4.3 Detergents
As standard the machine is delivered without a detergent injector.
Detergent should not be added to the inlet water, and thus pass through the pump. If you want to use
detergents these should be added through an external injector (see accessories catalogue).
The most efficient cleaning is reached with detergents in conjunction with the high pressure cleaning. For
that purpose ALTO can offer you a series of products specially developed for high pressure cleaning,
among other fields within
Cleaning of vehicles, machines, stalls etc.
Degreasing
The products are water-based, without phosphates, and the applied tensides (surface active substances)
comply with the present requirements for easy biodegradability.
Contact your ALTO distributor for directions as to which product will fulfil your requirements.
The method of application and the dosage of the individual products appear from the product labels or the
data sheet.
Change from application of detergent under low pressure to cleaning under high pressure is simply ef-
fected by regulating from »low pressure mode« to »high pressure mode« on the spray lance.
For foam cleaning you will have to mount the special foam injector between the high pressure washer and
the high pressure hose. Insert the suction hose of the injector into the foam detergent. Mount foam lance
on spray handle and now you are ready for foam application. Upon the application dismount the foam
injector and replace the foam lance by a spray lance and you are ready for cleaning.
