1 Important safety instructions
For your own safety
The high-pressure cleaner may
only be used by persons in-
structed in its use and who have
been expressly authorised to do
so.
Although extremely easy to op-
erate, children should not be al-
lowed to use the cleaner.
General
Use of the high-pressure cleaner
is subject to the applicable local
regulations.
Besides the operating instruc-
tions and the binding accident
prevention regulations valid in
the country of use, observe rec-
ognised regulations for safety
and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Transport
Transport of the high-pressure
cleaner is easy on its large
wheels.
For safe transport in and on ve-
hicles we recommend to prevent
the equipment from sliding and
tilting by fixing it with belts.
Transport (when tilted):
– do not tilt the machine on the
front with the water connec-
tions.
– remove suction hose from
the detergent tank and close
tank filler with the cap pro-
vided with the machine.
– before putting the cleaner
into operation: pay attention
to allow the pump oil to run
back into the pump housing.
Check oil level, top up if nec-
essary.
For transport at temperatures
around or below 0°C, anti-freeze
should be drawn into the pump
beforehand (see chapter 6).
Before starting the cleaner
If your 3-phase cleaner was
supplied without a plug, have
it fitted with a suitable 3-phase
plug with earth conductor, by an
electrician.
Before use, check that the high-
pressure cleaner is safe and in
proper condition.
Regularly check whether the
power cord is damaged or shows
signs of ageing.
Use the high-pressure cleaner
only when the mains power lead
is in a safe condition. (risk of
electric shock if damaged!).
Check the rated voltage of the
high-pressure cleaner before
connecting it to the mains power
supply. Ensure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate corre-
sponds to the voltage of the lo-
cal mains power supply.
We strongly recommend that the
power supply to the high pres-
sure cleaner be connected via a
residual current circuit breaker.
