1 Important safety instructions

Transport Before starting the cleaner

For your own safety

The high-pressure cleaner may only be used by persons in- structed in its use and who have been expressly authorised to do so.

Although extremely easy to op- erate, children should not be al- lowed to use the cleaner.

General

Use of the high-pressure cleaner 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- ognised regulations for safety and proper use.

Do not use any unsafe work techniques.

Transport of the high-pressure cleaner is easy on its large wheels.

For safe transport in and on ve- hicles we recommend to prevent the equipment from sliding and tilting by fixing it with belts.

Transport (when tilted):

–do not tilt the machine on the front with the water connec- tions.

–remove suction hose from the detergent tank and close tank filler with the cap pro- vided with the machine.

–before putting the cleaner into operation: pay attention to allow the pump oil to run back into the pump housing. Check oil level, top up if nec- essary.

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

If your 3-phase cleaner was supplied without a plug, have it fitted with a suitable 3-phase plug with earth conductor, by an electrician.

Before use, check that the high- pressure cleaner is safe and in proper condition.

Regularly check whether the power cord is damaged or shows signs of ageing.

Use the high-pressure cleaner only when the mains power lead is in a safe condition. (risk of electric shock if damaged!).

Check the rated voltage of the high-pressure cleaner before connecting it to the mains power supply. Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corre- sponds to the voltage of the lo- cal mains power supply.

We strongly recommend that the power supply to the high pres- sure cleaner be connected via a residual current circuit breaker.
