about roof cleaning The best cleaning results are obtained in the evening in au- tumn/spring where fouling on the roof is in growth. If the fouling is very dry it is necessary to apply pure water to the roof before cleaning and wait 0,5-1 hour before applying the detergent. This can be done by removing the detergent hose from the detergent canister. Adding water is to ensure that the pores open and the fouling can thus be affected by the de- tergent. Depending on the degree of the fouling, it may be necessary with an additional treatment after 2-3 months. The Nilfisk detergent causes only harm to plants when large amounts of detergent are ap- plied. Do not stand on the roof or on a lat- ter when cleaning. The Roof Cleaner is made for safe ground operation. If the gutter of the house is con- nected to a rain water collection system, make sure that the detergent is not collected but disposed in the right way. The detergent kills the fouling but does not remove it. This is done via rain, wind, etc that with time will flush the fouling into the gutter. The result of the decomposition of the fouling can, depending on the conditions, be seen after 4-6 weeks. Full effect can be seen after 4-6 months. When applying the detergent to the roof, please observe that the detergent is not directed under any roof tiles as this may cause damages to the house. Wind will affect the direction and the length of the jet. Best result is obtained when cleaning is done on a day with no wind. Wear goggles, protection gloves and clothes to en- sure that your skin, eyes, etc do not get in contact with the detergent.

from your local Nilfisk dealer. Only use original Nilfisk deter- gent. Observe the safety pre- cautions on the detergent bottle.

4.3 Detergent suction Put the detergent hose (6) with

strainer (7) into the detergent canister. Observe that the strainer is not clogged and that the strainer is located at the bot- tom of the canister.

4.4 Adjusting the detergent

suction The Nilfisk detergent shall be mixed in a 10% ratio. The cor- responding adjustment of the detergent knob will depend on the machine and the degree of fouling. ≈ 8% ≈ 10% ≈ 16%7

4.5 Adjustment of angular

coupling Adjust the angular coupling by pressing the button. When the right position has been found release the button and the cou- pling will lock. Ensure that it is safely locked.

4.6 Adjustment of telescopic

lance length Adjust the telescopic lance to the desired length. Fix the tubes by rotating the connectors. Check that the tubes are prop- erly fixed before start.
