Before starting the cleaner

3.1 Setting up the cleaner

Every fuel-burning appliance, such as pressure washers,
depends upon a proper mix of fuel and air (by weight)
for proper combustion. Therefore some adjustment of
the air regulation to the burner may be necessary to take
account of altitude and the resulting air pressure. This is
true whether your fuel is Kerosene or Diesel.
Your STORCH hot water pressure washer was thoroughly
tested and adjusted for optimum performance before it
left our factory.
If your location is higher than 1200m (3900 ft) above
sea level, your burner may require readjustment for pro-
per performance and best fuel economy. Contact your
Dealer or STORCH for assistance.

fully to detect any faults or damage.

3.4 Fill up fuel tank
NOTE!
At temperatures below 8° C, the fuel oil begins to soli-
dify (paraffin precipitation). This can lead to difficulties in
starting the burner. Before the winter period either add a
solidification point / flow improver (available from the fuel
oil trade) to the fuel or use winter diesel fuel.
With the machine cold:
Fill fuel tank from a clean container with a fresh fuel,
heating oil, DIN 51603-1 (without bio diesel) or Diesel EN
590 (Diesel with a bio diesel content up to 7 %).
Diesel according to EN 590 (up to 7 % bio diesel) can be
used with the following restrictions: Maximum storage
time in high pressure cleaner diesel tank: 1 month.
Diesel stored externally for more than 6 months is not
allowed to be filled into a high pressure cleaner.
Diesel EN 590 is not recommended for use in HPW's at
an ambient temperature below 0° C. Diesel EN 590 from
an open container must not be used.
The fuel must be free from contamination. Tank capacity
see chapte Technical data.
Be careful not to damage the fuel tank filter to avoid dirt
entering in the tank.
