●Use the detergent metering knob to adjust the amount of detergent to be added

Detergent metering knob to the left: 0% (min)

Detergent metering knob to the right: 5% (max)

English

  • When applying detergent, start at the bottom and work upwards
    Detergent must not be allowed to dry on the object to be cleaned
    If detergent is no longer to be added:

●Set the detergent metering knob to 0 % (min)
- 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 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

  • Pour 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 5 % (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:

$$ \frac {Q R}{Q} \times V = \text { concentration } $$

  • 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

$$ 1: 1 = 50 \% $$

$$ 1: 2 = 33.3 \% $$

$$ 1: 3 = 25 \% $$

$$ 1: 5 = 16.6 \% $$

$$ 1: 1 0 = 9 \% $$

Example:

Calculation ratio of 1:2

$$ - \quad A = 1 $$

$$ - \quad B = 2 $$

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

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

Tips for operation Switching Off

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.

RE 232, RE 272 PLUS, RE 282 PLUS

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.
