Fuel filler Fuel filter Water filter Water inlet Pressure Water outlet Adjustment Attach the lance to the high-pressure hose (1) and the other end to the output connection (Water outlet). Fit the sheath (B) in order to protect the hydraulic connection and to avoid the risk of scalding by contact. The high pressure pump is supplied already full of lubricating oil.
The advantage of wet steam over dry steam is that cleaning is a lot faster. To achieve steam operation with the VSC there are certain very important settings that must be in place: 1. Turn the pressure adjustment knob on your V-TUF pressure washer to lowest pressure possible ( anti-clockwise – see below) Picture 1 2.

Repeat actions 1, 2 and 3 as per cold water use. During operation, the detergent will be sucked up and automatically mixed with the water. Practical Advice Avoid soaking with water the surface you then wish to treat with detergent because, in doing so, you can place a film of water over the area you wish to treat, resulting in poor cleaning results.
TRANSPORT – LIFTING – SHIFTING ATTENTION: Whenever the machine needs to be transported, it should be securely fixed with straps, cables or other suitable equipment in order to avoid accidental movement which could cause damage to people or property as well as to the machine itself. ATTENTION: Should the machine need to be lifted, it should be hooked or coupled by means of strips, or suitable lifting equipment which will safeguard the machine’s integrity.
STORAGE Park the machine on a flat surface. If the machine is not going to be used for an extended period of time, empty the water circuits and the fuel tank then cover the machine and store it in a place protected from atmospheric extremes.
Troubleshooting The pump turns but does not The pump is sucking in air. Check that the piping is watertight. reach the required pressure Run the pump connected to the water supply but without the high- pressure hose connected until you get a strong water stream, then switch off machine and reconnect.
