ATTENTION
· Never intake water from a drinking water tank.
· Never intake liquids containing solvents, such as thinners for paint,
petrol, oil or unfiltered water. The machine seals are not resistant to
solvents. Atomised solvents are highly inflammable, explosive and
toxic.
6.5 Electrical connection
· Connect the machine to a mains power supply in compliance with
current regulations.
· For power supply values please see technical specifications, chapter
1.
· The voltage indicated on the rating plate must coincide with the
voltage of the mains power supply.
· If an extension cable is used, this must always be unwound from the
cable drum and have a minimum section equal to that of the machine
power cable; the plug and socket must be waterproof.
· Move the power switch on the machine to "OFF" and then insert the
plug into the socket.
ATTENTION
· The power supply cable and the extension cable must not be dama-
ged.
· Only connect the machine to correctly earthed power sources
· All parts under voltage in the work area must be protected against
splashing water.
· Never touch electrical plugs with wet hands.
· A 30 mA differential overload cut out should be fitted up-line from
the power socket or in the installation.
· The guarantee is not valid for unsuitable electrical connections.
6.6 Field of use
· Use the machine to wash cars, vehicles, etc. as long as they are not
connected to the electrical power supply.
· Wash walls, terraces, and floors, etc. without detergent, just with a
high pressure jet. For resistant dirt the optional rotating nozzle should
be use.
· Engines should only be washed in areas provided with a suitable oil
separator (environmental protection).
· If the equipment is used in petrol stations or in other places, current
safety regulations must be respected.
· Observe noise regulations when using the machine in built up areas
or work areas.

7 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 Operation
· Move the switch to STOP.
· Insert the plug in the mains power socket after checking the voltage
is correct.
· Move the pump switch to ON (or Pos.1 for other models)
7.2 How to remove air from the machine
· Open the water supply tap.
· Check the detergent tap is closed.
· Operate the machine without the high pressure hose until the water
flows out without air bubbles.
· Then connect the high pressure hose.
· If the high pressure hose, lance and nozzle are already mounted,
remove air as follows:
switch the machine on and off several times at 10 second intervals
keeping the spray gun open until the water leaves the high pressure
nozzle without air bubbles.
7.3 Adjusting working pressure and flow
· Pump pressure and flow is progressively adjusted as follows:
-screw up the adjustment handle to obtain greater pressure and flow.
-unscrew the adjustment handle to obtain less pressure and flow.
7.4 High pressure nozzle
· The spraying angle is decisive for the efficiency of the high pressure
jet. A 25° flat jet nozzle is normally used (included in the supply).
· Different nozzles can be supplied as accessory equipment
Full jet nozzle (for resistant dirt)
40° flat jet nozzle (for delicate surfaces)
Rotating jet nozzle (for thick layers of dirt)
"Attention, this high power jet is dangerous".
Variable angle nozzle
with variable spraying angles.
· In order to prevent damage being caused by the high pressure jet,
always start by aiming it towards the element to wash that is furthest
away.
· Use a face mask when sandblasting.
7.5 Operating with detergent
· Fill the detergent tank
· Move the detergent flow valve to the required concentration.
· To intake the detergent (with water tank) move the flow valve to the
required concentration.
· To intake the detergent (without water tank) move the flow valve to
the required concentration and adjust the head of the lance to lower
the pressure.
· After using detergent, close the valve and rinse the machine for about
a minute, keeping the spray gun open.
· For environmental reasons detergent should be used sparingly. Use
the recommended doses indicated on the detergent packs.
· Unsuitable detergents can damage both the machine and the objects
washed.
· The following cleaning method should be used:
Phase 1: spray a little detergent and leave it to dissolve the dirt for 1
- 5 minutes.
Phase 2: remove the dirt with the high pressure jet.
