1 Important safety instructions

For your own safety

The high-pressure cleaner should only be used by author- ized persons who have been instructed in its use.

Although extremely easy to operate, children should not be allowed to use the cleaner.

General

Use of the high-pressure clean- er 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- ognized regulations for safety and proper use.

Do not use any unsafe work techniques.

Transport

For safe transport in and on vehicles we recommend pre- venting the equipment from sliding and tilting. Secure it with tie-downsl.

For transport at temperatures around or below freezing 0°C (32°F), anti-freeze should be drawn into the pump beforehand (see chapter 6).

Before starting the cleaner

CAUTION!

High-pressure water jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must not be directed at persons, animals, live electri- cal equipment or the cleaner itself.

Wear appropriate protective clothing and eye protection.

Do not direct the jet towards yourself or towards other per- sons in order to clean clothes or footwear.

During operation of the cleaner,

recoil forces are produced at the gunvalve and spray lance and, when the spray lance is held at an angle, a torque is also cre- ated. The gunvalve and spray lancemust therefore be held firmly in both hands.

Do not use the cleaner when other people without protective clothing are in the working area.

Check that cleaning will not result in dangerous substances (e.g. asbestos, oil) being washed off the object to be cleaned and harming the envi- ronment.

Do not clean delicate parts made of rubber, fabric, etc. with the 0° jet. Keep some distance between high pressure nozzle and surface in order to prevent the surface from damage.

Do not use the high-pressure hose for lifting loads.

NOTE!

The maximum permissible working pressure and tempera- ture are printed on the high- pressure hose.
