Cleaning And Maintenance; Routine Maintenance - Comet KA Classic Serie Bedienungs- Und Wartungsanleitung

WARNING
• When the high-pressure cleaner is left to cool down, take care that:
- the high-pressure cleaner is not left unattended in the presence of unsupervised children, elderly or
disabled people.
- the high-pressure cleaner is in a stable position and not at risk of falling over.
- the high-pressure cleaner is not in contact with inflammable materials, or in their immediate vicinity.
6.2 s
torage
• Wind up the high-pressure pipe (30) carefully and avoid bending it.
• Wind up the electric power supply cable (14).
• Put the high-pressure cleaner in a clean and dry place making sure that the electric power supply cable
and the high-pressure pipe are not damaged.
CAUTION
• The high-pressure cleaner is not frost proof.
In order to prevent the formation of ice inside the high-pressure 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.

7 Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING
• Only start cleaning and maintenance once the instructions in the "Switching off " section have been
completed.
It is particularly important to always disconnect the electricity supply.
• To safeguard the safety of the high pressure cleaner, only use the original spare parts supplied by the
Manufacturer or those endorsed by him.
• The rubber pipes, the coupling and the high-pressure lances are important for safety: only use those
endorsed by the Manufacturer.

ACTION
• Check the supply cable, high-pressure pipe, couplings, cleaner gun, lance pipe.
Should any of these parts appear to be damaged, do not use the high pressure cleaner
and contact a Skilled Technician.
• Clean the water inlet filter (39).
Unscrew the water inlet coupling (16) and remove the filter (also see fig. 1).
Usually, it is sufficient to pass the filter under running water or in a jet of compressed
air to clean it. In more difficult cases, use a lime scale remover or replace the filter.
Contact an authorised service centre for the purchase of a new filter.
• Clean the detergent suction filters.
A filter is found inside the tank (5) and is accessible after the cap (3) has been removed.
Another filter (40) is supplied with the detergent suction pipe from external tank (31).
Usually it is sufficient to pass the filters under running water or in a jet of compressed
air to clean them. In more difficult cases, use a lime scale remover or replace the filters.
Contact an authorised service centre for the purchase of new filters.
• Clean the nozzle.
It is generally sufficient to insert the pin (29) supplied into the nozzle's hole to clean it.
If this does not result in any improvement, replace the nozzle. Contact an authorised
service centre for the purchase of a new nozzle.
The professional, fixed, fan-shaped spray nozzle used on the nozzle heads (24) can
be replaced using a 14 mm pipe key (not supplied).
