Before starting up your machine please check it carefully for any defects. If you fi nd any, do not start up your machine and contact your ALTO distributor.
Especially check:
The insulation of the electric cable should be faultless and without any cracks. If the electric cable is damaged, an authorized ALTO distributor should replace it.
Mains power connection
The following should be observed when connecting the high pressure washer to the electric installation:
Only connect the machine to an installation with earth connection.
The electric installation shall be made by a certi- fi ed electrician.
It is strongly recommended that the electric sup- ply to this machine should include a residual current device (GFCI).
Extension cable
Extension cables should be of a watertight con- struction and comply with the
1.0 mm² | max. | 12.5 m |
1.5 mm² | max. | 20 m |
2.5 mm² | max. | 30 m |
Cable connections should be kept dry and off the ground.
Always uncoil the extension cable completely to avoid heat damage to the cable.
Water connection
Connect the high pressure washer by means of the water hose to the water tap (pressure of inlet water, max. 10 bar - temperature of inlet water, max. 50°C). You may use an ordinary 1/2" garden hose of min. 5 m and max. 25 m. Attach the hose using a quick connector.
NOTE: Connection to the public mains according to regulations.
IMPORTANT! Only use water without any impuri- ties. If there is a risk of running sands in the inlet water (i.e. from your own well), an additional fi lter should be mounted.
Safety precautions
WARNING! High pressure jets can be dangerous. Never direct the water jet at persons, pets, live electrical equip- ment or the machine itself.
The operator and anyone in the im- mediate vicinity of the site of cleaning should take action to protect them-
selves from being struck by debris dis- lodged during operation. Wear goggles during operation.
Never try to clean clothes or footwear on yourself or other persons.
Do not let children or people who have not read the instruction manual operate the machine. Never use the machine in an environment where there could be a danger of explosion. If any doubt arises, please contact the local authorities.
