INFORMATION ON USE OF THE
APPLIANCE (FIG.4)/PAGE 4
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 fi g. 4 on a fi rm,
stable surface.
Start-up (see fi 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 appliance using the starter device
(ON/I).
Warning - danger!
Before starting up the appliance check
that it is receiving 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
fl 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 auto-
matic 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 off the jet of water for
more than 5 minutes with the appliance running.
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).
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).
Storage
1) Turn off 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 off (OFF/0).
4) Remove the plug from the socket.
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 (D).
Refi lling and using detergent
The detergent must be delivered using the ac-
cessories 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 deter-
gent.
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 fi 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, infl ation valves, etc..).
Effective cleaning depends on both the pressure
and volume of the water used, to the same degree.
