SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
The USE and MAINTENANCE manual constitutes an
essential part of the cleaner equipment and should be
kept in a safe place for future reference. If you sell the
cleaner, the manual should be handed on to the new
owner.
- Before starting the cleaner, make sure that it is
receiving water correctly. Operating the cleaner
without water could damage the seals.
- Do not disconnect the plug by pulling on the
electrical cable.
- If you are too far from the object you wish to clean,
do not move the cleaner nearer by pulling on the high
pressure hose; use the handle provided.
- In versions not equipped with TSS device, do not
operate the cleaner for more than 1-2 minutes with
the gun closed as this could damage the seals.
- Protect the cleaner from freezing during the winter.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation grilles during
operation.
- The cross-section of any extension cables used must
be proportional to their length, i.e. the longer the
extension cable, the greater the cross-section;
cables with a protection level of "IPX5" must be used.
- Position the cleaner AS NEAR POSSIBLE to the
water supply.
- The packaging is easily recyclable, and must be
disposed of in compliance with the regulations in
force in the country of installation.
- Use the cleaner only with accessories and
replacement parts authorized by the manufacturer.
The use of original accessories and replacement
parts will ensure safe, trouble-free operation.
- The cleaner must be used standing on a secure, stable
surface.
- Avoid unintentional firing of the trigger. Do not carry
the lance/ trigger assembly with your hand over the
trigger. Always use the trigger lock mechanism.
- Ensure that the safety lock on the trigger is used,
when you have stopped using the pressure washer to
prevent accidental operation. (Fig. 6)
