hazardous alteration of operating
performance.
Do not leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
Make sure that cars do not drive over
the high pressure hose.
SAFETY “DO’S”
Always switch off the mains
disconnecting switch when leaving the
machine unattended.
High pressure hoses, fittings and
couplings are important for the safety
of the machine. Use only hoses, fittings
and couplings recommended by the
manufacturer.
To ensure machine safety, use
only original spare parts from the
manufacturer or approved by the
manufacturer.
Always disconnect the electricity
supply before starting to handle, clean,
maintain, repair or install this appliance.
Maintenance and/or repair of electrical
components must be carried out by an
Authorised Service Centre.
All electrical conductors must be
protected against the water jet. The
mains plug and the coupling between
the extension cable must be water tight
and never lay in the water.
The appliance must only be connected
to an adequate electrical power supply
which has been installed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with IEC
60364-1. It is recommended that the
electric supply to this machine should
include either a residual current device
that will interrupt the supply if the
leakage current to earth exceeds 30mA
for 30ms or a device that will prove the
earth circuit.
Always wear appropriate personal
protective equipment including safety
boots, gloves, hearing protection while
operating this equipment.
Before pressing the trigger, grip the gun
firmly to counteract the recoil.
Ensure that the pressure washer is
connected to the mains water supply in
accordance with local regulations.
After use, turn off the mains switch
and water supply. Then squeeze the
trigger to depressurise the unit before
disconnecting the hose or gun. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury
or machine damage due to discharge of
high pressure water.
Before every use check that the power
cord, plug and important parts such as
the high pressure hose, gun and safety
devices are not damaged.
Only use detergents which will not
corrode the coating materials of the
high pressure hose/electrical cable
which have been recommended by
the manufacturer. The use of other
detergents or chemicals may adversely
affect the safety of the machine.
Ensure that all people or animals keep a
minimum distance of 15m away.
Observe a distance of at least 30cm
when using the jet to clean painted
surfaces, to avoid damaging paintwork.
This equipment must be used according
to local water supply regulations: see
the section, Installation – Water
supply Connection.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
If the power supply cord becomes
damaged in any way, it should be replaced
by a suitably qualified person. Contact an
authorised Service Centre.
If the plug becomes damaged in any
way, it should be replaced by a suitably
qualified person. A replacement plug
should be wired according to the following
instructions.
