 2.0 Instructions for use Safety precautions and warnings GB
Before starting up your high pressure washer for the first time, we advise you to read through the following
sections: 2.0 Instructions for use and 3.0 Operating instructions and to follow all instructions to ensure the
protection of user, surroundings and machine.

2.1 Starting-up
Upon the unpacking of your machine please check it for any defects. If you find any, we kindly ask you to
contact your ALTO distributor.
Check the electric cable
The insulation of the electric cable should be quite faultless and without any cracks.
Please contact a qualified electrician or the nearest ALTO distributor if any doubts arise.
Check the voltage
Check that the voltage stated on the model tag corresponds to your mains voltage.
Power consumption, fuse
Check the power consumption stated on the model tag and then check correct prefuse.
Mains power connection
Faulty connection of the machine can cause electric shock.
l Only connect the machine to an installation with earth connection.
l If you are in doubt about connections, please contact a qualified electrician for correct installation.
l We recommend you to connect the machine to a power source with a Residual Current Device (RCD),
which will disconnect the power supply if the leakage current exceeds 30 mA for 30 milli seconds.
l The electric supply connection shall be made by a qualified electrician and comply with the latest edition
of the IEC Wiring Regulations.
Extension cable
If you want a wider radius of action ALTO highly recommend you to use an extension hose instead of an
extension cable. Where impracticable seek advice of a qualified electrician or the nearest ALTO distributor.
If you want to apply an extension cable when operating a three-phase high pressure washer, we recom-
mend you to use the cable dimensions mentioned below: (The use of the stated cable dimensions implies
that the mains voltage supplies a stable voltage corresponding to that stated on the model tag).
I 0<I<10 Amp 10<I<16 Amp 16<I<25 Amp 25<I<32 Amp
m mm² mm² mm² mm²
0-50 1,5 1,5 2,5 4,0
51-75 1,5 2,5 2,5 4,0
76-100 1,5 2,5 4,0 6,0

NOTE: If an extension cable is required it must be earthed and connected through the plug to the
earth cable of your supply network in accordance with prescribed safety regulations.
l Extension cable, plug and socket should be waterproof.
l Always use a cable similar to the one mounted on the machine i.e. with earth connection and for outdoor
use. If you are in doubt, please contact a qualified electrician or the nearest ALTO distributor.
l Cable connections should be kept dry and off the ground.
l Check extension cables before usage. Don’t use damaged cables.

2.2 Operation
This machine produces a high pressure jet and operation contrary to the instructions can cause severe
injuries!
For your own and the safety of others the following precautions should always be observed:
l WARNING! Never direct the water jet towards people, pets, electric wiring, or the
machine itself.
l WARNING! Never try to clean clothes or footwear on yourself or other persons.
l We recommend you to wear goggles during operation.
l Never work barefoot or with sandals.
l Operator and anyone in immediate vicinity of the site of cleaning should take action to protect himself
from being struck by debris dislodged during operation.

4
 Safety precautions and warnings GB
l According to regulations persons under the age of 18 must not operate cleaning machines with a work-
ing pressure above 70 bar (applies to this machine).
l The machine should be placed as far away from the cleaning site as possible.
l Only let instructed personnel operate the machine.
l Don’t start the machine until the high pressure hose has been correctly mounted.
l Spray handle and lance are affected by a thrust during operation - therefore always hold the
spray lance firmly with both hands.
l At intervals during operation, the machine should be stopped and the spray handle secured
against inadvertent use by locking trigger with locking device.
l Only activate the trigger by hand. Never tie it up or fix it in any other way.
l Avoid damage to the high pressure hose such as running over by a car, squeezing, pull, knots/kinks etc.
and keep it away from oil and sharp or hot objects, as such may cause the hose to burst.
l Danger of scalding! Never dismount the high pressure hose or the water inlet hose while the machine
is in operation. Disconnect the cleaner, shut off the water supply and activate the spray handle before
dismounting the high pressure hose or the water inlet hose.
l Never jerk the cable to disconnect the plug from socket.
l Always disconnect the plug from socket prior to disconnecting any extension cables.
l Avoid damage to the electric cables such as running over by a car, squeezing, pull, knots etc. and keep
them away from sharp or hot objects.
l According to the legislation in many countries it is forbidden to use the machine in an environment where
there could be a danger of explosion. If any doubt arises, please contact your local authorities.
Important: OFFSHORE
Never use the machine in an environment where there could be a danger of explosion
(according to EN-50014).
l WARNING! High pressure hoses, nozzles and connections are important for safety when operating the
machine. Only use the high pressure hoses, nozzles and connections prescribed by ALTO.
l For safety reasons only use original ALTO accessories and spare parts.
l In icy conditions never start the cleaner until machine, hoses and accessories have thawed. Otherwise
the machine could be damaged.
l The cleaner should not be covered during operation.
2.3 Safety devices on the machine
Circulation valve (safety valve)
The pressure side of the high pressure pump is fitted with a circulation valve (safety valve). This valve
circulates the water back to the suction side of the pump when the spray handle is closed or if a nozzle is
blocked. The circulation valve has been constructed as a safety function ensuring that the pressure will
never exceed the working pressure by more than 25 bar. At this pressure the circulation valve will auto-
matically switch from high pressure to circulation mode.
The pump will overheat if it is not disconnected within 10 min. (5 min. at 60°C inlet water) and thus it may be
damaged. The circulation valve ensures that the machine becomes devoid of pressure when it is stopped.
Motor protection
The electric motor features an overcurrent release for protection of motor against overloading. In the case
of increased power consumption (maloperation) the power for the motor will automatically be disconnected.

2.4 General
l It is not allowed to clean asbestos-containing surfaces with high pressure, unless using special equipment.
l Persons under the influence of alcohol, drugs and medicine should not operate the machine.
l Never touch plug and socket with wet hands.
l WARNING! This machine has been constructed for use with ALTO detergents. The use of other deter-
gents or chemicals may cause problems as to the operation and the safety.
l When using detergents the instructions should always be strictly observed.
l Always unplug before cleaning and maintenance of the machine.
l Don’t use the machine if the electric cable or important parts of the equipment are damaged - i.e. safety
devices, high pressure hoses, spray handles, cabinet.
l The most efficient cleaning is obtained if you adjust the distance to the surface which is to be cleaned.
Thus you will also avoid damaging the surface.

 4.0 Fields of application and working methods GB
4.1 Fields of application
The most important fields of application for this product are:
Agriculture Cleaning of machinery, agricultural implements, stalls, and buildings
Transport Cleaning of trucks, buses, cars etc.
Building and construction Cleaning of vehicles, equipment, buildings etc.
Light industries Degreasing and cleaning of machines, and vehicles.
Service Cleaning of vehicles, cleaning of public paths, institutions etc.

4.2 Working pressure

The high pressure washer may be used with high or low pressure at your own option. At the standard
spray lance the working pressure is adjusted by turning the reduction valve.
Low pressure Is first and foremost used for application of detergents and for washing off.
High pressure Is used for cleaning.
Intermediate pressure As an example it may be used for the cleaning of surfaces, which cannot
stand a too powerful jet, i.e. soft surfaces.

4.3 Detergents
The most efficient cleaning is reached with detergents in conjunction with the high pressure cleaning. For
that purpose ALTO can offer you a series of products specially developed for high pressure cleaning,
among other fields within

Cleaning of vehicles, machines, stalls etc. Disinfection

Degreasing Maintenance of the high pressure washer
Descaling

The products are water-based, without phosphates, and the applied tensides (surface active substances)
comply with the present requirements for easy biodegradability.
Contact your ALTO distributor for directions as to which product will fulfil your requirements.
The method of application and the dosage of the individual products appear from the product labels or the
data sheet. The dosage is adjusted on the high pressure washer.

4.4 Dosing of detergent

The high pressure washer features a built-in injector enabling dosing of detergent to the water when the
cleaner is in low pressure mode. With this dosing unit it is possible to vary the dosing of detergent infinitely
between 0-7%, and thus most cleaning jobs will be covered (also see section 3.1.5).

10
 Fields of application and working methods GB
Adjustment of max. dosage:
1. Turn knob to step 0 (on a level with hose socket).
2. Dismount cover by pressing a flat screwdriver (approx. 3 mm) down into one of the two
grooves, upon which the cover can be tipped off.
3. Unscrew the screw by Parker’s screwdriver.
4. Remove knob.
5. Lift up lock washer and turn it until the required max. dosage is now on a level with the arrow.
6. Remount the knob - still adjusted to step 0.
7. Screw in the screw until you feel a slight resistance.
8. Press home the cover over the knob.

Change from application of detergent under low pressure to cleaning under high pressure is simply ef-
fected by regulating from »low pressure mode« to »high pressure mode« on the spray lance. You will not
have to mount or dismount any parts by normal use of detergent.

For foam cleaning you will have to mount the special foam injector between the high pressure washer and
the high pressure hose. Insert the suction hose of the injector into the foam detergent. Mount foam lance
on spray handle and now you are ready for foam application. Upon the application dismount the foam
injector and replace the foam lance by a spray lance and you are ready for cleaning.

4.5 Working methods

Your high pressure washer has been developed for cleaning according to the so-called »2-step method«.

STEP 1 Application of detergent

STEP 2 High pressure cleaning

In practice the working process is laid down in accordance with the actual job, but as a starting point the
following working method can be described for a job:
1. Apply detergent under low pressure. The dosage is chosen according to the job, which is to be carried
through, and the adjustment is made on the dosing unit.
2. Await acting time. Let the detergent act on the dirt/surface for a short time prior to pressure cleaning
- usually a few minutes.
3. High pressure cleaning. Clean all surfaces under high pressure.
4. Rinse afterwards, if necessary. To make sure that residual impurities are removed from the surface.

In connection with the working process the optimum cleaning will be reached by following these 3 pieces
of advice:

Advice no. 1
When using a detergent, usually alway apply it on a dry surface. If the surface is rinsed with water at first, it
may be difficult for it to absorb the detergent, and the result is a reduced effect of the detergent.
Advice no. 2
When applying a detergent on large vertical surfaces (i.e. the sides of a truck) work from below and up-
wards. Thus you will avoid the detergent running off the surface through grooves and dark streaks appear-
ing on the surface whilst cleaning.
Advice no. 3
During the high pressure cleaning you should work so that the high pressure water does not run over the
surface which has not been cleaned yet. This is to ensure that there is sufficient detergent on the surface
when the high pressure water hits the surface.

11
 5.0 Pre-priming (only 40C) GB
The pressure washer is pre-priming, and the water can be taken from a tank, a stream or the like. The
suction height depends on the water temperature. Max. suction height of 3 m is reached with cold water
(up to 12°C). If there is a risk of impurities (such as running sand) in the inlet water, an external filter must
be mounted beyond the internal filter. Please contact your ALTO distributor for further information.

6.0 Maintenance
Your ALTO high pressure washer is maintenance-free and therefore no special qualifications are required
for the daily use.
However, it applies to the most exposed components that a minimum of maintenance ensures a prolonged
and problem-free operation. Therefore it will be a good idea to make a habit of the following:

Before mounting the water hose and the high pressure hose the quick couplings should be
cleaned of dust and sand.

Before mounting spray lance or any other accessory on the spray handle, the machine should
be started and the quick coupling cleaned of dust and sand.

In periods where detergents are not used the injector system should be flushed through with
pure water to avoid drying up/clogging up of soap in the system.

The water filter should be cleaned once a month or more frequently as occasion requires.

The machine should be stored in a frost-free room. If by mistake the machine freezes up, it
must not be started. Let machine, hoses and accessories thaw up before starting up. NEVER
START A FROZEN UP MACHINE.

6.1 Cleaning of high pressure nozzle

A clogging up in the nozzle causes a pump pressure which is too high, and cleaning is immediately re-
quired.

1. Stop the cleaner and dismount the spray lance.

2. Clean the nozzle with ALTO nozzle cleaning tool no. 6401654.
IMPORTANT: ONLY use the cleaning tool when the spray lance is dismounted!
3. Flush the spray lance backwards with water.
4. If the pressure is still too high, repeat items 1-3.

 8.0 Functional description GB
High pressure pump, water system
The water passes from the quick coupling (a) through a water filter (b) and into the high pressure pump (c). The high pressure pump is a piston pump
with internal valve systems ensuring that the pump will supply an exactly measured out water volume per unit of time.
The water circulates from the pump (c) to a circulation system (g) with a safety valve (f).
When the spray handle is closed or the nozzle (o) is blocked, the water will automatically be recirculated to the suction side of the pump.
The circulation valve is adjusted (constructed) to open at approximately 25 bar above the working pressure. When stopped the cleaner will
automatically be devoid of pressure. The safety valve is adjusted and sealed from the factory, and the adjustment must not be changed.
The water proceeds through the detergent injector (h) which is controlled by the dosing unit (j) with filter (i) and then it passes through the outlet socket
of the machine (k). Then through the hose (l) and the valve of the spray handle (m) and the valve of the spray lance (n) and finally through the nozzle
(o) where the water has reached a very high speed.
Electric motor
The air-cooled motor is protected against overloading, as the starter switch features a motor protection device. This cuts out the current in the event of
a continuously high power consumption, a blocked rotor, and phase drop-out.
If the power for the motor is cut off because of an overloading, the motor can only be restarted by activating the start button.
In case the motor stops because of interrupted power supply the motor can be restarted by connecting the power supply.
NB: it is not permissible to change the electric coupling of the machine.

Das Wasser wird über die Einlaß-Schnellkupplung (a) durch das Wassereinlaßfilter (b) in die Hochdruckpumpe (c) geleitet. Die Hochdruckpumpe
ist eine Stempelpumpe mit internen Ventilsystemen, die sicherstellen, daß die Pumpe eine genau abgemessene Wassermenge je Zeiteinheit liefern
kann. Das Wasser wird von der Pumpe (c) in das Umlaufventilsystem (g) mit Sicherheitsventil (f) geleitet.
Wenn die Spritzpistole geschlossen oder eine Düse verstopft ist, wird das Wasser automatisch zur Ansaugseite der Pumpe zurückgeleitet.
Das Umlaufventil ist konstruktiv so eingestellt, daß es sich bei 25 bar Überdruck öffnet. Bei Betriebsstop wird das Gerät automatisch entlastet. Das
Sicherheitsventil ist werksseitig justiert und verplombt. Seine Einstellung darf nicht geändert werden.
Das Wasser läuft an dem Reinigungsmittelinjektor (h) vorbei, der von der Dosierungseinheit (j) mit Filter (i) gesteuert wird, und läuft danach aus dem
Auslaßstutzen (k) des Gerätes. Danach durch den Schlauch (l) und das Ventil (m) der Spritzpistole und schließlich durch die Düse (o), wo das
Wasser eine sehr hohe Geschwindigkeit erreicht.
Der Elektromotor
Der luftgekühlte Motor ist gegen Überlastung geschützt, indem der Ein-Ausschaltknopf mit einem Motor-schutzschalter versehen ist. Bei andauernd
hohem Stromverbrauch sowie bei blockiertem Rotor und Phasenausfall wird die Stromzufuhr unterbrochen.
Wird der Motor wegen Überlastung unterbrochen, ist der Motor durch Betätigen des Ein-Ausschaltknopfes neu anzulassen.
Bei Stromausfall startet der Motor, wenn die Stromversorgung wieder hergestellt worden ist.
NB! Eine Änderung der elektrischen Kupplung des Gerätes ist nicht gestattet.

8.0 Description de fonctionnement F

La pompe haute pression, le système hydraulique
Par le raccord rapide d’arrivée d’eau (a), l’eau est conduite à travers le filtre hydraulique (b) dans le nettoyeur haute pression (c). Le nettoyeur haute
pression a une pompe à piston avec des systèmes hydrauliques lui assurant un débit d’eau constant.
De la pompe (c), l’eau est conduite au système de la vanne de dérivation (g) avec valve de sécurité (f).
Lors d’une fermeture de la gâchette ou d’une blocage de la buse (o), l’eau est automatiquement reconduite du côté aspiration de la pompe.
La vanne de dérivation est réglée pour ouverture à environ 25 bars au-dessus de la pression de travail. Lors d’un arrêt, la pression descend
automatiquement. La valve de sécurité est réglée et plombée par le fabricant et ne doit pas être touchée.
L’eau passe par l’injecteur de détergent (h), dirigé par l’unité de dosage (j) avec filtre (i) et sort ensuite de l’appareil par la tubulure d’évacuation (k).
Ensuite, elle passe à travers le flexible (l) et la vanne de la poignée de commande (m), la vanne de la lance (n) et finalement par la buse (o) où l’eau
circule à très grande vitesse.
Le moteur électrique
Le moteur à refroidissement par air est protégé contre toute surcharge, le bouton de mise en marche étant muni d’une protection moteur. Celle-ci
coupe le courant en cas d’une consommation continue à surtension ou d’un rotor bloqué et déphasé. Si le moteur est coupé à cause d’une surcharge, il
doit être redémarré par le bouton de mise en marche. En cas de coupure à cause d’une coupure de courant, le moteur redémarre automatiquement
lors du rétablissement de l’alimentation en courant.
NB : Les modifications des couplages électriques du moteur sont interdites.

8.0 Functionele omschrijving NL

Hogedrukpomp - watersysteem
Het water wordt via de snelkoppeling (a) door een waterfilter (b) naar de hogedrukpomp (c) geleid. Deze hogedrukpomp werkt met plunjers en een
intern kleppensysteem om er zeker van te zijn dat de pomp een exacte hoeveelheid water per tijdseenheid levert.
Het water loopt van de pomp (c) naar een circulatiesysteem (g) met een veiligheidsventiel.
Als het pistool gesloten of de nozzle (o) verstopt is, dan loopt het water automatisch terug naar de zuig-zijde van de pomp.
Het veiligheidsventiel is van fabriekswege afgesteld om open te gaan bij een druk van 25 bar boven de werkdruk. Wanneer de reiniger wordt
stopgezet, wordt de druk automatisch gereduceerd. Het veiligheidsventiel wordt afgesteld en verzegeld in de fabriek. De afstelling mag niet gewijzigd
worden. Het water gaat verder via de reinigingsmiddeleninjekteur (h) die geregeld wordt door de injekteur (n) met filter (i) en daarna gaat het via de
hogedruk koppeling van de machine (k). Daarna door de slang (l), de afsluiter in het pistool (m) en de regelkraan van de lans (n). Als het water
uiteindelijk uit de nozzle (o) komt, heeft het een zeer hoge snelheid bereikt.
Elektromotor
De luchtgekoelde motor is beschermd tegen overbelasting door een beveiliging, ingebouwd via de aan/uit schakelaar. Hierdoor wordt de spanning
uitgeschakeld als er sprake is van een te hoog afgenomen vermogen voor een langere tijd d.m.v. bijv. een geblokkeerde rotor of bij het wegvallen van
een fase. Als de spanning voor de motor uitgeschakeld is vanwege overbelasting, kan de motor alleen worden herstart door de startknop in stand 1 te
plaatsen. NB: Het is niet toegestaan de aansluiting van deze machine te wijzigen.
