The following information and examples 
of application make work easier and 
contribute to achieving an optimum 
cleaning result.
Operating pressure and water 
throughput
High pressure dissolves dirt better. The 
higher the water throughput, the easier it 
is to remove the dirt that has been 
loosened.
Clean delicate parts and surfaces (e. g. 
car paint, rubber) by applying low 
pressure or at a greater distance to 
avoid damage. 100 bar pressure is 
sufficient for cleaning vehicles.
Nozzles
Fan-jet nozzle
All-purpose – to clean parts and 
(sensitive) surfaces.
Applications:
– Cleaning vehicles and machines
– Cleaning floors and surfaces
– Cleaning roofs and facades
Rotary nozzle
To remove stubborn dirt on hard-
wearing surfaces.
Extremely dirty surfaces
Soak extremely dirty surfaces with water 
before cleaning them.
Detergents:
The cleaning effect can be improved by 
using detergents. The corresponding 
exposure time (dependent on the 
detergent used) increases the cleaning 
performance.
Do not allow the detergent to dry.
Always use detergent in the specified 
dosage and follow the corresponding 
instructions for use of the detergent.
Mechanical cleaning:
The additional use of e. g. rotary nozzles 
or washing brushes helps to remove 
highly adhesive layers of dirt.
