0).
2) Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual pressure
inside the pipes.
3) Engage the safety catch (D).
8.4 Restarting
1) Release the safety catch (D).
2) Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual air inside
the pipes.
3) Set the starter device on (ON/I).
8.5 Storage
1) Turn o the water supply tap.
2) Discharge the residual pressure from the gun until all the water
has come out of the appliance.
3) Switch the appliance o (OFF/0).
4) Remove the plug from the socket.
5) Drain and wash out the detergent tank at the end of the working ses-
sion. To wash out the tank, use clean water instead of the detergent.
6) Engage the gun safety catch (D).
8.6 Relling and using detergent
The detergent must be delivered using the accessories and by
the procedures described in point 7.3.
Use of a high pressure hose longer than the one originally supplied
with the appliance, or the use of an additional hose extension, may
reduce or completely halt the suction of detergent.
Fill the tank (B6) with highly biodegradable detergent.
8.7 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 minute 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 cleaning
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 (e.g. tyres,
ination valves, etc..).
Eective cleaning depends on both the pressure and volume of the
water used, to the same degree.
9
Any maintenance operations not covered by this chapter should be
carried out by an Authorised Sales and Service Centre.
Warning - danger!
Always disconnect the plug from the power socket
before carrying out any work on the appliance.
9.1 Cleaning the nozzle
1) Disconnect the lance from the nozzle.
2) Remove any dirt deposits from the nozzle hole using the tool (C1).
9.2 Cleaning the lter
Inspect the inlet lter (L) and detergent lter (if tted) before each
use, and clean in accordance with the instructions if necessary.
9.3 Unjamming the motor (on models with this feature)
In case of lengthy stoppages, limescale sediments may cause the
motor to seize. To unjam the motor, turn the drive shaft with a
tool (M).
9.4 Relling the oil (for models with this feature)
Add oil through the intake hole to restore the correct level.
For oil characteristics, refer to the “Oil characteristics” table.
9.5 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.
10
Store the accessories as shown in g. 5.
Transport the machine as shown in g. 5.
