• Consult the operating and maintenance instructions manual for the tractor and cardan shaft,
with special reference to the safety instructions.
• Follow the instructions given in the «Switching off» section before releasing the high pressure
cleaner from the tractor. The tractor should be brought to the place where the high pressure
cleaner will be stored.
• You must wear appropriate safety clothing (gloves, overalls, boots with steel toecap, gog-
gles).
a) Take the retaining safety device (chain) off the point provided on the tractor.
b) Release the blocking system by operating the relative button, collar or flange, and take the hub
on the cardan shaft's fork off the PTO . Follow the instructions provided in the instructions
manual should the blocking system consist of a tapered bolt.
c) Remove the split pin (22) and remove the pin (21). Remove the top tension rod off the three-
point coupling and replace the pin (21) onto the chassis, securing it using the split pin (22).
d) Remove the plugs (20), release the bottom tension rods on the three-point coupling and the
pins (19) and put the plugs back onto the pins (19).
e) Now release the cardan shaft and the high pressure cleaner in a similar fashion as described
in points a) and b) above. Make sure it remains horizontal when transporting it to prevent
accidents or damage to safety devices should it become loose. Store the cardan shaft with care
in an appropriate rack or support.

• Wind up the high-pressure hose (13) carefully and avoid bending it. Hang it onto the support
provided (18) together with the cleaner gun and lance hose.
• The high pressure cleaner must be stored in a clean and dry place.

• The water cleaner is not frost proof.
In order to prevent the formation of ice inside the water cleaner in cold areas, it is possible to
make the high pressure cleaner take up a motor vehicle grade anti freeze before starting the
«Switch off» procedures. Contact a Skilled technician before attempting this as the pumped
liquid could damage the seals in the high-pressure pump.
If it is not possible to protect the high pressure cleaner in cold areas as described above, it must
be brought into a warm room for the time required to melt any ice which may have formed
inside it before attempting to start it up again.
If these instructions are not followed, the high pressure cleaner may be seriously damaged.
