Safety precautions and warnings When using detergents, the instructions should always be strictly observed. Always unplug the machine before cleaning or maintenance of the machine. Don’t use the machine if the power cord or important parts of the equipment are damaged - i.e. safety devices, high pressure hoses, spray handles, cabinet.
3.0 Installation 3.1 Water connection The water connection is made through a flexible hose connected to the quick coupling on the water inlet (1) of the machine. The connection can be made to a cold or hot water supply.(max. 160°F). A shut-off cock should be mounted on the water supply near the machine.
3.4 Venting KSA-1 Start In the case of newly installed systems, or if the pipeline and the pump have been drained in any other way, the system should be vented by starting the pump and then let the water run freely at each outlet point of the pipeline in turn.
4.0 Operating instructions 4.1 Connections High pressure hose - directly on the machine The high pressure hose with imprinted max. working pressure and temperature should be attached to the outlet connection of the machine (1) by the quick coupling (2). IMPORTANT: Prior to detaching the high pressure hose, the machine should be stopped and the shut-off cock closed.
Detergents If you want to apply detergents or disinfectants these can be metered through an accessory injector. Below you will find various types of outlet points with injectors. Outlet point with detachable injector To be attached to the quick coupling of the high pressure cock. To be used for dosing of low-foaming detergents or disinfectants.
4.2 Starting Check that the oil level in the oil reservoir(s) (2) is between the MIN. and MAX. markings. The inlet water shut-off cock should be open. NOTE: The system automatically stops after approx. 4 seconds if there is no water consumption. In the event of a power failure or activation of the thermal switch (with subsequent cooling) the system can be restarted from pos.
4.4 Double spray lance, regulation of pressure and water volume - KSA-1 The spray lance employs a high pressure nozzle and a low pressure nozzle. On KSA-1 pump systems the water volume is adjusted on the water regulation valve of the pump (2). High pressure mode The max.
4.6 End of operation KSA-1 Start KSA-2 To stop the machine turn the red start/stop knob (1) to position 0. Close the shut-off cock of the water inlet (pos. 2) and activate spray lance or high pressure cock to relieve the pipeline / high pressure hose of pressure.
