Operating Instructions

The Bosch F016800486 Terrace Cleaner is designed for efficient cleaning of flat surfaces such as patios, driveways, and decking.

1. Preparation: Clear the area to be cleaned of any loose debris, furniture, or obstacles. For heavily soiled areas, consider pre-treating with a suitable cleaning solution if recommended by the surface material manufacturer.

2. Starting the Pressure Washer: Turn on the water supply and then switch on your high-pressure washer. Allow water to flow through the system to purge any air.

3. Cleaning Technique: Hold the terrace cleaner firmly and place it flat on the surface to be cleaned. Squeeze the trigger on your pressure washer gun to start the water flow. Move the cleaner slowly and steadily over the surface in overlapping passes. The rotating jets inside the cleaner will effectively remove dirt and grime.

4. Edge Cleaning: For cleaning edges or corners, you may need to slightly tilt the cleaner or use the standard lance of your pressure washer for precision.

5. Finishing: Once cleaning is complete, release the trigger, switch off the pressure washer, and turn off the water supply. Disconnect the terrace cleaner and lance from the pressure washer.

Maintenance and Storage

• Cleaning the Unit: After each use, rinse the terrace cleaner thoroughly with clean water to remove any dirt or debris. Pay attention to the rotating jets to ensure they are clear.

• Inspection: Regularly inspect the cleaner for any signs of wear or damage, especially the rotating jets and connections. Replace damaged parts immediately.

• Storage: Store the terrace cleaner in a clean, dry, and frost-free environment. Protect it from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disconnect it from the pressure washer and store separately.
