It is especially important to pay great attention when the high pressure cleaner is used in areas where there are moving
vehicles as these can crush or damage the power supply cable, the high pressure pipe, the cleaner gun etc.
•
During operation, never leave the water cleaner unattended and make sure it is out of children’s reach. Pay particular attention
when using it in kindergartens, nursing homes and old people’s homes, as unsupervised children, elderly people and disabled
people may be present in such places.
•
Before using the water cleaner, make sure it is in a dry place and that it is in a flat and stable position in order to
avoid accidents and prevent it from falling over.
•
Before moving the water cleaner, follow the instructions in the “
Switching off
” section.
•
Before starting the water cleaner, put on clothing which guarantees adequate protection against the possibility of
incorrect manoeuvres of the jet of pressurised water. Do not operate the water cleaner near people unless they are also
wearing protective clothing.
•
High-pressure jets of water can be dangerous if they are not used properly. Do not point the jet in the direction of
people, animals, and energized electrical appliances or towards the water cleaner itself.
•
Hold the cleaner gun firmly during use: when operating the lever (24), the operator is subjected to the backlash of
the high pressure. The power of this recoil is indicated in the table of technical specifications (recoil is expressed in N,
where 1 N = 0.1 kg).
•
Do not point the jet towards oneself or other people in order to clean off clothing or footwear.
•
To protect the environment, vehicle engines and machinery with oil-pressure circuits must only be cleaned in areas
with a suitable oil trap.
•
Vehicle tyres must be cleaned at a distance of at least 50 cm/19 in to safeguard them from being damaged by the high-
pressure jet. The first evidence of damage to a tyre is a change in colour.
•
Do not point the high-pressure jet towards materials, which contain asbestos or other harmful substances.
•
Do not use the water cleaner in the rain.
•
Pay particular attention to the instructions in the “
Checks and connection to the mains electricity supply
” section.
•
Pay particular attention to the instructions in the “
Use with detergents
” section.
•
When the water cleaner is not in use, do not leave its plug in the power outlet and disconnect it before any activity.
More precisely, make sure that the mains switch (2) is in position “0”, remove the plug from the power outlet, press
the lever (24) on the cleaner gun to eliminate any remaining pressure and bring the safety catch in its locked position
(25) (Fig. 1 - position S):
-
before leaving the high power cleaner unattended, even for only a short time;
-
after use;
In addition, wait until the high pressure cleaner has completely cooled down before cleaning or maintenance.
•
During use, do not lock the lever (24) on the cleaner gun in the open position.
•
Do not remove the plug from the power outlet by pulling on the power supply cable.
•
Do not put any reducers or adaptors between the electric plug and the power outlet.
•
Keep the power supply cable, any extension cords, the plugs and the outlets dry. Do not touch them with wet hands
.
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer or by a
Skilled Technician
, in order to avoid
a hazard.
• If, due to any reasons, the plug is cut from the power supply cable, there is the risk of electrical shock in case it is inserted
in any home socket. To avoid this ranger, it is necessary to immediately eliminate the cut plug.
• If the device is equipped with a 13 A plug conforming to standard BS 1363, it is necessary to observe what follows:
- do not use the device if the fuse cover is not present: in case it was lost, the spare cover can be ordered to the
service centre
- replace the possibly burnt fuse only with a 13 A ASTA approved fuse according to standard BS 1362; to replace
the fuse, in case of doubts, apply to a Skilled Technician or to a Qualified Electrician;
- reposition the cover in the correct way after replacing the fuse.
• Use only Diesel for motor driving. The use of any other fuel can be dangerous.
• During the operation, do not cover the water cleaner and do not place it where its ventilation could be impaired;
never cover the stack (28) emitting the boiler exhaust gases.
• When you use the water cleaner in closet environments, make sure that the exhaust gases are evacuated in the correct
way and that there is a correct ventilation (poisoning danger).
• Never bend onto the stack (28), nor touch it with bare hands (burning danger).
WARNING
• If you use the water cleaner at room temperature that is higher than 40 °C/104 °F, do not let it directly under the sun.
• If the water cleaner is used beyond 1000 m/3280 ft of height, apply to a Skilled Technician for a check and a possible
combustion adjustment.
