5.4 Safety devices
– Starter device (H)
The starter device prevents accidental use of the appliance.
Warning – danger!
Do not tamper with or adjust the safety valve setting.
-
Safety valve and/or pressure limiting valve.
The safety valve is also a pressure limiting valve. When the gun trigger is released, the valve opens and the water recirculates through the pump inlet or is discharged onto the ground. -
Safety catch (D): prevents accidental spraying of water.
Overload cutout: stops the appliance in case of overload.
INSTALLATION (FIG.2)
6.1 Assembly
Warning – danger!
All installation and assembly operations must be per- formed with the
appliance disconnected from the mains power supply.
The assembly sequence is illustrated in fig.2.
6.2 Fitting the rotating nozzle
The rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power.
Use of the rotating nozzle may cause a reduction in pressure of 25% compared
to the pressure obtained with the adjustable nozzle. However, the rotating
nozzle kit delivers greater washing power due to the rotation of the water
jet.
6.3 Electrical connection
Warning – danger!
Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequency (V-Hz)
correspond to those specified on the data plate (fig.2).
6.3.1 Use of extension cables
The cross-section of the extension cable should be pro- portionate to its
length; the longer it is, the greater its cross-section should be. See table
I.
6.4 Water supply connection
Warning – danger!
Only clean or filtered water should be supplied to the appliance. The
flow rate of the water inlet tap should be equal to the pump flow rate.
Place the appliance as close to the water supply system as possible.
6.4.1 Connection points
♦Water outlet (OUTLET)
Π Water inlet with filter (INLET)
6.4.2 Connection to the mains water supply
The appliance may only be connected directly to the mains drinking water
supply if the supply hose is fitted with a backflow preventer valve as per
current regulations in force. Make sure that the hose is at least Ø 13 mm,
that it is reinforced and that it is not more than 25 m long.
6.4.3 Suction of water from open containers
-
Screw the inlet hose with filter to the water INLET and insert it down to the bottom of the container.
-
Vent the air from the appliance:
a) Unscrew the lance.
b) Start the appliance and keep the gun open until there are no air bubbles in the water flowing out. -
Switch the appliance off and screw the lance back on.
N.B.: the maximum suction height is 0.5 m. The suction hose should be filled before use.
ADJUSTMENTS (FIG.3)
7.1 Adjusting the spray nozzle
Water flow is adjusted by regulating the nozzle (E).
7.2 Adjusting the detergent
To deliver detergent at the correct pressure, fit the detergent kit (C13) as
shown.
INFORMATION ON USE OF THE APPLIANCE (FIG.4)
8.1 Controls
– Starter device (H).
Set the starter device on (ON/I) to operate the motor in “Energy
Saving” mode and use up to 30% less electricity.
Set the starter device on (ON/II) to operate the motor in “Maximum
Power” mode for full-power performance.
Set the starter device switch on (OFF/0) to stop the appliance.
– Water jet control lever (I).
Warning – danger!
During operation the appliance must be positioned as shown in fig. 4 on a
firm, stable surface.
8.2 Start-up (see fig. 4)
- Turn on the water supply tap fully.
- Release the safety catch (D).
- Depress the gun trigger for a few seconds and start up the appliance by setting the starter device in the working position required (ON/I) or (ON/II).
Warning – danger!
Before starting up the appliance check that it is receiv- ing water
correctly; use of the appliance without water will damage it. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles when the appliance is in use.
- When the gun trigger is released the dynamic pressure automati- cally cuts out the motor;
- When the gun trigger is depressed the automatic drop in pressure starts the motor and the pressure is restored after a very slight delay;
- If the machine is to function correctly, all gun trigger releasing and depressing operations must be at least 4-5 seconds apart.
To prevent damage to the appliance, do not allow it to operate dry and check that it is properly supplied with water.
8.3 Stopping
- Set the starter device switch on (OFF/0).
- Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual pressure inside the pipes.
- Engage the safety catch (D).
8.4 Restarting
- Release the safety catch (D).
- Depress the gun trigger and discharge the residual air inside the pipes.
- Set the starter device in the working position required (ON/I) or (ON/II).
8.5 Storage
- Turn off the water supply tap.
- Discharge the residual pressure from the gun until all the water has come out of the appliance.
- Switch the appliance off (OFF/0).
- Remove the plug from the socket.
- Drain and wash out the detergent tank at the end of the working ses- sion. To wash out the tank, use clean water instead of the detergent.
- Engage the gun safety catch (D).
8.6 Refilling and using detergent
The detergent must be delivered using the accessories and by the procedures
described in point 7.2.
Use of a high pressure hose longer than the one originally supplied with the
appliance, or the use of an additional hose extension, may reduce or
completely halt the suction of detergent.
Fill the tank (B6) with highly biodegradable detergent.
8.7 Recommended cleaning procedure
Dissolve dirt by applying the detergent mixed with water to the surface while
still dry.
When dealing with vertical surfaces work from the bottom upwards.
Leave the detergent to act for 1-2 minute but do not allow the surface to dry.
Starting from the bottom, use the high pressure jet at a minimum distance of
30 cm. Do not allow the rinse water to run onto unwashed surfaces.
In some cases, scrubbing with brushes is needed to remove dirt.
High pressure is not always the best solution for good cleaning results, since
it may damage some surfaces. The finest adjustable nozzle jet setting or the
rotating nozzle should not be used on delicate or painted parts, or on
pressurised components (e.g. tyres, inflation valves, etc..).
Effective cleaning depends on both the pressure and volume of the water used,
to the same degree.
MAINTENANCE (FIG.5)
Any maintenance operations not covered by this chapter should be carried out by an Authorised Sales and Service Centre.
Warning – danger!
Always disconnect the plug from the power socket before carrying out
any work on the appliance.
9.1 Inspect the power cable, high pressure hose, fittings, trigger gun and
lance at each use.
9.2 Cleaning the nozzle
- Disconnect the lance from the trigger gun.
- Remove any dirt deposits from the nozzle hole using the tool (C1).
9.3 Cleaning the filter
Inspect the inlet filter (L) and detergent filter (if fitted) before each use, and clean in accordance with the instructions if necessary.
9.4 End-of-season storage
Before putting the machine into store for the winter, run it with non- aggressive, non-toxic antifreeze.
Put the machine in a dry place, protected from frost.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION (FIG. 5)
Store the accessories as shown in fig. 5.
Transport the machine as shown in fig. 5.
TROUBLESHOOTING
(*) If the motor stops and does not restart during operation, wait 2-3 minutes
before repeating the start-up procedure ( Overload cutout has been tripped
).
If the problem recurs more than once, contact your nearest Authorised Service
Centre.
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING SURFACES
WARNING
12.1 Using the appliance to wash tyres may damage the tyre and can be
dangerous.
12.2 Never point the high pressure jet straight at the tyre.
12.3 Always use the appliance at the lowest pressure setting when cleaning in
the vicinity of wheels and tyres.
12.4 Never use the “Turbo Lance” for washing any part of the vehicle.
