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. Put detergent injector hose in a container with descaling agent.
3. Set detergent valve on highest concentration.
4. Set high-pressure cleaner at the main switch on "ON".
5. Hold the gun in a separate container and press the trigger gun
with safety catch.
6. Wait until descaling agent escapes at the trigger gun with safety catch
(recognizable by whitish colour).
7. Switch high-pressure cleaner at the main switch on "OFF"
and let descaling agent work for 15 - 20 minutes.
8. Switch high-pressure cleaner at the main switch on "ON" again
and rinse it for two minutes using clear water.
9. 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.
Fuel System
Your fuel may contain particles of dirt, or impurities or water may get into the tank
during refuelling. To protect the fuel pump the high-pressure cleaner is equipped
with a fuel filter. Check it regularly for dirt and exchange if applicable.
Check the tank for impurities on a regular basis. Clean the tank when necessary.
Empty the fuel tank using the drainage screw at the bottom of the tank.
Clean tank and fuel pipes thoroughly. Screw drainage screw back in.
Detergent and dirty fuel must be disposed of responsibly.
Check fuel system for dirt regularly.
No warranty is assumed for damage to the fuel system because of dirt.
The laws and regulations shall be observed and met by the operator.
