3.1 Transport and assembly
2. It is also possible to lift the ma-
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 Nilfi 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 Nilfi sk-Alto for
assistance.
3.2 Set the brake 1. Before using the cleaner for
the fi rst time, check it carefully
for any faults or damage.
2. Run the machine only when
it is in perfect working condi-
tion.
3. Set the brake.
1. The safest way to lift the ma-
chine is to use a fork-lift truck
The arrows in the illustration
indicate the best places to
position the fork.
