damage to the cleaner.

Danger

Never suck up liquids containing solvents or acids in the pure 

state, for example petrol, paint solvents or diesel. The spray mist 

from the lance is highly inflammable, explosive and poisonous.

Failure  to  respect  the  above  absolves  the  manufacturer 

of all liability and represents negligent use of the product.

Information

Respect the instructions provided by the water utility 

company.

Current regulations specify that the appliance may not be con-

nected to the drinking water supply unless a suitable system 

separator is fitted.

ONLY THE OPERATIONS AUTHORIZED IN THIS IN-

STRUCTIONS MANUAL MAY BE CARRIED OUT BY  

THE  

USER.

ALL OTHER OPERATIONS ARE FORBIDDEN.

Danger

For maintenance of the boiler, high pressure pump, the electrical 

parts and all parts with a safety function, you must apply to our 

Technical service centre.

The manufacturer is not liable in case of tampering, changes, in-

correct repairs or maintenance carried out  on the machine by a 

third person not provided with the manufacturer’s authorization.

FIG. 11

ADVICE ON USING DETERGENTS

 

Warning

This cleaner has been designed for use with the detergents 

supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.

The use of other detergents or chemicals may influence the 

safety of the cleaner.

)

 For environmental compatibility

, we recommend a reaso-

nable use of detergents, according to the instructions on the 

pack.

2

) From the range of recommended products, choose the 

one most suited to the washing job to be done and dilute it 

with water according to the instructions on the pack or in the 

catalogue of the detergents most suited for the type of hot or 

cold water cleaner.

3

) Ask your dealer for the detergents catalogue.

OPERATING PHASES FOR CORRECT CLEANING WITH 

DETERGENTS.

provisions of the IEC 60364-1 standard) must be kept carefully 

by the user, together with the Instructions Manual.

Periodically, at least once a year, have the safety devices and 

the rated values checked at one of our technical service centres. 

Particularly, as for the hot water high pressure cleaner, which is 

factory set, the exhaust system must be checked.

The rating done by the manufacturer determines a production of 

exhaust gases with a CO content lower than 0,04% and a  smoke 

content corresponding to a smoke point nr.2 Shell-Bacharach 

according to the laws in force.

Danger

Disconnect the water cleaner from the mains electricity supply 

via the Solenoid switch or by unplugging the plug from the socket 

and close the water supply tap (see chapters on connecting to 

the electricity and water mains

)

 

before carrying out any main-

tenance jobs.  Once maintenance has been completed, ensure 

that the closing panels have been correctly reassembled and 

anchored with the screws provided before reconnecting the 

cleaner to the mains.

Failure to do so may cause a risk of electric shock.

FIG.12

PRECAUTIONS  AGAINST  

FROST

The  cleaner  must  not  be 

exposed to frost.

  

If the cleaner is left in premises 

where it is exposed to frost, 

when work is over or for sto-

rage, antifreeze must be used 

to prevent serious damage to 

the hydraulic circuit. 

OPERATIONS FOR USING 

ANTIFREEZE (fig. 12).

1

) Turn off the water supply (tap), disconnect the hose and run 

the cleaner until it is completely empty.

2

) Stop the water cleaner with the ON/OFF switch in the “O” 

position.

3

) Prepare a container with the solution of antifreeze.

4

) Immerse the tube in the container with the anti-freeze solu-

tion.

5

) Start the water cleaner with the ON/OFF switch in the “I” 

position.

6

) Start the cleaner and let it run until antifreeze comes out 

through the lance.

7

) Suck up antifreeze with the detergent intake system too.

8

Disconnect the water cleaner from the mains electricity 

supply via the Solenoid switch or by unplugging the plug from 

the socket. 

Anti-freeze may cause environmental pollution. Always follow 

the instructions given on the pack. (Dispose of carefully.)

PUMP OIL CHANGE.

Contact our technical service centre for replacement.

1)

 Prepare the solution of 

detergent at the concentration 

most suitable for the type of 

dirt and the surface that is to 

be washed. 

2)

 Remove the extension tube 

from the handgrip and attach 

the  detergent  spray  kit  (fig. 

11), operate the water clea-

ner and spray the surface to 

be washed, starting from the 

bottom and working upwards.

In the version with detergent 

suction, open the detergent tap (fig. 7B) and move the nozzle 

forwards.  Leave to work for a few minutes.

3)

 Rinse the whole surface well from top to bottom with hot or 

cold water at high pressure. 

4)

 

After use with detergent, rinse the high pressure water circuit 

by operating the pump for one minute with the detergent tap 

completely closed.

CLEANING THE FUEL 

FILTER.

Remove and replace the in-

line fuel filter (fig. 13).

Change it from time to time.

FIG.14

CLEANING THE WATER 

FILTER

 

Clean  the  water  intake  filter 

regularly and free it from any 

impurities (fig. 14).

CHANGING THE NOZZLE

The high pressure nozzle fitted on the lance must be chan

-

ged  from time to time, as this component is subject to 

normal wear during  use.   Wear may generally be detected 

by a drop in the working pressure of the cleaner.   To replace 

it, consult your supplier and/or dealer for instructions.

DESCALING

 

Descaling must be carried out from time to time because the 

scale present in the water partially deposits inside the hydraulic 

circuit and the coil which with time becomes clogged.  

Apply to our technical service centre to have the machine 

descaled from time to time; this will save you money and 

increase the efficiency of the cleaner.

IMPORTANT:

These intervals refer to normal working conditions. For heavy duty use decrease the interval for each job.

For maintenance and/or repairs, use only original spare parts which offer the greatest characteristics of quality and 

reliability. Failure to use original spare parts absolves the manufacturer from all liability and transfers it to the 

person carrying out the operation.

PERIODS OF INACTIVITY

If the machine is to remain inactive for a long period, disconnect the supply sources, drain the tank(s) of all the operating fluids 

and protect any parts that could be damaged by the accumulation of dust.

Grease the parts that could be damaged by drying out, such as the supply hoses.  When bringing back into use, ensure that 

there are no cracks or cuts in the water supply hoses.

Oil and chemical products must be disposed of according to current legislation.

SCRAPPING

If you no longer wish to use the water cleaner, you should render it unusable by removing the power cable. 

You should also make sure that all potentially hazardous parts of the appliance are made safe, particularly for children who could 

play with the unused water cleaner. 

This product is classified as WEEE type special waste and is covered by the requisites of the new environmental protection
