CAUTION
Before discharging waste water into waste water channels, you must obtain a permit from the local water authority.
If you intend to discharge the waste water into a waste water channel, only use biodegradable strippers that comply
with water hazard class I, as dissolved strippers cannot be filtered. In all other cases, you may need to collect the
waste water in tanks and dispose of the waste water in line with your local water authority's regulations.
You cannot use the "Radikalfresser" stripper by Sikkens with this machine.
Caution: Acidic cleaning agents (e.g. stone cleaner) can cause damage to the cleaning attachment.
For any questions, please contact the STORCH hotline free throughout Germany at 0800-7867247.
Commissioning the Power HD Krake:
The high pressure cleaner and suction unit must be connected to separate power supplies as the suction unit requires a
current of approx. 11 A, and - depending on the pressure cleaner you use - a single 16 A power supply could be overloa-
ded. Place the upper suction basket and the upper container ring on the lower barrel and always connect the two using
the 3 tension locks! Using the high pressure hose, connect the high pressure cleaner to the cleaning attachment. Using
the suction hose connect the cleaning attachment and the suction unit. Plug the immersion pump plug (on the outside
of the barrel) into the socket provided on the suction basket. Check whether the suction unit, pump and discharge hose
are ready for operations. To do so, switch on the suction unit and the high pressure cleaner (switch the two motors on
the High Pressure System Krake on one after another - not at the same time, and then switch on the high pressure
cleaner) and place the cleaning attachment on the surface you wish to clean. Actuate the pistol grip on the cleaning
attachment and check whether the rotating nozzle is turning.
Water pressure and temperature
The cleaning attachment should be charged up to max. 200 bar. In order to prevent damage, select a water pressure on
the high-pressure cleaner that is suitable for the substrate.
CAUTION
The max. preset water temperature should not exceed 80 °C. A temperature monitor switches off the suc-
tion unit and the integrated immersion pump in the event of excessive temperature. Allow the system to
cool down for approx. 15 minutes and then switch the suction unit and immersion pump back on. For more
effective cooling, please open the suction unit by removing the suction basket from the lower barrel.
Cleaning attachment:
CAUTION
Never look or reach into the attachment! Risk of injury! The height of the sealing brushes can be adjusted
by loosening the outer screws. When working on smooth substrates the sealing brushes should be retracted
as far as possible. When working on rough substrates the sealing brushes should be extended in accordance
with the depressions in the substrate. Adjust the sealing brushes in such a way that no water escapes from
the cleaning attachment and that a light, fluid movement of the attachment is possible over the substrate.
Make sure that the inside of the cleaning attachment is free of soiling that could prevent the rotating nozzles from turning.
Before starting work, check that water is exiting both nozzles on the rotating head, and that the water pressure is turning
the head in the cleaning attachment (never switch on the high pressure cleaner to do this).
CAUTION
Never look into the cleaning attachment from the side and never look directly into the rotating nozzle
while actuating the hand valve! If water is not ejected smoothly from the nozzles, it may mean they need
cleaning. In order to do this, use an 8 mm flat spanner to remove the two nozzles from the supporting arms,
and carefully clean the inner bores. Actuate the hand valve again to flush out any particles that have been
clogging the supporting frame. Then reattach the nozzles and use the spanner to tighten the connections.
Remove any soiling that has built up on the roller bearings if the roller bearings do not turn easily.
