18(if tted) IMPORTANT: This water cleaner is equipped with the A.S.S. (Automatic Stop System), which stops the machine during the bypass phase. To start the water cleaner, it is therefore necessary to set the switch on position “ON”; after that press the pistol trigger: the Automatic Stop System will start the machine and will stop it automatically when the trigger is released. It is advisable to put on the safety of the pistol trigger whenever the machine is stopped, in order to avoid unintentional starting.

• Any automatic start of the machine without pressing the gun trigger is attributable to air bubbles in the water or other similar phenomena which do not imply the existence of any defects in the machine.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended during the standby for more than 5 minutes. Contrarily, for the safety of the appliance it is necessary to re-turn the switch into the OFF position.

• Please check that the coupling of the high pressure hose with the appliance and the gun supplied as standard equipments made correctly, that is to say without any water leak. If the appliance is equipped with a pressure regulator:

• when the pressure is set to minimum the A.S.S. may not trigger. Therefore, do not allow the appliance to function in by-pass for more than 1 minute.

• do not act on the gun lever too frequently (this may cause a malfunction).

> APPLIANCES PROVIDED WITH THERMAL

VALVE (OPTIONAL) This device enables the machine’s by-pass op- eration through automatic water discharge whenever it reaches a temperature of nearly 60°C and cooling working components.

CAUTION: appliances that are not provided with this disposal must not operate for more than 2 minutes with released gun. Recycled water raises its temperature remarkably causing great damages to the pump.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Before doing any work on the cleaner, discharge the pressure and disconnect the electricity and water supplies.

CHECKING THE PUMP OIL LEVEL

Check the oil level periodically. The oil must be changed for the rst time after 50 working hours, with subsequent changes every 500 hours. SAE 20/30 (750 gr) oil is recommended .

Inspect and clean the water intake lter on the inta- ke union periodically. This is important to prevent fouling which may impair operation of the pump.

CHECKING THE SPRAY ROD NOZZLE

Replace the nozzle when the pressure drops below the normal values. DESCALING The descaling procedure must be carried out periodically with specic products. The interval depends on the hard- ness of the water. Pour one litre of product for every 15 litres of water into a drum containing at least 30 litres of water. Disconnect the gun from the high pressure line and place its free end in the drum, in order to form a closed cir- cuit, and draw the solution into the machine for at least 10 minutes. The delivery end of the line should discharge into a canvas or mesh bag so that the scale removed is not re- turned to the circuit. Then restore the normal connection and rinse with plenty of cold water. This operation should be carried out by our after-sales service, since the descal- ing product may cause wear of components. Comply with the regulations in force when disposing of the descaling agent. ELECTRIC DIAGRAM See illustrations,
