Important Notes; Safety Precautions; Safety Instructions - Storch Power HD Krake Bedienungsanleitung

CAUTION
Stop work immediately: switch off the machine and clean the filter basket.
To empty the filter, release the 3 tension locks on the barrel and place the top section on the ground next to the barrel.
You can now pull out the supporting cage. Clean the reusable filter, flush the filter, and reassemble in reverse order. When
replacing the supporting cage, make sure the sealing ring is clean and seals properly! If the filter basket fills up after a
short time, it is a good idea to brush the surface you are cleaning first, and in case of stripping work to use a scraper to
scrape off the flaky coating first and / to use a coarser replacable filter.
To empty residual water from the barrel, you can tip the machine. Before doing so, apply the brakes on the two front
castors on the trolley to prevent the trolley rolling away.
The immersion pump is switched on and off automatically by a floater switch. There is no need to check the fill level, or
to interrupt your to empty the tank. However, you must plug the pump into the socket on the suction basket to provide
power to the pump. On initial commissioning, or after a longer period of disuse (weeks/months), a bubble of air may
form in the immersion pump preventing water flowing into the pump chamber. In this case, make sure the pump is fully
immersed in water. Plug the mains plug on your STORCH High Pressure System Krake into an earthed socket and plug
the pump on the pump into the socket on the suction basket. The pump will start running. Now press the floater switch
down with your hand (the pump will switch off); hold the floater down for a short time and then release it (the pump will
switch back on). Repeat this until the pump starts to deliver water.
CAUTION

Important notes:

- The STORCH High Pressure System Krake is designed only for wet vacuuming and not for use with dry, dusty materials.
− The maximum water temperature must not exceed 80° C.
− Before starting work, always check if the immersion pump plug is plugged into the socket on the suction basket.
− The tension locks on the barrel must be tightly closed.
− Always remove any clogging in the suction hose immediately. You will notice clogging by the fact that the motor speed
increases notably, while the vacuum performance drops. You must switch off the machine immediately. When you finish
work, always completely drain and flush the suction hose.
− Check the air filter regularly for signs of wear and tear, soiling and damage. A damage filter impacts performance and
can endanger the safety of your machine.
− Regularly check the vacuum flow interrupter to make sure that it is clean and moving freely; check for signs of damage
to the ball and seal (ball seating).
− Replace worn and damaged parts.
If you observe these important notes, you will have a reliable tool at hand. If you fail to observe these points, your war-
ranty will be voided in case of damage.

Safety instructions:

When working with the cleaning attachment never allow the pressurized nozzles or the water jet to touch your hands
or any other part of your body. When you interrupt or finish work, secure the manual lever on the high pressure shut
off valve against accidental triggering. Never point the cleaning attachment at persons; note that the residual pressure
after switching off the high pressure cleaner could be sufficient to cause injury. Never reach into the immediate vicinity
of the high pressure jet; keep a distance of at least 30 cm. If you are not using the machine (e.g. during breaks), switch
off the High Pressure System Krake and the high pressure cleaner and release the pressure on the cleaning attachment
by removing the manual valve.
CAUTION
Only clean or remove the rotating nozzle inside the cleaning attachment when you have detached the high pressure hose
from the cleaning attachment. Danger of injury!
CAUTION Heat:
When working with hot water, you must wear suitable personal protection (e.g. gloves, goggles, protective headgear for
overhead work). Never clean the machine immediately after finishing work. Remove the suction basket and allow the
machine to cool down for approx. 15 minutes. When working with hot water on scaffolding make sure that no persons are
on the lower levels of the scaffolding to prevent danger of scalding.
