Tips for operation

The following information and examples of application make work easier and contribute to achieving an optimum cleaning result.

Operating pressure and water throughput

High pressure dissolves dirt better. The higher the water throughput, the easier it is to remove the dirt that has been loosened.

Clean delicate parts and surfaces (e. g. car paint, rubber) by applying low pressure or at a greater distance to avoid damage. 100 bar pressure is sufficient for cleaning vehicles.

Nozzles

Fan-jet nozzle

All-purpose – to clean parts and (sensitive) surfaces.

Applications:

  • Cleaning vehicles and machines
    – Cleaning floors and surfaces
  • Cleaning roofs and facades

Rotary nozzle

To remove stubborn dirt on hard-wearing surfaces.

Extremely dirty surfaces

Soak extremely dirty surfaces with water before cleaning them.

Detergents:

The cleaning effect can be improved by using detergents. The corresponding exposure time (dependent on the detergent used) increases the cleaning performance.

Do not allow the detergent to dry.

Always use detergent in the specified dosage and follow the corresponding instructions for use of the detergent.

Mechanical cleaning:

The additional use of e. g. rotary nozzles or washing brushes helps to remove highly adhesive layers of dirt.

The high-pressure hose can be disconnected either from the front or back of the machine with the folding cliplock.

STIHL RE 362 - NOTICE - 1

text_image 9937BA014 KN 1

●Undo the hose reel brake (1)

●Fold the cliplock forward or backward

Standby mode

NOTICE

The machine must not be operated in standby mode for more than 5 minutes. If work is interrupted for more than 5 min., during breaks or if the machine is left unattended, switch off the machine at the master switch – see "Switching off the machine".

Only RE 462, RE 462 PLUS

Safety shutdown

If the switched on machine is not operated, it disconnects from the power mains automatically after 30 minutes.

English

Protection against inadvertent operation of the spray gun (e. g., by uninvolved persons).

To restart the machine, switch it off and then on again.

Motor coasting function

The pump continues to run without pressure in bypass mode for approx. 20 seconds after closing the spray gun before the motor switches off. This prevents the automatic cutoff device from unnecessarily actuating.

Adding detergent

The machine is equipped with two detergent containers. Depending on use and detergent used, the feed can be changed between the two containers during operation.

STIHL RE 362 - Adding detergent - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a vehicle chassis with wheels and components (no text or symbols)

The filling level of each container can be read through the recesses in the housing.

If high-pressure hose extensions are connected, it is impossible to draw in detergent from the detergent container.

Detergent can only be drawn into the machine in low-pressure operation.

●Screw the cap with intake hose onto a separate detergent container

The cap has a standard thread and fits all standard detergent containers.

- Slide the intake hose as far as possible into the detergent container

Set the dosage

STIHL RE 362 - Set the dosage - 1

text_image A 0 B 99378A016 KN
  • Select the detergent container
  • Detergent metering knob at setting A = left container
  • Detergent metering knob at setting B = right container
    ●Set the dosage (possible adjustment range 0% - 6%)
    ●During use, always apply the detergent from the bottom upwards

Detergent must not be allowed to dry on the object to be cleaned.

If detergent is no longer to be added:

●Set detergent metering knob to 0
- Let the high-pressure cleaner continue to run with the spray gun open until no more detergent comes out of the nozzle

After finishing work

●Empty the detergent tank and rinse it with clear water
●Immerse the intake hose in clean water
●Actuate the spray gun and flush out the residual detergent

Precisely calculating/setting the detergent concentration

For a few detergents, the concentration must be very precisely set. In this case, measure water flow rate and consumption of cleaning agent.

  • Set the nozzle sleeve to low-pressure operation – as described above
  • Set the detergent metering knob to "0 % (min)"
    ●Hold the spray gun in a suitable empty receptacle (> 20 l) and actuate for exactly 1 minute
    ●Measure the quantity of water "Q" in the container
  • Fill 2 liters of detergent diluted as directed into a suitable container (with a scale of 0.1 l) – STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL detergents
    ●Hold the intake hose in the container
  • Set the detergent metering knob to the desired concentration: 0 % (min) bis 6 % (max)

●Hold the spray gun in a suitable empty receptacle (> 20 l) and actuate for exactly 1 minute
●Read the detergent consumption "QR" on the scale

Calculating the actual detergent concentration:

$$ \frac {\mathrm{QR}}{\mathrm{Q}} \times \mathrm{V} = \text { concentration } $$

  • QR = amount of consumed detergent (in l/min)
  • Q = Water without detergent (in l/min)
  • V = Predilution of detergent (in %)

If the actual concentration deviates from the desired concentration, reset dosing knob and repeat measurement if necessary.

Calculating the predilution of the detergent in %

If the predilution is not indicated as a percentage, it can be calculated using the following table:

Ratio value

1:1 = 50 %

1:2 = 33.3 %

1:3 = 25 %

1:5 = 16.6 %

1:10 = 9 %

Example:

Calculation ratio of 1:2

  • A = 1
  • B = 2

English

$$ \frac {A}{(A + B)} \times 100 = \text { value in } \% $$

$$ \frac {1}{(1 + 2)} \times 100 = 33.3 \% $$

Switching Off
