Safety instructions for cleaning operation for
system operators and operating personnel
During cleaning work, the personnel at the workplace must wear the
necessary protective clothing. This includes waterproof protective suits,
rubber boots, protective goggles, headgear, ear protection if necessary, etc.
No cleaning work may be carried out in the presence of persons without
sufficient protective clothing.
Before switching on, carry out a visual inspection of the system parts from
the outside for damage (high pressure hose, electrical or mechanical parts).
Systems with damaged system parts, assemblies or components must not
be put into operation.
The water jet leaving the trigger gun must not be directed at
●
persons
●
animals
●
live electrical installations (building mains connections, sockets,
electrical wiring, etc.)
●
live electrical installations, machines, devices, assemblies or components
●
system, machinery or equipment in operation.
Under the influence of the high pressure jet, parts can be separated from
the cleaning object and thrown away. Persons can be injured as a result.
Never aim the high pressure jet at fragile or loose objects.
When cleaning tyres and their valves, keep a minimum distance of 30 cm
from the high pressure nozzle. Otherwise damage may occur.
Before cleaning the High Pressure Cleaner, Hot Water, Stationary,
HSC1140-INOX Gas itself, take the system out of operation and disconnect
it from the electrical mains connection. Secure the system against
unintentional or unauthorised restarting (e.g. lock main switch, warning
sign indicating work on the system, etc.).
Never operate the system unattended.
During hot water operation, parts of the cabinet interior, water-carrying
parts (e.g. non-insulated pipes, metal parts of the trigger gun and jet pipe)
and cleaning objects become hot and can cause burns if touched. Keep
the cabinet door closed during operation. Before touching heated system
parts, water-carrying parts or cleaning objects, wait until they have cooled
down.
Do not close or block the exhaust opening of gas-fired high pressure
cleaners, do not bend over it or reach into it during operation. The
escaping exhaust gases are very hot and must not be inhaled. The exhaust
gases and system components become very hot and can lead to severe
burns.
Do not inhale the exhaust gases. Inhalation of exhaust fumes may
endanger life and limb of persons.
For high pressure cleaners operated in rooms, a safe discharge of the flue
gases must be ensured. It must also be ensured that sufficient ventilation is
available (combustion air).
Asbestos-containing and other materials containing substances hazardous
to health must not be sprayed off.
