1 Important safety instructions
Symbols used to mark
instructions
Before using the
high-pressure
cleaner, be sure
to also read the
enclosed operat-
ing instructions
and keep them within reach at
all times.
For your own safety
The high-pressure cleaner should
only be used by authorized per-
sons who have been instructed
in its use.
Although extremely easy to
operate, children should not be
allowed to use the cleaner.
General
Use of the high-pressure cleaner
is subject to the applicable local
regulations.
Besides the operating instruc-
tions and the binding accident
prevention regulations valid in
the country of use, observe rec-
ognized regulations for safety
and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Transport
Transport of the high-pressure
cleaner is easy on its large
wheels.
For safe transport in and on ve-
hicles we recommend preventing
the equipment from sliding and
tilting. Secure it with tie-downs
and apply the parking brake on
the castor wheel.
For transport at temperatures
around or below freezing C
(32°F), anti-freeze should be
drawn into the pump beforehand
(see chapter 6).
Before starting the cleaner
If your 3-phase cleaner was
supplied without a plug, have
it tted with a suitable 3-phase
plug with ground, by a qualied
electrician.
Before use, check that the high-
pressure cleaner is safe and in
proper condition.
Regularly check whether the
power cord is damaged or shows
signs of ageing.
Use the high-pressure cleaner
only when the power cord is in
a safe condition. (risk of electric
shock using damaged cord!).
Check the rated voltage of the
high-pressure cleaner before
connecting it to the mains power
supply. Ensure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate cor-
responds to the voltage of the
power supply.
We strongly recommend that the
power supply to the high pres-
sure cleaner be connected via a
residual current circuit breaker.
This device stops the supply of
electricity if the leakage current
to the ground exceeds 30 mA for
30 ms or it has an ground tester
circuit.
Please observe the regulations
and provisions applicable in your
area. Before putting the high-
pressure cleaner into service,
carry out a visual check of all
the major components.

in these operating
instructions which
must be observed
to prevent risks
to persons are marked with this
danger symbol.
This symbol is used to
mark safety instruc-
tions that must be
observed to prevent
damage to the machine
and its performance.
This indi-
cates tips
and instructions

CAUTION!
High-pressure water jets can
be dangerous if misused. The
jet must not be directed at
persons, animals, live electri-
cal equipment or the cleaner
itself.
Wear appropriate protective
clothing and eye protection.
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other per-
sons in order to clean clothes or
footwear.
During operation of the cleaner,
recoil forces are produced at the
gunvalve and spray lance and,
when the spray lance is held at
an angle, a torque is also created.
The gunvalve and spray lance-
must therefore be held rmly in
both hands.
Do not use the cleaner when
other people without protective
clothing are in the working area.
Check that cleaning will not
result in dangerous substances
(e.g. asbestos, oil) being washed
off the object to be cleaned and
harming the environment.
Do not clean delicate parts
made of rubber, fabric, etc. with
the jet. Keep some distance
between high pressure nozzle
and surface in order to prevent
the surface from damage.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.
NOTE!
The maximum permissible work-
ing pressure and temperature
are printed on the high-pressure
hose.
Do not use the cleaner if the
power cord or high-pressure
hose is damaged.
Ensure adequate air circulation.
Do not cover the cleaner or oper-
ate it in inadequately ventilated
rooms!
Store the cleaner where
it will not be exposed
to frost!
Never operate the cleaner with-
out water. Even brief shortages of
water result in severe damage to
the pump seals.
Operation
Keep cabinet and service door
closed during operation.
CAUTION!
Unsuitable extension cords
can represent a source of dan-
ger. Always unwind cord from
the reels completely to prevent
the power cord overheating.
Connectors and couplings of
extension cords must be wa-
tertight.
Extension cords are not recom-
mended, however if necessaray
refer to the following recommen-
dations:
Cord length
m
Cross section
up to16 A up to 25 A
up to 20 m
(US: 30 ft)

not recom-
mended
20 to 50 m
ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm²
Do not damage the power cord
(e.g. by driving over it, pulling or
crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug only (do not
pull or tug the power cord).
CAUTION!
Unsuitable fuels (e.g. gasoline)
must not be used as they can
explode and catch re.
Use clean fuel only, free of mois-
ture and contamination. Contact
your dealer for fuel source and
type recommendations.
This machine can be used with
Bio-Diesel (DIN 51606). However,
our experience has shown that
the fuel quality is often outside
the recognized standards. An or-
ganic product like Bio-Diesel can
be affected by long-term storage
(e.g. over the winter), extreme
temperatures, or improper trans-
portation. When the condition of
the fuel is outside the standards,
trouble may occur which cannot
be covered by the Warranty.
If the machine is to be oper-
ated at fuel stations or in other
potentially hazardous areas, the
machine may only be employed
outside the hazard areas dened
in the German „Technical Guide-
lines for Inammable Fluids“ ap-
plicable at the point of use due
to the potential explosion hazard
posed by the burner.
If the machine is to be operated
indoors, the local building regu-
lations must be observed for the
discharge of the exhaust fumes
into the atmosphere. Ensure an
adequate supply of fresh air.
If the machine is to be con-
nected to a ue gas stack, then
local building regulations must be
observed. We will be glad to pro-
vide tips for connection systems,
on request.
CAUTION!
Do not touch or cover the ex-
haust. Risk of burns and re.
Electrical equipment
CAUTION!
Never spray electrical equip-
ment with water: risk of elect-
trical shock and short-circuit.
The cleaner may only be con-
nected to a correctly installed
plug socket.
Switching on the cleaner may
cause voltage uctuations.
Voltage uctuations should not
occur if the impedance at the
transfer point is less than 0.15Ω.
If in doubt ask your local electric-
ity supplier.

Maintenance and repair
CAUTION!
Always remove the plug from
the power supply before clea-
ning or carrying out mainte-
nance work on the cleaner.
Carry out only the maintenance
operations described in the op-
erating instructions. Use only
original Nilsk-Alto spare parts.
Do not make any technical
modications to the high-pres-
sure cleaner.
Ensure that the machine is
regularly serviced by authorized
Nilsk-Alto dealers in accordance
with the maintenace plan. Failure
to do so will void the warranty.
CAUTION!
High-pressure hoses, ttings
and couplings are important
for the safety of the cleaner.
Use only high-pressure parts
approved by the manufactu-
rer!
The power cord must not differ
from the version specied by the
manufacturer and may only be
changed by an electrician.
Please contact your local au-
thorized Nilsk-Alto equipment
distributor for all other mainte-
nance or repair needs!
Testing
The cleaner conforms to the Ger-
man „Guidelines for Liquid Spray
Jet Devices“. The high-pressure
cleaner must be subjected to a
safety examination in accord-
ance with the „Accident Preven-
tion Regulations for Working
with Liquid Spray Jet Devices“
as required, but at least every
12 months, by an authorised
inspector.
After all repairs or modications
to electrical equipment, the pro-
tective conductor resistance, the
insulation resistance and the leak-
age current must be measured.
Furthermore, a visual inspection
of the mains power lead, a volt-
age and current measurement
and a function test must be car-
ried out. Our after-sales service
technicians are at your disposal
as authorised inspectors.
The complete „Accident Preven-
tion Regulations for Working
with Liquid Spray Jet Devices“
are available from the Carl Hey-
manns Verlag KG, Luxemburger
Strasse 449, 50939 Cologne or
from the appropriate associa-
tion of employers’ liability insur-
ances.
The pressure-bearing parts of
this high-pressure cleaner have
been manufactured in accord-
ance with § 9 of the German
Pressure Vessels Ordinance
and successfully subjected to a
pressure test.
Unloader valve
Pump pressure is reduced by
means of an "unloader valve"
which returns water to the inlet
side of the pump at a minimum
pressure. The point at which
this occurs is set and sealed
at the factory and must not be
adjusted.

3.1 Transport and assembly
chine by hand from the pallet.
Due to the weight this work
should be done by at least
three persons.
CAUTION!
Do not hold the plastic tank to lift
the machine as it could become
detached from the frame.
The best places to hold the ma-
chine are
on the handle
on the frame between the front
wheels and the guide rollers.
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 supply to the burner may be nec-
essary to take account of altitude
and the resulting air pressure. This
is true whether your fuel is Natural
gas’, Propane or Diesel.
Your Nilsk-Alto hot water pressure
washer was thoroughly tested and
adjusted for optimum performance
before it left our factory. The factory
is located at approximately 200m
(650 ft) above sea level, and the
combustion settings are optimal for
that elevation.
If your location is higher than
1200m (3900 ft) above sea level,
your burner may require re-ad-
justment for proper performance
and best fuel economy. Contact
your Dealer or Nilsk-Alto for
assistance.
3.2 Set the brake
1. Before using the cleaner for
the rst time, check it carefully
for any faults or damage.
2. Run the machine only when
it is in perfect working condi-
tion.

5 Applications and methods
Efcient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few guide-
lines, combined with your own personal experience of specic clean-
ing tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can
increase the efciency of your pressure washer. Here is some basic
information about cleaning.
5.1.1 Soaking
Encrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up by a
period of soaking. This is for example an ideal method within agricul-
ture – for example, within pig sties. The ideal soaking method can be
achieved by using foam or simple alkaline detergent. Let the product
lie on the dirty surfaces for about 30 minutes before pressure washing.
The result will be a much quicker high pressure cleaning process.
5.1 Techniques
4.5 Using cleaning agents
1. Select desired detergent (A)
or (B) and amount by turning
the knob to desired percent-
age.
2. Spray the object to be
cleaned.
3. Allow the cleaning agent to
work, depending on the de-
gree of soiling. Then rinse off
with high pressure.
4.4 Pressure regulation
(VarioPress Gun)

The percentage shown in the
illustration are only approximate
data.
For special applications such as
disinfection, the exact detergent
concentration has to be deter-
mined by using a graduated
measuring container. For water
outlet volume of the machine see
chapter 9.3 technical data.
I
CAUTION!
Never allow cleaning agent
to dry on the surface to be
cleaned. The surface may be

5.1.2 Detergent and Foam
Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the
chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are ap-
plied from bottom to top, for example on a automobile bodywork, in
order to avoid “super clean” areas, where the detergent may collect
in higher concentrations and streams downwards. Let the detergent
work for several minutes before rinsing before rinsing and never let
it dry on the surface being cleaned.
5.1.3 Temperature
Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils
and fats can be broken down more effectively at higher temperatures
also. Proteins can be cleaned at temperatures of around 60°C (140°F).
Oils and trafc lm around 70°C (158°F), and grease can be cleaned
at 80°-90°C (176-194°F).
5.1.4 Mechanical Effect
In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical
effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes
offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt.
5.1.5 High Water Flow or
High Pressure
High pressure is not always the best solution and may also damage
surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water ow. Pres-
sure levels of around 100 bar (1450 psi) may be sufcient for vehicle
cleaning (in association with hot water) and higher ow levels give
the ability to rinse and ush away large amounts of dirt easily.

1. Soaking – apply foam to all surfaces (bottom to top)
and wait for approx. 30 minutes.
2. Remove the dirt from surfaces with the high pressure
lance or chosen accessory. Again,
clean from bottom
to top on vertical surfaces.
3. To ush away large quantities of dirt, change to low
pressure mode and use the higher ow to push away
the dirt.
4. Use recommended disinfectant products and methods
to ensure hygiene. Apply DES 3000 disinfectant once
the surfaces are perfectly clean.
Machinery
Tractors
ploughs etc.
Detergent injection
Powerspeed lances
Curved lances and un-
derchassis washers
Brushes
1. Apply detergent to vehicle or equipment surfaces in
order to soften up dirt and grime. Apply from bottom
to top.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance.
Clean again from bottom to top. Use accessories to
clean in difcult to reach places.
3. Clean fragile areas such as motors, rubber at lower
pressure levels to avoid damage.

5.2.3 Buildings and Equipment
These are merely several examples of cleaning tasks that can be solved by a pressure washer in asso-
ciation with accessories and detergents. Each cleaning task is different. Please consult your local dealer
or Nilsk-Alto representative in order to discuss the best solution for your own cleaning tasks.

Vehicle bodywork Standard lance
Detergent injection
Curved lances and un-
derchassis washers
brushes
Detergents
Aktive Shampoo
Aktive Foam
Sapphire
Super Plus
Aktive Wax
Allosil
RimTop
1. Apply detergent to vehicle or equipment surfaces in
order to soften up dirt and grime. Apply from bottom
to top. In cases of particularly dirty vehicles, pre-spray
with a product such as Allosil in order to remove traces
of insects etc, then rinse at low pressure and apply
normal car cleaning detergent. Let detergents settle
for 5 minutes before cleaning off. Metallic surfaces can
be cleaned using RimTop.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance.
Clean again from bottom to top. Use accessories to
clean in difcult to reach places. Use brushes in order
to add a mechanical cleaning effect. Short lances can
help for cleaning of motors and wheel arches. Curved
lances or undercarriage washers can be valuable for
the cleaning of car underchassis and wheel arches.
3. Clean fragile areas such as motors, rubber at lower
pressure levels to avoid damage.
4. Apply a liquid wax using the pressure washer in order
to protect the bodywork from pollution.

DES 3000
1. Apply thick foam over the surfaces to be cleaned. Apply
on dry surfaces. Apply from top to bottom on v
ertical
surfaces. Let the foam act for up to 30 minutes for the
optimal effect.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance.
Use applicable accessories. Use high pressure to
dislodge large amounts of incrusted dirt or grime.
Use lower pressure and high water volume in order
to rapidly ush away loose dirt and rinse surfaces.
3. Apply DES 3000 disinfectant once the surfaces are
perfectly clean.
Areas covered by amounts of loose dirt, such as animal
remains in slaughterhouses, can be removed by using
high water ow to ush away the dirt to evacuation pits
or drains.
Tank cleaning heads can be used to clean barrels, vats,
mixing tanks etc. Cleaning heads may be hydraulically or
electrically powered and give the possibility for automatic
cleaning without a constant user.
Rusted or dam-
ages surfaces prior
to treatment
Wet Sandblasting
equipment
1. Connect the sandblasting lance to the pressure
washer and place the suction tube in the sand.
2. Always wear protective equipment during sandblast-
ing.
3. Spray the surfaces to be treated with the mix of water
and sand. Rust, paint etc will be stripped off.
