Environmental protection

The packaging materials are re-
cyclable. Please do not throw
packaging in the domestic waste
but pass it on for recycling.
Old units contain valuable recy-
clable materials. Batteries, oil
and similar substances may not
be released into the environment.
Therefore please dispose of old
units through suitable collection
systems.
Please do not release engine oil, fuel oil,
diesel and petrol into the environment. Pro-
tect the ground and dispose of used oil in
an environmentally-clean manner.
Do not let waste water containing mineral
oil spill into the soil, into waters or without
treatment into the discharge channel. Ob-
serve the locally valid regulations and
waste water by-laws

Safety instructions

General
To avoid danger to persons, animals and
property before the first operation of the
system, read:
- the operating manual
- the enclosed safety information for high
pressure cleaning units, 5.956-309.0
- the respective national statutes of the
legislator
For the operation of this system the follow-
ing regulations and directives are applica-
ble in the Federal Republic of Germany
(available from Carl Heymanns Verlag KG,
Luxemburger Straße 449, 50939 Cologne):
- Accident prevention provision "General
rules and regulations" BGV A1
- Safety for vehicle wash plants DIN
24446
- Order in respect of operational safety
(BetrSichV).
12
- Accident prevention regulations BGR
500 "Working with liquid spraying
units".
High pressure spraying units must be
checked every 12 months in accord-
ance with these guidelines by an expert
and the result of this check must be
1
written down.

structions
4
- that all users of the plant are informed

about the instructions and have under-
5
stood them.

The appliance must not be used if a con-
7
necting line or important parts of the appli-
7
ance, e.g. safety devices, high-pressure
hoses, spray guns, are damaged.

DANGER
Pointer to immediate danger, which leads
to severe injuries or death.
WARNING
Pointer to a possibly dangerous situation,
which can lead to severe injuries or death.
CAUTION
Pointer to a possibly dangerous situation,
which can lead to minor injuries.
ATTENTION
Pointer to a possibly dangerous situation,
which can lead to property damage.
Symbols on the machine
Risk of electric shock!
Only electricians or authorised
technicians are permitted to work
on parts of the plant.
Prior to opening the electric box,
all power to the appliance must
be shut off (pull mains plug) and
it must be protected from inad-
vertent startup.
Operation of the plant
WARNING
To avoid danger through false operation,
the plant must be operated only by per-
sons, who
- are instructed in its operational han-
dling
- have proved their capabilities in respect
of operation
- have been explicitly commissioned to
use it.
The operating manual must be made avail-
able to each user. The plant may not be op-
erated by persons under 18 years old.
Trainees over 16 years old and under su-
pervision are exceptions here.
Proper use
This high pressure module transports water
from a high pressure storage tank switched
on earlier to a subsequently switched vehi-
cle washing unit. Storage tank and washing
unit are not part of this high pressure mod-
ule. The high pressure module is perma-
nently installed in a dry, frost-free room.
The water connection must be present
there according to the details provided in
EN
the technical specifications. The water level
of the storage tank available at the installa-
tion site must be at least 1 m above the in-
stallation surface of the high pressure mod-
ule. The temperature at the installation site
should not exceed 40 °C. This high pres-
sure module is controlled by the controls of
the vehicle washing unit. This control also
monitors and controls the interplay of the
high pressure module with all the previous
and subsequent equipment. The high pres-
sure water is distributed through a fixed
network of pipes.
Quality requirements for water:
ATTENTION
Only clean water may be used as high
pressure medium. Impurities will lead to in-
creased wear and tear or formation of de-
posits.

The high pressure module is installed in a
machine room. The high pressure module
is operated using the controls of the subse-
quent vehicle washing unit. It is necessary
to be present at the high pressure module
only for maintenance and repairs jobs.
General dangers
DANGER
Risk of injury on account of emitted high
pressure water jet. Check high pressure
tubes, pipe connections and fittings for
damage every time before use. Replace
leaky components immediately and seal all
leaky connection points immediately.
Danger of explosion
DANGER
Risk of explosion! The high pressure mod-
ule must not be operated in the near to
rooms that are exposed to danger of explo-
sion. Excepted from this are only plants
that are explicitly intended and designated.
Instead of water no explosive, highly ignita-
ble or poisonous substances must be used,
for e.g.:
