Water set-up information:
Ensure you have read the operating manual before use and follow all safety instructions
Always test the available water supply by running your hose into a measured container for one minute to make sure there is at least 10% more water flowing from the end of your hose where you connect it to your machine more than the machine's water output.
Always use as short as possible length of inlet hose to supply the machine water.
Longer lengths than 3 metres causes a drop in volume of water available at the furthest end.
If your water supply hose is kept on a reel - it is imperative to fully un-wind all of the low-pressure hose from the reel, failure to do so results with less water avaialable at the end of the hose where it is needed most of all.
It is better to use extenstion lengths of high pressure hose We have tested extension lengths of high pressure hose up to an additional 100 metres (110 metres total) with minimal pressure drop at the nozzle of just 25%, with only 10% drop noted using an extra 50 metres (60 metres total) of high pressure hose.
The only advice with this, is that the shock wave of water in the hose actuates the by-pass or total-stop machines.
> Water fittings
There are two water connection fittings supplied with your Kranzle pressure washer:
> As standard a Gardena Hozelock connection is supplied and fitted to most machines for immediate use straight out of the box when the water supply hose is connected to a tap.
If you plan to use your pressure washer on suction you must use the 'cap & liner' type.
Note that Gardena hozelock fittings require a degree of water pressure to form and keep a seal; using a 'push' only fitting when drawing water from a tank, or container, may allow air to be drawn in by the pump with your water supply, causing damage.
> A Kranzle Cap & Liner fitting, including a jubilee clip is also provided in the box.
We strongly suggest that you use the 'cap & liner' type fitting supplied which cannot fall away and allow for air to be draw in with the water supply.
Cap & Liner fittings should always be used if the device is drawing/sucking from a tank
Never use a hose fitting with an 'Auto shut-off' function, these do not work well with pressure washers and can cause damage.
It is possible to draw water in to the pump from a water tank.
It is impossible for one water tank to feed another without adequate water pressure, but a simple and quick conversion can be made for appliances with an integrated reservoir. > See the links below for instructions on how to:
> convert the quadro series for direct suction.
> convert the compact therm series for direct suction.
> Always ensure sufficient water is available!
> Use the correct connection type!
> Extend only the high-pressure hose, rather than both electric cable and water pipes!
