N Slide the intake hose as far as
possible into the detergent
container
Setting the dosage
N Select the detergent container
– Detergent metering knob at setting
A = left container
– Detergent metering knob at setting
B = right container
N Set the dosage (possible
adjustment range 0% - 6%)
N During use, always apply the
detergent from the bottom upwards
Detergent must not be allowed to dry on
the object to be cleaned.
If detergent is no longer to be added:
N Set detergent metering knob to 0
N Let the high-pressure cleaner

open until no more detergent comes
out of the nozzle
After finishing work
N Drain the detergent container and
flush it out with clean water
N Immerse the intake hose in clean
water
N Operate the spray gun and flush out
the residual detergent
Precisely calculating/setting the
detergent concentration
For a few detergents, the concentration
must be very precisely set. In this case,
measure the water flow and detergent
consumption.
N Set the nozzle sleeve to low-
pressure operation – as described
above
N Set the detergent metering knob to
"0 % (min)"
N Hold the spray gun in a suitable
empty receptacle (> 20 l) and
actuate for exactly 1 minute
N Measure the quantity of water "Q" in
the container
N Fill 2 liters of detergent diluted as
directed into a suitable container

(min) to 6 % (max)
N Hold the spray gun in a suitable

actuate for exactly 1 minute
N Read the detergent consumption
"QR" on the scale
Calculating the actual detergent
concentration:
– QR = Quantity of detergent
consumed (in l/min)
– Q = Water without detergent
(in l/min)
– V = Predilution of detergent (in %)
If the actual concentration deviates from
the desired concentration, reset knob
and repeat measurement if necessary.
Calculating the predilution of the
detergent in %
If the predilution is not indicated as a
percentage, it can be calculated using
the following table:
Example:
Calculation ratio of 1:2
– A=1
– B=2
9937BA016 KN
QR
x V = concentration
Q
Ratio
1:1 = 50 %
1:2 = 33.3 %
1:3 = 25 %
1:5 = 16.6 %
1:10 = 9 %
