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.
