Attaching the interior cleaner and adjusting
the immersion depth
1. Place the interior cleaner with the bunghole cone sit-
ting on the carrier tube on the object to be cleaned.
2. Release the screw connection on the bunghole
cone.
3. Set the immersion depth.
4. Tighten the screw connection on the bunghole cone.
Connecting the high-pressure hose
1. Connect the separate high-pressure pump to the in-
door cleaner using a high-pressure hose.
Operation
DANGER
High-pressure jet
Risk of injury from escaping, possibly hot high-pressure
jet
Only operate the interior cleaner in containers that are
closed on all sides.
Switch off the separate high-pressure pump and the in-
terior cleaner's own drive if you want to insert the interior
cleaner into the container or transfer it to another con-
tainer.
Note
Try to arrange the interior cleaner centrally.
Cleaning
Note
Recommendation: Carry out 1 cleaning cycle if the con-
tainer is slightly to moderately soiled and 2 cleaning cy-
cles if it is heavily soiled. The duration per cycle is 6
minutes.
1. Connect the interior cleaner to the on-site power
supply.
2. Connect the mains plug.
3. Open the cleaning fluid supply.
4. Switch on the separate high-pressure pump.
5. Switch on the interior cleaner at the power switch.
The indicator light lights up.
6. Perform cleaning.
Shutting down
Note
Rinse the interior cleaner for 30 seconds without adding
detergents before shutting down. This prevents encrus-
tation and sticking and thus premature wear and tear of
the seals.
1. Switch off the interior cleaner at the power switch.
The indicator light goes out.
2. Pull out the mains plug.
3. Switch off the separate high-pressure pump.
4. Close the cleaning fluid supply.
5. Remove the interior cleaner from the container.
