electricity if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or it has an earth tester cir- cuit.

Operate the cleaner only in an upright position!

Please observe the regulations and provisions applicable in your country. Before putting the high-pressure cleaner into serv- ice, carry out a visual check of all the major components.

CAUTION!

High-pressure water jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must not be directed at per- sons, animals, live electrical equipment or the cleaner itself. Wear appropriate protective clothing and eye protectors.

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 spraying device and, when the spray lance is held at an angle, a torque is also created. The spraying device must therefore be held firmly in both hands.

Do not use the cleaner when other people without protec- tive clothing are in the working area.

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

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.

Do not continue to use the cleaner if the mains power lead or high-pressure hose is dam- aged.

Ensure adequate air circula- tion. Do not cover the cleaner or operate it in inadequately venti- lated rooms!

Store the cleaner where it will not be exposed to frost!

Never operate the cleaner with- out water. Even brief shortages of water result in severe dam- age to the pump seals.

Operation

CAUTION!

Unsuitable extension leads can represent a source of danger. Always unwind cord from the reels completely to prevent the power cord overheating.

Plugs and connectors of mains power leads must be at least splash water-proof.

When using an extension cord, check the minimum cross-sec- tions of the cable:

Cable length

Cross section

<16 A

 

<25 A

 

 

 

up to 20 m

ø1.5mm²

 

ø2.5mm²

 

 

 

 

20 to 50 m

ø2.5mm²

 

ø4.0mm²

 

 

 

 

Do not damage the mains pow- er lead (e.g. by driving over it, pulling or crushing it).

Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug only (do not pull or tug the power cord).

Electrical equipment

CAUTION!

Never spray electrical equip- ment with water: danger for per-

sons, risk of short-circuiting.

The cleaner may only be con- nected to a correctly installed plug socket.

Switching on the cleaner may cause voltage fluctuations. Voltage fluctuations should not occur if the impedance at the transfer point is less than 0.15: If in doubt ask your local elec- tricity supplier.

Maintenance and repair

CAUTION!

Always remove the plug from the mains plug socket before clean- ing or carrying out maintenance work on the cleaner.

Carry out only the maintenance operations described in the op- erating instructions. Use only original Gerni spare parts.

Do not make any technical mod- ifications to the high-pressure cleaner.

Ensure that the machine is reg- ularly serviced by Authorised Gerni dealers in accordance with the maintenace plan. Fail- ure to do so will invalidate the warranty.

CAUTION!

High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the cleaner. Use only high-pressure parts ap- proved by the manufacturer!

The mains power lead must not differ from the version specified by the manufacturer and may only be changed by an electri- cian.

Please contact the Gerni serv- ice department or an authorised specialist work-shop for all other maintenance or repair work!
