The method of application and the dosage of the individual products appear on 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 0-5%, and thus most cleaning jobs will be covered (also see section 3.1.5).
Change from application of detergent under low pressure to cleaning under high pressure is simply effected
by switching 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 you are now 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.
