Every 500 operating hours, at least annually
1. Descale the device.
2. Have the device maintained by Customer Service.
Every 5 years at the latest
 Perform the pressure test according to the manufac-
turer's specifications.

Maintenance work

Replace the oil in the high-pressure pump
See the "Technical data" section for the oil volume and
type.
1. Provide a catch pan for approx. 1 litre of oil.
2. Unscrew the oil drain plug.
3. Drain the oil into the catch pan.
Note
Dispose of the old oil in an environmentally friendly
manner or hand it over to an authorised collection point.
4. Screw in the oil drain plug.
5. Slowly fill with new oil until the "MAX" marking on the
oil tank. Air bubbles must be able to escape.
Note
See the "Technical data" section for the oil volume and
type.
Daily
1. Carry out maintenance work on the motor as direct-
ed in the motor manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions.
Deposits accumulating in the pipework increase the
flow resistance and the motor load becomes too high.
DANGER
Hazard due to inflammable gases
Risk of explosion
Do not smoke during the descaling process. Ensure
good ventilation.
DANGER
Acid danger
Risk of acid burns
Wear safety goggles and protective gloves.
Execution:
According to legal regulations, only approved boiler sol-
vents with a test certificate may be used for removing
deposits.
● RM 101; Dissolves descaling and detergent resi-
dues.
1. Fill a 20 litre container with 15 litres of water.
2. Add 1 litre of scale solvent.
3. Connect the water hose directly to the pump head
and hang the free end into the container.
4. Place the connected spray lance in the container
without a nozzle.
5. Start the motor according to the operating instruc-
tions of the motor manufacturer.
6. Open the high-pressure gun and do not close it
again during descaling.
7. Set the temperature controller to a work tempera-
ture of 40 °C.
8. Let the device run until the work temperature is
reached.
9. Switch the device off and allow it to stand for 20 min-
utes. The high-pressure gun must remain open.
10. Then pump the device empty.
Note
For the purposes of corrosion protection and neutralis-
ing acid residues, we recommend then pumping an al-
kaline solution (e.g. RM 81) through the device via the
detergent container.
