Safety

  

 

The following chapter is a supplement. Please observe the already existing local accident 
prevention regulations and laws of your country. 

 

 

Basic principles: 

  Use the MFU only as intended and in perfect technical condition. Observe operating 

instructions. 

 

The MFU may only be operated by trained personnel.

 

  Check the operational safety periodically and ensure it by maintenance. Repair any 

defects or faults before use.  

  If any defect or malfunction occurs during operation, stop the MFU immediately and 

relieve the whole system of pressure. 

Restore the technically perfect condition before 

restart

. 

  Be extremely cautious, when fighting fire near electrical installations. Set the jet gun 

into spray mode and keep as much distance as possible to live parts.  

  Protect the unattended MFU against unauthorized use by removing the ignition key. 

 

 

2.1 

Acting in an emergency 

If the running MFU causes a hazardous situation, immediately press the button 
“EMERGENCY STOP” at the control panel. This will shut down the engine and all electrical 
components. Actuate the jet gun after standstill to relieve any residual pressure. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DANGER !

 

See a detailed description of the emergency-stop function at 
page 

19

, section 

7.5

 

 

ATTENTION

 

Never unlock the EMERGENCY 
STOP button, before the cause of 
danger is eliminated!
