AUTO BOOSTER 4 Operation 4.1 Setting up the AUTO BOOSTER The AUTO BOOSTER is designed as a user-friendly, selfservice product, where the user can buy operation time to wash his vehicle. Several features are adjustable by the owner, in order to provide a certain offering for a certain price. ● The owner must decide which payment to accept – coins of national currency and/or tokens, ● and how long washing time should be assigned to speci- 4.1.1 Coin operation fic coins / tokens.
AUTO BOOSTER To ease access to the label and coin selector switches, the coin selector can be unclipped from the front panel. Upon reception of the AUTO BOOSTER all the coins of the currencies listed on the label will be accepted. 1 2 The owner can “block” coins of the currencies not valid in his country with the “blocking switches” on the side of the coin selector .
AUTO BOOSTER On both coin selectors the “Blocking switches 1,2,3,4,5,6” can further be used to disable coins of wide tolerances. For normal operation they should all be left in the “OFF” – position. The “Blocking switches 11,12,13,14,15,16” are all used only to teach the coin selector to recognize user defined coins. Leave these in “OFF”-position for now. The Switch 8 is designated “Teach switch”. Leave this “OFF” for normal operation. 4.1.

AUTO BOOSTER 5.3 Oil Your AUTO BOOSTER is equipped with an electronic “oil sensor”, which monitors the level of lubricant oil in the high-pressure pump. If the oil level (by malfunction or excessive wear) should drop to a low level, the pump will stop and the display shows "Pump oil level low". Topping up the oil cup of the pump will be possible, but you should send for a Nilfisk-ALTO service technician as soon as possible to disclose the cause of the oil loss.
AUTO BOOSTER 5.5 Cleaning of high pressure nozzle A clogging up in the nozzle will cause the pump pressure to increase above normal operating pressure, and cleaning of the nozzle is required immediately. 1. Stop the cleaner and detach the spray lance by loosening the screw on the quick connector. 2. Clean the nozzle with the cleaning tool. IMPORTANT: ONLY use the cleaning tool when the spray lance is detached. 3. Flush the spray lance backwards with water. 4.
AUTO BOOSTER 6 Trouble Shooting You have chosen the best quality and therefore deserve the best service. The AUTO BOOSTER features an “Error detection system” that will stop the AUTO BOOSTER in case of a severe error that needs immediate attention. The display in the inspection window (12) will indicate the nature of the error. Though the user can correct some of these errors, you should note the error and contact the nearest Nilfisk-ALTO service organization.
AUTO BOOSTER 6.2 Error messages If your AUTO BOOSTER does not heat the water although heating has been chosen for the actual program step, the reason may be that the fuel container is empty or that one of the overheat melting fuses has blown/cut out. The two fuses are located at the top of the boiler and MUST ONLY be exchanged by an Nilfisk-ALTO service technician. Error Message Illegal sensor comb.
