 1 INTRODUCTION

RIONED thanks you for your purchase of the RIONED drain and sewer-clearing
machine. We recommend that you read this manual thoroughly and see that
the machine is handled and maintained in the proper manner. If your machine
should give trouble and need servicing, when you want to order parts, or if you
have any questions, contact your RIONED dealer.

The machine is built by:

RIONED
P.O. Box 5070
5004 EB Tilburg
The Netherlands
Telephone: +31 13 5479100
Telefax: +31 13 5479104

The Rioned high-pressure device has been especially designed and manufac-
tured for cleaning drains, walls, floors, and terraces with cold or hot water. For
cleaning drains, special nozzles are included in the delivery; for all other pur-
poses, the spray gun, which is also included, can be used.

This manual contains all the necessary information concerning control and
maintenance. If the device is positioned correctly, properly controlled, and reg-
ularly maintained, a warranty will be given according to the general conditions
of delivery. However, should it arise that the control and maintenance proce-
dures are not diligently followed, the warranty will become invalid.

Use this machine only for cleaning drains, walls, floors and terraces with cold
or hot water and to drain liquid with or without pollution like sand, stones etc.

Use this machine only outside. If you want to work inside a building to have to
ensure that there is enough ventilation.

During the time that the weather conditions are bad, we recommend that you
do not use the machine (lightning)!

Authorised personnel may only use the machine.

The machine can not be used in an explosive environment.

Fill the clean water tank only with water.

It is strongly forbidden to drain flammable materials, chemicals, and elements

with special regulations.

In this manual you will find all necessary information concerning operations and
maintaining your machine. If handled properly, your machine is guaranteed ac-
cording the general delivery conditions.

1.1 Use

The integrated engine drives the high-pressure pump, the hydraulic pump, and
the vacuum pump via a hydraulic system.

The high-pressure pump receives water from the water tank via the water filter
and pressurises it. The pressure can be continuously adjusted. The pressurised
water leaves the machine via the high-pressure hose on the reel.

02/12 7
 The vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum tank. When this pump creates
a vacuum, the tank gets filled.

The hydraulic pump drives via a hydraulic system the hose reel.

8.6 Hose guide

Purpose:

To guide safely the HP hose into the sewer.

To wind the HP hose safely on the reel drum.

Use:

• Put the end of the hose through the opening of the hose guide.
• By moving the hose guide to the right and left, you can wind the HP
hose fluently on the reel drum.
• After use, lock the support.

Advantage

• No dirty hands
• Hose lives longer
• More freedom of movement
• Security
• Hose stays cleaner.

8.7 Run dry protection

The run-dry protection has the purpose to protect the high-pressure pump.

Functioning:

02/12 33
 If the water level in the tank is too low, the run-dry protection activates.

Cancelling:
Fill the water tank. (Supply hose, Fill opening, Supply pipe...)

8.8 Pulsator system

Purpose: With less water use, quicker to the stoppage.

Construction:

The high-pressure pump has three cylinders. By normal use the three cylinders
follows each other continuously. This gives a fluent volume stream. To stop one
stroke, you get a pulsating water stream.

Control:

To close or open the 3-way valve, you start or stop the pulsator.

Use:

Use the pulsator system only to get quicker to the stoppage. Stop the pulsator
when you are to the stoppage.

Use the machine mentioned earlier in this user's manual.

8.9 Working lamp

By means of switch you can turn the working lamp ON and OFF.

8.10 Flashing orange light

By means of switch you can turn the working lamp ON and OFF.

8.11 Using the device during periods of frost (with antifreeze tank)

Your machine may freeze up during a period of frost. A number of safety pre-
cautions must be taken.

Additional preparations before departure:

1. Drain the water tank and the water filter.

2. Close the drain valve and mount the filter again.
3. Put enough antifreeze into the antifreeze tank.
4. Mount the coupling on the pump and open the valves.

02/12 34
 5. Open the high-pressure valve.
6. Start the machine and let it idle.
Note: it is not necessary to attach either a nozzle or a gun to the high-
pressure control.
7. Let the high-pressure pump remove all the water, which is still in the
high-pressure hose.
8. Close the high-pressure valve when anti freeze comes out of the HP-
hose (Watch the colour).
9. Leave the engine running for some time to allow all pipes to fill up with
antifreeze.

Return the antifreeze into the antifreeze tank

1. Couple the return hose on the HP hose.

2. Open the high-pressure valve and return hose valve.
3. Start the machine.
4. Let the high-pressure pump fill the antifreeze tank with the remaining
antifreeze.

Warning:
The pump is not run dry protected!

5. Switch off the machine immediately in case no more antifreeze is

pumped into the antifreeze tank.

 10 MAINTENANCE

Attention!
Always stop the engine first and depressurize the system before
serving or repairing the machine.
To depressurize the system, you open the HP valve. If the spray
lance gun is attached you must also pull the trigger.

10.1 Daily 1. Oil level

maintenance
Check all oil levels once a week. Add oil, if necessary.
If an oil level has dropped, this implies a leak in the system. In which case,
check all gaskets, couplings, and (hydraulic) pipes in the system. Immediately
repair damage and fill the system with the correct oil.

Mark!
During the settling-in period, the oil consumption can be more
than usually.

2. Cleaning water filter:

a Close the supply valve in the suction pipe.
b Unscrew cap from the filter piece.
c Clean the filter and concerning parts.
d After cleaning, assemble the parts in opposite order.
e Open supply valve.
f Check for leakage.

10.2 Weekly 1. Cleaning:

maintenance Clean the carriage weekly. Use car shampoo and plenty of water.

10.3 Minor Minor servicing must be carried out EVERY 250 WORKING HOURS (or at least
servicing once every 6 months) and includes the following parts of the machine:

1. Carriage:
Lubricate all mechanical moving parts in the system. Check that all
nuts and bolts have been correctly tightened.
2. Pump system
• Cleaning the high-pressure control:
When the high-pressure valve has been closed, the pressure gauge
should not indicate any pressure. Similarly, if the spray gun is connect-
ed and closed, the pressure gauge should not indicate any pressure. If
the pressure gauge does indicate a pressure, this implies a leakage in
the system or that the one-way valve may be dirty or damaged. In
which case stop the machine, unscrew the hose coupling and clean or
replace the one-way valve. Also, check the condition of the O-ring and
gasket.
Regularly clean the high-pressure control. Carefully remove all dirt!
Proper maintenance will increase the service life of this part.
• Changing the pump oil:
Change the pump oil in the high-pressure pump after every 250 work-
ing hours (or at least once a year).

02/12 57
 For more information concerning the pump, you can find it in the enclosure de-
livered with this machine.

02/12 70
 Important!
You have to renew the environment friendly hydraulic oil ones a
year.

Description

Hydraulic oil is an environment friendly oil based on vegetable oil. By use of

natural vegetable oil, the hydraulic oil is neutral for the environment and is bi-
ologically decomposable. When spilling some oil, the ground as well the around
water are less damaged by contamination.

Characteristics

It is possible to use the oil for a wide temperature range by having of good vis-
cosity from different temperatures.

The good lubrication characters take care of protection against wastage.

If this oil should be used, one have to remind that the standing time of this oil
is shorter than the standing time of a premium mineral hydraulic oil.

The quick connect couplings can get stocked in consequence of the resinifica-
tion of spilled oil. It's recommended to remove the spilled oil as soon as possi-
ble.

This oil meets the requirements of the lubrication technical characteristics, like
they are being stated in DIN 51 524, part two for HPL hydraulic oils.

This oil goes well together with elastomer, which is made of nitrorubber, poly-
acrylate, silicone and epihydrogen chloride.

Use

This oil is universal as hydraulic oil and is very suitable for use in hydraulic in-
stallations, which are being used often in environmental areas, like: close to
rivers and lakes in water catchments areas in the wood construction

Precautionary measures

The mixing with motor oils has a negative influence for quality of this oil; con-
sequences: formation of foam and obstruction of filters.

Hygiene and health

This oil is a safe product, but too much and long contact with skin is bad and
one also have to take care of personal hygiene. If some more information is
needed with regards to toxicology or the safety of petroleum products please
do not hesitate to contact us.
