Before using the
high-pressure
cleaner, be sure to
also read the en-
closed operating in-
structions and keep
them within reach at all times.
For your own safety
The appliance must
• only be used by persons,
who have been instructed
in its correct usage and ex-
plicitly commisioned with the
task of operating it.
• only be operated under su-
pervision.
• not be used by children.
• not be used by mentally or
physically disabled persons
Warning
• Ensure that any exhaust
emissions are not in the vi-
cinity of air intakes.
• This machine shall only be
used with cleaning chemicals
supplied or recommended
by Nilfi sk-ALTO. The use of
other cleaning chemicals
may adversely affect the
safety of the machine.
• Risk of explosion – Do not
use the cleaner to spray with
fl ammable liquids.
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 recog-
nized regulations for safety and
proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Do not tie the trigger handle
open.
Transport
Transport of the high-pressure
cleaner is easy on its large
wheels.
For safe transport in and on ve-
hicles we recommend preventing
the equipment from sliding and
tilting. Secure it with tie-downs
and apply the parking brake on
the castor wheel.
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
If your 3-phase cleaner was sup-
plied without a plug, have it fi tted
with a suitable 3-phase plug with
ground, by a qualifi ed 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 power cord is in
a safe condition. (risk of electric
shock using damaged cord!).
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 cor-
responds to the voltage of the
power supply.
We strongly recommend that the
power supply to the high pres-
sure cleaner be connected via a
residual current circuit breaker.
This device stops the supply of
electricity if the leakage current
to the ground exceeds 30 mA for
30 ms or it has an ground tester
circuit.
Please observe the regulations
and provisions applicable in your
area. Before putting the high-
pressure cleaner into service,
carry out a visual check of all the
