Preparation | Nilfisk-Advance America P 150.1, P 130.1 guide

1.0 Preparation

Before starting up your high pressure washer, we advise you to carefully read through this instruction manual. Follow all instructions to minimize the risk of injuries when using the machine.

Prior to operation

Before you start up your new machine for the ﬁ rst time, you must mount the holder for the spray lance. It is ﬁ xed at the top of the transport handle.

Extension cable

Extension cables should be of a watertight con- struction and comply with the below-mentioned requirements for length and cable dimensions.

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.

1.Insert the holder in the recess of the handle (see illu.).

2.Fix the holder with the screw.

Mount water ﬁ lter and water inlet connection (4).

PRO 130/150/160 X-TRA:Mount the handle for the hose reel.

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 Nilﬁ sk distributor.

Especially check:

•The insulation of the electric cable should be faultless and without any cracks. If the electric cable is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized Nilﬁ sk distributor.

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).

Water connection

Connect the high pressure washer by means of a water hose to the water tap (pressure of inlet wa- ter, max. 10 bar - temperature of inlet water, max.

60°C). You may use an ordinary ½" garden hose of min. 10 m and max. 25 m. Attach the hose using a quick connector. NOTE: Connection to the public mains according to regulations.

This high pressure washer is only allowed

to be connected with the drinking water mains, when an appropriate backﬂ ow

preventer has been installed, Type BA according to EN 1717. The backﬂ ow preventer can be ordered under number 106411177. The length of the hose between the backﬂ ow preventer and the high pres- sure washer must be at least 10 metres to absorb possible pressure peaks (min diameter ½ inch). Operation by suction (for example from a rainwater vessel) is carried out without backﬂ ow preventer. Recommended suction set: 126411387.

As soon as water has ﬂ own through the BA valve, this water is not considered to be drinking water any more.

IMPORTANT! Only use water without any impu- rities. If there is a risk of running sand in the inlet water (i.e. from your own well), a ﬁ lter should be mounted.

Safety precautions

• WARNING! High pressure jets can be dangerous. Never direct the wa- ter jet at persons, pets, live electri- cal equipment or the machine itself.

• The operator and anyone in the im- mediate vicinity of the site of clean- ing should take action to protect themselves from being struck by debris dislodged during operation. Wear goggles during operation.
