cleaning or carrying out mainte-
nance work on the cleaner.
Carry out only the maintenance
operations described in the op-
erating instructions. Use only
original Gerni spare parts.
Do not make any technical mod-
ifications to the high-pressure
cleaner.
Ensure that the machine is reg-
ularly serviced by Authorised
Gerni dealers in accordance
with the maintenace plan. Fail-
ure to do so will invalidate the
warranty.
CAUTION!
High-pressure hoses, fittings
and couplings are important for
the safety of the cleaner. Use
only high-pressure parts ap-
proved by the manufacturer!
The mains power lead must not
differ from the version specified
by the manufacturer and may
only be changed by an electri-
cian.
Please contact the Gerni service
department or an authorised
specialist work-shop for all other
maintenance or repair work!
Testing
The cleaner conforms to the
German „Guidelines for Liq-
uid Spray Jet Devices“. The
high-pressure cleaner must be
subjected to a safety examina-
tion in accordance with the „Ac-
cident Prevention Regulations
for Working with Liquid Spray
Jet Devices (BGV D15)“ as re-
quired, but at least every 12
months, by an authorised in-
spector.
After all repairs or modifica-
tions to electrical equipment,
the protective conductor resist-
ance, the insulation resistance
and the leakage current must
be measured. Furthermore, a
visual inspection of the mains
power lead, a voltage and cur-
rent measurement and a func-
tion test must be carried out.
Our after-sales service techni-
cians are at your disposal as au-
thorised inspectors.
The complete „Accident Preven-
tion Regulations for Working
with Liquid Spray Jet Devices“
are available from the Carl Hey-
manns Verlag KG, Luxemburger
Strasse 449, 50939 Cologne or
from the appropriate associa-
tion of employers’ liability insur-
ances.
The pressure-bearing parts of
this high-pressure cleaner have
been manufactured in accord-
ance with § 9 of the German
Pressure Vessels Ordinance
and successfully subjected to a
pressure test.
Safety devices
Unacceptably high pressure is
fed back without residual pres-
sure via a bypass line into the
intake line of the pump when the
safety device is tripped.
If the conveying capacity falls
below a fixed value, the built-
in flow monitor automatically
switches off the oil burner. The
oil burner is set to continuous
ignition. As an additional protec-
tion mechanism, a thermo-sen-
sor is integrated in the chimney
of the heat exchanger. As such,
the appliance cannot overheat.
The safety devices are factory
set and leaded, and must not be
adjusted.
Warning
• Inhalation of aerosols can
be hazardous to health.
•
Where applicable use a de-
vice in order to avoid or re-
duce aerosols production,
e.g., a shield covering the
nozzle.
•
For protection against aero-
sols use a respiratory mask
of class FFP 2 or higher.
