The cap has a standard thread and fits
all standard detergent containers.
N Slide the intake hose as far as
possible into the detergent
container
Set the dosage
N Select the detergent container
– Detergent metering knob at setting
A = left container
– Detergent metering knob at setting
B = right container
N Set the dosage (possible
adjustment range 0% - 6%)
N During use, always apply the
detergent from the bottom upwards
Detergent must not be allowed to dry on
the object to be cleaned.
If detergent is no longer to be added:
N Set detergent metering knob to 0
N 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
N Empty the detergent tank and rinse
it with clear water
N Immerse the intake hose in clean
water
N 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.
N Set the nozzle sleeve to low-
pressure operation – as described
above
N Set the detergent metering knob to
"0 % (min)"
N Hold the spray gun in a suitable
empty receptacle (> 20 l) and
actuate for exactly 1 minute
N Measure the quantity of water "Q" in
the container
N Fill 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
N Hold the intake hose in the
container
N Set the detergent metering knob to
the desired concentration: 0 %
(min) bis 6 % (max)
N Hold the spray gun in a suitable
empty receptacle (> 20 l) and
actuate for exactly 1 minute
N Read the detergent consumption
"QR" on the scale
Calculating the actual detergent
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:
Example:
Calculation ratio of 1:2
– A=1
– B=2
9937BA016 KN
QR
x V = concentration
Q
Ratio value
1:1 = 50 %
1:2 = 33.3 %
1:3 = 25 %
1:5 = 16.6 %
1:10 = 9 %
