Symbols used to mark instructions Before using the high-pressure washer, be sure to also read the enclosed operating instructions and keep them within reach at all times. Safety instructions in these operating instructions which must be observed to prevent risks to persons are marked with this danger symbol. This symbol is used to mark safety instructions that must be observed to prevent damage to the machine and its performance. This indicates tips and in structions to simplify work and to ensure safe operation. Before starting the washer If your washer was supplied without a plug, have it fitted with a suitable plug with earth conductor, by an electrician. [. . . ] is incorporated Accessory 9 4. 3 Using detergents Detergentscan be drawn in via the injector installed as standard only in low-pressure mode: 1. Tornado lance 1) : Set pressure regulation on spray lance to low pressure (-), or Flexo Power 3000 nozzle 1): Turn cap of the Flexo Power 3000 nozzle towards "CHEM" up to the stop. The intaken volume of detergent can be regulated by turning the metering valve. The surface may be damaged. 10 1) Options / model variants 5 Applications and methods 5. 1 General information Efficient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of specific cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here is some basic information about cleaning. 5. 1. 1 Soaking Incrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up by a period of soaking. This is for example an ideal method within agriculture ­ for example, within pig sties. The ideal soaking method can be achieved via use of foam or simple alcaline detergent. Let the product lie on the dirty surfaces for around 30 minutes before pressure washing. The result will be a much quicker high-pressure cleaning process. 5. 1. 2 Detergent and foam Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higher concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent react several minutes before cleaning off. 5. 1. 3 Temperature Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils and fats can be broken down more easily at higher temperatures also. Oils, pollution and grease can be cleaned between 70° and 90°C. 5. 1. 4 Mechanical effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt. traffic film. 5. 1. 5 High water flow or high pressure High pressure is not always the best solution and high pressure may damage surfaces. Pressure levels of around 100 bar may be sufficient for vehicle cleaning (in association with hot water). Higher flow levels give the possibility to rinse and flush away large amounts of dirt easily. 11 Some typical cleaning tasks 5. 2. 1 Agriculture Task Stables Pig Pens, sties Cleaning of walls, floors and equipment Disinfection Accessories Foam Injector Foam lance Powerspeed lance Floor Cleaner Powerlift lance Detergents Universal Alkafoam Disinfectant DES 3000 Machinery Tractors, ploughs etc. Standard lance Detergent injector Powerspeed lance Curved lance and underchassis washer Brushes Method 1. Soaking ­ apply foam to all surfaces (bottom to top) and wait for approx 30 minutes. Remove the dirt from surfaces with the high-pressure lance or chosen accessory. To flush away large quantities of dirt, change to lowpressure mode and use the higher flow to push away the dirt.
