7.0 Questions and an swers
Why do I have to use an atomizer for some de ter -
gents?
Some detergents (except from soaps) must be
applied undiluted. For that purpose an atomizer or
maybe a brush is unique.
Why must the high pressure washer be stored in a
frost free room?
The machine may contain water which, when freez-
ing, may damage vital parts.
How do I store my high pressure washer in the best
possible way?
Always empty the high pressure washer of water by
activating the trigger of the spray gun - after having
disconnected the water supply. Always detach the
high pressure hose (only PRO 130/150/160) and
coil it up with out bending it.
May I use an ordinary detergent in my high pres -
sure washer?
No. You may damage the cleaner and achieve a bad
result. The detergents of Nilfi sk have been specially
developed for use with a high pressure washer and
ensures a correct dosage and a quick effect.
Can I do anything special to keep my high pres sure
washer in a good condition?
Yes, beyond cleaning it carefully before set aside,
it will be a good idea to lubricate the couplings now
and then with grease or vaseline.
