Safety notes
User operating the high-pressure cleaner should wear the necessary protective
clothing, i.e. waterproof clothing, rubber boots, safety goggles, ear
protection headwear etc. It is prohibited to use the high-pressure cleaner in
close vicinity to people lacking suitable protective clothing.
If noise exceeds the maximum allowed levels, users and others in the vicinity
must wear suitable ear protection.
Use of high-pressure cleaners may result in aerosols being generated. An
aerosol is a mixture of floating solid or liquid particles in a gas. Inhaling
aerosol particles may cause damage to health. Employers are under obligation
to carry out a hazards assessment in order to determine the necessary
protective measures to prevent inhalation of aerosols as governed by the
surface due to be cleaned in each case. Respiratory masks, Class FFP 2 or
higher, are suitable for protection against aqueous aerosols.
Whenever the high-pressure cleaner is left unattended, the mains disconnect
switch must always be switched off.
Do not spray against matter containing asbestos or other hazardous substances!
Never spray flammable liquids or liquids containing solvents such as paint
thinners, petrol, oil or similar liquids! Explosion hazard due to spraying
such materials!
Due to the high-pressure jet, damage may occur on the objects to be cleaned,
e.g. car tires; therefore, a minimum distance of 30 cm is to be kept!
Prior to putting the high-pressure cleaners into operation, check its
components (High-pressure hose, power supply cables, safety trigger gun) for
any damage. Replace defect or damaged components!
Only use high-pressure hoses, couplings and fittings recommended by Kränzle.
Only these accessories ensure safety of the equipment.
If use is made of an extension cable, this must be suitable for outdoor use.
In addition care needs to be taken to ensure that the cable is kept dry and
that it is situated above the ground. We recommend the use of a cable drum
capable of keeping the socket at least 60 mm above the ground.
8
Safety notes – This is prohibited!
Replacement of the power supply cables is only permitted by use of an original
power supply cable of the manufacturer and must be performed by a qualified
electrician. Safety devices serve to protect the user and must never be de-
activated or their function bypassed. The high-pressure cleaner is to be
properly used. The user is required to adhere to local requirements and to
watch out for the persons in the danger zone! If used in elevated positions
where there is a risk of the unit falling to the ground, it must be secured
against rolling away or tipping over. The high-pressure cleaner is not
designed for use by persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental
abilities (including children)! Some parts inside the machine, all metal parts
of trigger gun with safety catch and lance are hot during hot water. Keep all
hoods and protective covers closed during operation and never touch any metal
parts of gun or lance without wearing appropriate protective gloves.
When using high-pressure water for cleaning, make sure that there is a clearly
noticeable recoil effect on the lance. Therefore ensure a firm footing (see
technical data).
9
Safety notes – This is prohibited!
Never allow children or untrained persons to use the high-pressure cleaner or
to play with it! Children must be kept under supervision to prevent them from
playing with the equipment.
Never direct the high-pressure jet at the highpressure cleaner itself! The
high-pressure cleaner may not be placed within reach of the highpressure jet
spray mist!
Never direct the high-pressure jet at power sockets or any other electrical
installations! Within the working area, all live parts are to be protected
from both water jet and spray mist.
Always pay attention to the underbody lance resting on the surface! Bear in
mind when using a curved or angled spraying lance that there is a significant
amount of torque in the recoil! (The underbody lance is available as optional
accessory).
10
Safety notes – This is prohibited!
Apply the safety catch on the safety trigger gun after each use in order to
prevent unintentional spraying!
Never direct the high-pressure jet at people or animals! Never direct the
high-pressure jet at yourself or other persons, not even to clean clothing or
shoes.
Only use a power supply cable in perfect working order! Do not damage or
improperly repair the power cable (tearing, squeezing, running over, …).
Never pull the high-pressure hose if it has formed kinks or “nooses”! Never
pull the high-pressure hose over sharp edges!

General rules
Intended use
This high-pressure cleaner is to be used solely for high-pressure water jet
cleaning applications without detergents or low-pressure cleaning work with
detergents (e.g. with a foam injector or washing brush).
Environmental, refuse disposal and water protection regulations must be
observed!
Inspections
The high-pressure cleaner was finally inspected by the company Kränzle (refer
to Kränzle final report). The high-pressure cleaner must be inspected
according to the “Guidelines for Liquid Spray Devices” at least once every 12
months by a qualified person, to ensure that continued safe operation is
guaranteed. The results of the inspection are to be recorded in writing (see
“Inspection reports” in these operating manual).
High-pressure cleaners used for commercial purposes have to be checked by a
qualified person at least every 12 months!
The owner is to ensure that all safety-relevant components are in a
serviceable condition before the high-pressure cleaner is used.
Accident prevention
The high-pressure cleaner is designed for accidents to be impossible if used
correctly. The user is to be notified of the risk of injury from hot machine
parts and the high-pressure jet. The “Guidelines for Liquid Spray Devices”
must be complied with.
General rules
Oil change
The first oil change should be carried out after approximately 50 operating
hours, then every year or after 500 operating hours.
New oil: 0.8 l Kränzle High Performance Gear Oil (Ord. no.: 400932)
Oil change must be performed by a specialist!
Oil leakage If oil leaks contact your nearest after-sales service (dealer) at
once. Failure to observe this instruction may cause damage to the environment
and/or transmission gearbox.
In case of increased humidity or fluctuations in temperature development of
condensed water is possible. If the oil turns grey or white, you must change
it.

General rules
Decalcifying
Calcified heat exchanger use an unnecessary amount of energy because the water
can only be heated slowly and the excess pressure valve feeds a part of the
water back into the high-pressure pump circuit.
The calcified heat exchanger is known by the increased pipeline resistance.
Check pipeline resistance by disconnecting the lance from the trigger gun with
safety catch and switching the high-pressure cleaner on. A full jet of water
emerges from the gun. The high-pressure cleaner must be decalcified if the
pressure shown on the stainless steel pressure gauge is greater than 50 bar.
Decalcify high-pressure cleaner as follows: 1. Decouple the lance from the
trigger gun with safety catch
and decalcify it separately. 2. Set high-pressure cleaner at the main switch
on “ON”. 3. Hold the gun in a separate container and press the trigger gun
with safety catch. 4. Wait until descaling agent escapes at the trigger gun
with safety catch
(recognizable by whitish colour). 5. Switch high-pressure cleaner at the main
switch on “OFF”
and let descaling agent work for 15 – 20 minutes. 6. Switch high-pressure
cleaner at the main switch on “ON” again
and rinse it for two minutes using clear water. 7. Please check whether the
flow resistance has a lower value now again.
If necessary, please repeat the decalcification process.
Decalcifiers are caustic! Observe the instructions for usage and accident
prevention. Wear protective clothing to prevent the decalcifying agent from
contacting your skin, eyes and clothing.

Functional details
Thermostat
1
56
The thermostat controls the spray water tem-
perature. After you switch on the device, “888”
3
appears in both displays for approx. 1 second as a test of the functioning of the displays.
4
The thermostat has two operating modes:
1. Temperature mode This mode is always activated when the unit is switched
on or can be selected using the “°C°” button (Pos. 5). The red LED above the
“°C” button and next to the set temperature display lights up.
The desired “Set” temperature is set using the two buttons (+/-, Pos. 3+4) and
can be read in the upper display (Pos. 1). If you press the button for a
longer time, the set temperature is quickly adjusted in 5 °C increments.
The last set value set is also stored after the unit is switched off and is
available again immediately after switching back on. The current spray
temperature can be read from the bottom display (Pos. 2)
2. Percentage mode This mode is activated by pressing the “%” button (Pos.
6). The yellow LED above the “%” button and next to the set temperature
display flashes.
In the temperature control of high-pressure cleaners in temperature mode
(“°C”), the water temperature is measured at the outlet of the heater, and the
heater is switched on an off according to the temperature desired by the user.
Due to the large amount of water in the heating coil, it takes a long time
until the temperature sensor registers that the burner has switched on and the
desired temperature has been reached.
22
Functional details
This means that the temperature increases far above the desired value or falls
far below the desired value. The innovative new percent mode now lets the user
specify the switching duration of the heater in percent using the “+” and “-”
buttons (Pos. 3+4) (100% being the max. temperature) rather than setting the
desired temperature. Now the result of the setting must be checked by using
the “Actual” temperature display. If the desired temperature has not yet been
reached, the percentage must be increased.
By setting percentages of the heating duration, the temperature of the high-
pressure jet is kept constant in a very narrow range. The last value set is
also saved after the unit is switched off in percent mode.
Operating hour meter
The cleaner is equipped with an operating hour meter. If during normal
operation the momentary operating mode button ( “°C” or “%” ) is actuated for
more then 2 seconds, the operating time of the pump is displayed for 5 seconds
and afterwards the combustion time for 5 seconds as well. Thereafter the
display shows the original values again. As long as the operating hours are
displayed no further inputs on the monitor are possible. The operating time is
displayed in hours [ h ] either in the “TARGET” or in the ,,ACTUAL” window.
The 1000 and 100 hours are displayed in the ,,TARGET” window and the 10, 1 and
1/10 hours in the “ACTUAL” window:
Pump operating time: Target-Display: P 9 9 Actual-Display: 9 9. 9 for 9 999,9h
Combustion time: Target-Display: F 9 9
Actual-Display: 9 9. 9 for 9 999,9h
e.g.: F00 27.3 = Cumbustion time 27 hours and 18 minutes
23
Functional details
Was Sie unbedingt beachten müssen: Problem Wassermangel
Lack of water occurs more often than you probably believe. The more powerful a
highpressure cleaner is the greater is the danger that a lack of water occurs.
If there is only an insufficient amount of water available, cavitation (water-
gas mixture) arises inside the high-pressure pump, which is normally noticed
too late or even not at all. The highpressure pump will be destroyed. Please
check the available quantity of water by filling a bucket with liter scale for
one minute.
Required minimum quantity of water (see technical data).
If the metered quantity of water is too small, you have to use a different
water connection, guaranteeing the necessary output. Lack of water leads to an
accelerated wear of the joints (no warranty).
Never let the high-pressure pump run dry for more than 60 seconds.
Water supply
Please pay attention to the regulations of your waterworks company! In
accordance with DIN EN 61770, the high-pressure cleaner may not be directly
connected to the public drinking water supply lines. A brief connection
however is permissible according to DVGW (German Association for Gas and Water
Affairs) if a non-return valve with tube ventilator (Kränzle ord. no.: 410164)
is built into the water supply. Once the water has passed through the non-
return valve it is no longer considered as drinking water. Also indirect
connection to the public drinking water supply lines is permissible by way of
free emission in accordance with EN 61 770; e.g. by using a reservoir with a
float valve. Direct connection to a non-drinking water supply line is
permissible.
24
Functional details
Insufficient quantity of electricity
If there are too many collectors in your proximity connected to the network at
the same time, the available voltage and the current intensity may decline.
Consequently the motor of the high-pressure cleaner does not start or even
blows. The power supply may also be insufficient if the power supply cable is
too long or too thin. If extension cables are too long, this may lead to a
voltage drop causing malfunctions or start-up difficulties.
Check the line fusing and have the voltage and the available current intensity
checked by an expert in case of uncertainty (see technical data).
Electrical connection
The voltage indicated on the rating plate must match the voltage from the
power source. The high-pressure cleaner is supplied with a power supply cable.
The mains plug must be fitted to a standard grounded socket with a 30 mA
residual current operated device. Connection up to the mains must be carried
out by a properly trained electrician and must comply with the requirements of
IEC60364-1.
The socket is to be protected on the mains side according to the
specifications (see technical data in the spare parts list). When using an
extension cable, this must have an earthed lead which is properly connected to
the socket. The conductors of the extension cable must have the following
minimum cross-section: at 18 kW: 6 mm2 at 24 kW: 10 mm2 at 36 kW: 16 mm2 at 48
kW: 25 mm2
If extension cables are too long, this may lead to a voltage drop causing
malfunctions. When using a cable drum, always keep the cable wound as far as
possible.
25
Functional details
Water and cleaning system (e-therm 500 M 18, e-therm 500 M 24)
Water must be supplied to the high-pressure pump under pressure or directly
sucked in out of a pressureless container. The water is then forced under
pressure by the high-pressure pump to the lance. The high-pressure jet is
formed by the nozzle at the end of the lance.
Water and cleaning system (e-therm 603 M 36, e-therm 873 M 36, e-therm 873 M
48)
Water can be connected at mains pressure to the high-pressure pump. A float
valve in the water tank regulates the water inlet. Then, the water is sucked
by the high-pressure pump from the water tank and supplied to the lance under
pressure. The high-pressure jet is formed by the nozzle at the end of the
lance. Bypassing the water tank water can also be sucked directly out of a
pressure-less container (see direct suction).
Environmental, refuse disposal and water protection regulations must be
observed!
Safety jet pipe with safety trigger gun
The high-pressure cleaner can only be operated when the trigger of the safety
deactivation trigger gun`s trigger is actuated. When the trigger is pulled,
the safety trigger gun opens. The liquid is then transported to the nozzle.
The spray pressure increases and quickly reaches the operating pressure. When
the trigger is released, the safety trigger gun closes and any further
spraying of liquid from the safety jet pipe is prevented. The increase in
pressure when the safety trigger gun is closed causes the pressure control
valve-safety valve to open. The motor is switched off by the pressure switch.
When thesafety trigger gun is opened, the pressure control valve/safety valve
closes, the motor is started and the high-pressure pump resumes pressure
spraying from the safety jet pipe with the selected operating pressure.
The safety trigger gun is a safety device. Repairs should only be performed by
qualified persons. Should replacement parts be required, use only components
authorized by the manufacturer.
26
Functional details
Pressure control valve/safety valve
The pressure control valve/safety valve protects the high-pressure cleaner
from a build up of excess pressure, and is designed not to permit an excess
pressure to be selected for operation. The limit nut on the handle is sealed
with a spray coating. The operating pressure and spray rate can be steplessly
adjusted by turning the handle.
Replacements, repairs, new adjustments and sealing should only be performed by
qualified persons.
Motor protection switch
Motor is protected against overload by means of a motor protection switch. In
case of motor overload or blocking, the motor of the high-pressure cleaner
switches off automatically. If motor tends to switch off repeatedly, make sure
to detect appears. Make sure to detect and remedy the cause of the failure.
Replacements and inspection work should only be performed by qualified persons
when the high-pressure cleaner is disconnected from the power supply, i.e.
with plug pulled out from the electrical socket.
Total stop system with delayed motor cut-off
When opening the trigger gun the motor is started via a total-stop system.
When closing the trigger gun the motor is switched off only after 38 seconds
and the device is in standby mode. The delayed switch-off is necessary because
switching on and off motors frequently on high-pressure cleaners of this size
may involve heavy load on the power network and cause increased wear of
internal electrical parts. After 20 minutes in standby, the device will
disconnect from the mains and must be turned on again by the main switch. The
machine restarts automatically when the gun is re-opened, provided that the
master switch is on.
27
Functional details
Safety shutdown
If the high-pressure cleaner is accidentally not turned off after use or the
trigger gun with safety catch is not used for 20 minutes, the high-pressure
cleaner automatically changes into safety state by deactivation. By operating
the main switch once more, the device is activated again.
High-pressure hose and spray device
The high-pressure hose and spray device which are part of the e-therm-series
equipment, are made of high quality material and engineered to conform with
the operating conditions of the high-pressure cleaner and are duly labeled.
If replacement parts are required, only such parts that are authorized by the
manufacturer may be used. The warranty is automatically void if spare parts of
third-party providers are used! The high-pressure hose and spray device must
be connected in a pressure-tight manner (without leakage).
The high-pressure hose may not be driven over, pulled excessively, or twisted.
The high-pressure hose may under no circumstances be pulled over sharp edges.
Defective high-pressure hoses must not be repaired (acc. to DIN 20022) but
have to be replaced by new hoses approved by the manufacturer.
Prior to putting the high-pressure cleaner into operation make sure that all
safety instructions be observed.
Putting into operation
1. Install the water inlet filter at the water inlet.
2. For moving the high-pressure cleaner to the place of use, please release
locking break. The high-pressure cleaner must not be pulled with connected
water supply hose!
3. The e-therm-series is a movable high-pressure cleaner with sturdy trolleys
ideally suited for difficult terrain. For steering the high-pressure cleaner
put the foot against the tipping support and then pull the device towards you.
Neither set up or operate the e-therm-series in rooms where there is a risk of
fire or explosion nor put it into puddles. Do not use the high-pressure
cleaner under water. If, none the less, the high-pressure cleaner is operated
in a hazardous area, the applicable safety regulations are to be observed.
28
29
Putting into operation
4. For high-pressure cleaners with hose drum, please loosen the fixation and
then completely unwind the high-pressure hose. For high-pressure cleaners
without hose drum the high-pressure hose included in the scope of the delivery
must be screwed with the pump outlet in a tight and pressure tight manner.
Unwind high-pressure hose straight and without nooses. The high-pressure hose
may leave signs of abrasion on some floors. Alternatively, please also find
non-marking high-pressure hoses in our range.
5. Mount the grey rotating screw connection of the high-pressure hose onto
the trigger gun incorporating a safety catch. Afterwards screw together
ensuring a snug and pressure-tight fit.
6. First pull back the retaining sleeve of the safety trigger gun, then
insert lance into the plug coupling sconnection of the safety trigger gun.
7. After insertion of the lance, release retaining sleeve and make sure that
the lance is in a secure position. Grease quick release nipple regularly using
acid-free grease.
During operation, the plug-in coupling must not be operated/touched! High risk
of injury!
30
Putting into operation
Prior to insertion, check plug coupling connection of lance for cleanliness
(sand, dirt ..) and use clear water to clean, if necessary. Impurities may
damage the sealing in the plug coupling.
When using high-pressure hose extensions take care that the max. length of 20
m is not exceeded!
Accessories may only be connected to a Kränzle-approved trigger gun with
safety catch.
8. Check water inlet filter for cleanliness prior to putting the high-
pressure cleaner into operation. Unscrew the filter cup manually, take out the
water inlet screen, flush thoroughly and clean with the remaining parts under
clear water. If the screen is dirty, no water can run through and no pressure
can build up.
Check the water inlet sieve for damage. Do not operate the high-pressure
cleaner without or with a damaged filter.
9. Connect water hose to water inlet (minimum requirements; 5 m hose length,
cross-section ¾”, 10 bar). The highpressure cleaner may be connected to a
water mains (1-10 bar pre-pressure) with either cold or hot water (up to 60
°C). The e-therm-series provides the opportunity of sucking in water out of a
container (see direct suction).
Be careful when using hot water! When running your high-pressure cleaner with
hot water of 60 °C raised temperatures occur. Do not touch the metal parts of
the high-pressure cleaner without safety gloves!
31
Putting into operation
10. Connect to circuit (see technical data).
Do not touch the mains plug or any live parts with wet or moist hands. 11.
When using the turbokiller (available optionally), ensure that the lance is
pointing down for start-up.
Prior to putting the high-pressure cleaner into operation make sure that all
safety instructions be observed.
Putting into operation
Usage as a cold water high-pressure cleaner
1. Switch on high-pressure cleaner with opened trigger gun (trigger pulled).
Bleeding of the high-pressure cleaner: Pull and release trigger of trigger gun
with safety catch several times. Start with cleaning process.
2. When starting the cleaning process do not aim the water jet towards the
object you want to clean for at least 30 seconds. Maybe the water inside the
combustion chamber has changed colour due to the rest time.

1. Hochdruckreiniger bei geöffneter Sicherheits-Abschaltpistole einschalten.
Den Hochdruckreiniger entlüften: Sicherheits-Abschaltpistole mehrmals öffnen
und schließen.
2. Set desired temperature at the thermostat. (Min. temperature 40 °C). On
the subject of thermostat settings, see chapter “Functional details” in these
operating manual.
3. Switch on heater switch. The water is heated up and constantly kept at the
set temperature. Start with cleaning process.
During high-pressure operation (above 30 bar) the temperature may not exceed
90 °C.
34
Direct suction
Direct water extraction
Due to the suction capacity of its high-pressure pump (up to 2.5 m suction
height, max. hose length 3 m) this high-pressure cleaner can suck in water for
cleaning purposes from separate containers or ponds. In this case the water
tank must be bypassed.
1. Unsrew connecting hose between high-pressure pump and water tank.
2. Screw suction hose with suction filter (ord. no.: 150383) with connecting
hose using a spreaded steel pipe fitting (ord. no.: 46004).
3. Put filled suction hose into the waterfilled container and start the
cleaning job. Use clean water only! Never suck in water containing chlorine!
Do not suction air!
Prior to starting the first suction the high-pressure pump and the suction
hose has to be filled with water!
Note Depending on the water quality it may occur after a prolonged standstill
that the valves get sticky. Consequently the high-pressure cleaner cannot
properly suck in water from a container. In this case connect a hose with
pressurized water to the pump inlet. Having started the high-pressure cleaner
the pressurized water opens the valves and the machine resumes sucking in
water from the container. Now you can carry on with your cleaning task as
usual.
35
Taking out of operation
1. Switch off the high-pressure cleaner 2. Cut off the water supply 3. Open
the safety trigger gun catch briefly until the pressure is released 4. Apply
safety catch on the trigger gun 5. Remove high-pressure hose and safety
trigger gun 6. Emptying high-pressure pump: Hold high-pressure hose and switch
motor on until water jet stops escaping at the outlet. 7. Pull the plug from
the socket 8. Clean high-pressure hose and wind up without loops, fix hose
drum
9. Clean and wind up the power supply cable
10. Clean the water inlet sieve
11. Apply locking brake
12. Store high-pressure cleaners in frost-free rooms in winter
Frost protection (e-therm 500 M 18, e-therm 500 M 24)
For protecting the high-pressure cleaner against frost please empty it
completely. Separate high-pressure cleaner from water supply and switch it on.
By opening the safety trigger gun the high-pressure pump presses water out of
the water tank. However, do not allow the high-pressure cleaner to operate
without water for more than one minute.
Frost protection (e-therm 603 M 36, e-therm 873 M 36, e-therm 873 M 48)
For protecting the high-pressure cleaner against frost please empty it
completely. Separate high-pressure cleaner from water supply and switch it on.
By opening the safety trigger gun the high-pressure pump presses water out of
the water tank. However, do not allow the high-pressure cleaner to operate
without water for more than one minute. Fill the anti-freeze agent into the
water box and turn on the high-pressure cleaner. Wait with opened gun until
the agent spurts out of the nozzle.

Particular rules, directives and inspections, Care and Maintenance
Inspections performed by Kränzle
– Measurement of earth line resistance – Measurement of voltage and current –
Inspection of tension consistency with +/- 1530 V – Pressure check of heating
coil at 300 bar – Visual and functional check as per the inspection sheet
provided – Exhaust fume analysis (see test strips provided)
Guidelines for liquid sprayers
The machine conforms with the “Guidelines for liquid sprayers”. These
guidelines are issued by the organisation of trade associations and may be
obtained from Carl Heymann-Verlag KG, Luxemburger Str. 49, 50939 Köln. These
guidelines specify that this machine is to be inspected by qualified personnel
whenever necessary, but no less than once every 12 months. These inspections
must be recorded in the inspection log at the end of this manual.
Duties of owner
The owner is to ensure that all safety-relevant components are in a
serviceable condition before the sprayer is used. (e.g., safety valves, hose
and electric cables, spray equipment etc.)
Yearly, or after approx. 500 hours of operation:
– Check flow heater for scale, descale if necessary. – Change the oil See
chapter ,,General rules” in these Operating Instructions.
The machine must be disconnected from the power supply when servicing work is
being carried out. The main switch should be in position “0” and the plug out
of the socket.
37
Small repairs – do it yourself
Problem
No water from nozzle although the high-pressure cleaner is running. The
stainless steel pressure gauge shows full pressure.
Cause
Most likely the nozzle is blocked.
The stainless steel pressure gauge shows full pressure, but from the nozzle
comes only little water or no water at all.
(Inside the stainless steel pressure gauge is no water but a filling with
glycerin to damp the vibration of the pointer.)
Proceeding: Switch off the high-pressure cleaner. Pull plug from the socket.
Operate safety trigger gun catch several times to decrease the pressure.
First remove the trigger gun with safety catch and the lance and flush the
highpressure hose clear of potential residues. Check water inlet filter for
soiling.
If the problem still exists, take wire (paper clip) and push through nozzle
opening. If this procedure is not successful, the nozzle has to be replaced.
Pull plug from socket prior to starting any repair work!
38
Small repairs – do it yourself
Problem
Irregular jet from nozzle. The stainless steel pressure gauge shows low
pressure.
Cause
Most likely the valves are soiled or sticky.
The stainless steel pressure gauge shows low pressure despite fully turned up
pressure regulation. The water from the lance comes in squirts. The high-
pressure hose vibrates.
(Inside the stainless steel pressure gauge is no water but a filling with
glycerin to damp the vibration of the pointer.) Proceeding: Unscrew all 6
valves, one after the other (hexagonal brass screws, 3 in a row, vertically
and horizontally)
Take out valve body and O-ring by means of needle nose pliers. Check O-ring
for damage. In case of a damage the O-ring has to be replaced.
Take a wire (paper clip) and clean valves under running water.
Do not forget the O-ring during reassembly!
39
Small repairs – do it yourself
Problem
After closing the safety trigger gun the high-pressure cleaner keeps switching
on and off. The stainless steel pressure gauge continuously displays full
pressure.
Possible cause No. 1
Leakage.
Having closed the trigger gun with safety catch, the high-pressure cleaner
must shut down and the stainless steel pressure gauge must show the permitted
deactivation pressure (see rating plate). If not shut down and the stainless
steel pressure gauge continuously shows full pressure (device does not switch
to bypass), this could be due to leakage at the high-pressure pump, at the
pressure switch, at the high-pressure hose or at the trigger gun with safety
catch. Proceeding: Check connections from the high-pressure cleaner to the
high-pressure hose and from the high-pressure hose to the safety trigger gun
and also the connection between lance and safety trigger gun for tightness.
Switch off the cleaner. Shortly press the trigger of the trigger gun with
safety catch to decrease the pressure. Remove high-pressure hose, trigger gun
with safety catch and lance and check the O-rings. If the O-rings are damaged
they have to be replaced.
In case of a leakage there is no guarantee for possible consequential damages.
40
Small repairs – do it yourself
Problem
After closing the safety trigger gun the high-pressure cleaner keeps switching
on and off. The stainless steel pressure gauge continuously displays full
pressure.
Possible cause No. 2
The non-return valve is defective. Proceeding: Switch off the high-pressure
cleaner and pull plug from socket. Stop water supply. Operate safety trigger
gun catch several times to decrease the pressure. Unscrew pump outlet.
Remove check body and check O-Ring for soiling or damage. Also check seal seat
inside pump housing for soiling or damage.
If sealing rings are defective replace O-rings at once.
There is no guarantee if the high-pressure pump is damaged by defective
O-rings due to air induction or lack of water (cavitation).
