! Water cleaners with the

"Total Stop” device should be considered as off when the Solenoid switch is in the “O” position or the plug is unplugged from the socket. ! When the water cleaner is not used, close the safety device on the handle.(fig.10).

To eliminate any impurities or air bubbles from the water circuit we advise starting the cleaner for the first time without the lance and letting the water run out for a few seconds. Impurities could block the nozzle and cause malfunction (Fig. 8).

! Dry use of the water cleaner causes serious damage to pump gaskets.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FROST 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.

1) For environmental compatibility, we recommend a reasonable 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. 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 cleaner and spray the surface to be washed, starting from the bottom and working upwards. In the version with detergent FIG. 11 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.

MAINTENANCE ONLY THE OPERATIONS AUTHORIZED IN THIS INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL MAY BE CARRIED OUT BY THE USER.

ALL OTHER OPERATIONS ARE FORBIDDEN. 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 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 storage, 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 solution. FIG.12 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.)

Contact our technical service centre for replacement. ! CHANGING THE NOZZLE The high pressure nozzle fitted on the lance must be changed 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.

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 maintenance jobs.
