Usage Features

The RACPWS3 offers several features for versatile cleaning:

  • Accessories: The product comes with various accessories, including a hose reel, water inlet filter, fixed brush, detergent bottle, Vario lance, Turbo lance, surface cleaner, rotary brush, and a nozzle cleaning tool. It also includes an adapter for RACPWS to RPWA accessories.
  • Vario Lance: This lance allows for adjustment of the spray pattern from a focused stream to a wider spray by turning the front end of the nozzle. Water pressure can also be increased or decreased by turning the rear end of the nozzle, with low pressure suitable for soaping applications.
  • Turbo Lance: Designed to provide a rotating water pattern for powerful cleaning. Users must ensure the trigger handle is locked before inserting the turbo lance and unlock it for operation.
  • Fixed and Rotary Brushes: These brushes can be attached to the spray angle for scrubbing surfaces. The trigger handle lock should be engaged during attachment and disengaged for use.
  • Detergent Bottle: The integrated detergent tank allows for the application of cleaning solutions. The detergent bottle head can be removed, filled with solution, and reinstalled. For detergent application, the Vario lance should be used with decreased water pressure.
  • Surface Cleaner: This accessory is designed for cleaning flat surfaces efficiently. It connects via an extension to the trigger handle.
  • Hose Reel: The product features a hose reel for convenient storage and management of the high-pressure hose.
  • Water Connection: The product connects to a garden hose (12 mm connection, max 15 m length) and requires a water source. It is crucial to use a backflow preventer if connecting to a drinking water supply, as water flowing through it is non-drinkable.
  • Safety Devices:
    • On/off switch: Prevents unintentional operation.
    • Trigger handle lock: Locks the trigger to prevent accidental activation of the high-pressure jet.
    • Pressure switch: An overflow valve prevents exceeding permissible working pressure. It turns off the pump when the trigger is released and reactivates it when pulled.
    • Overload protection: A thermal sensor protects the product from overheating by automatically shutting down power.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is essential for the product's safety, performance, and longevity:

  • General Maintenance: Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts, accessories, and attachments. Servicing should be performed by a qualified service technician at an authorised service centre.
  • Regular Inspections: Inspect the product every 6 months, checking all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Any damaged parts must be repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
  • Cleaning: After use, turn off the product, disconnect it from the power supply, and allow it to cool. Clean the product using a brush, avoiding solvents on plastic parts.
  • O-ring Replacement: Instructions are provided for removing damaged or cracked o-rings from the nozzle wand or hose end and replacing them with suitable replacements.
  • Nozzle Cleaning: If the product pulsates intermittently or water flow is uneven, the nozzle may be blocked. A nozzle cleaning tool is provided to remove blockages.
  • Storage:
    • Before storing, stop the product, disconnect from power and water supply, and allow it to cool down.
    • Remove water from all hoses and the pump, and empty the detergent tank.
    • Store the product upright in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, inaccessible to children.
    • Keep it away from corrosive agents and do not store outdoors or in temperatures below 0°C, as this can damage the product.
