SAFETy
The
STELLA
high pressure washer is well-advanced from a technical point of view and for a proper installation, good operation,
proper use and maintenance, it needs trained, responsible staff who has to comply with the following rules of safety and conduct.
•
Do NOT
run the pump without water. Do not run the pump with liquids with sand or other solid particles that compromise the
efficient running of the valves, pistons and seals.
•
It is
RECOMMENDED
to install filters to the waterfeeding circuit.
•
Do NOT
expose the machine to freeze and the outside weather in general. Freezing can cause severe damages to the pump and
circuit. The prolonged downtime at temperatures below 0°C (zero Celsius degrees) can cause damages or break pump and pipes,
it is better to do a complete emptying.
•
The electrical system connected to the high pressure washer
MUST
be made in compliance with the laws in force in the country
of installation.
•
It is
RECOMMENDED
the presence of a differential circuit breaker, with a sensitivity of 30 mA above the socket or power plant.
•
Do NOT
use extension cords or loose plugs.
•
The integrity and insulation of the electric cable and equipment
MUST
be checked, because the work environment is necessarily
exposed to water and humidity conditions that preclude the natural system insulation.
•
Do
NOT
use the machine if the cable is damaged or worn; disconnect the device from the network and contact an authorized
service center.
•
You
MUST
follow the rules imposed by the Fire Department or by local entrusted bodies.
•
Do
NOT
touch the plug with wet hands or feet!
•
Avoid accidental operation. You
MUST
place the switch OFF before inserting or removing the plug from the socket.
•
Do
NOT
pull the cord to remove the plug.
•
Do
NOT
install the machine near flammable materials (expecially on environments with airborne particles: plastics, resins, acids,
inks, etc.).
•
Do
NOT
use paints, acids, solvents, oily or very dense liquids, and so on.
•
The machine
MUST
be used by a properly trained single operator
.
•
Do
NOT
leave the machine unattended, especially with children around. The pressure washer, once in power and able to work,
must be monitored just by the operator involved.
•
Do
NOT
use the machine in the presence of unauthorized personnel or persons who are not wearing suitable protective gar-
ments.
•
Although a suitable grip is provided with the lance, the water pressure at the start of the discharge from the nozzle (opening of
the trigger) produces a reactive force (recoil) which
MUST
be counterbalanced.
•
Do
NOT
aim the jet at electrical sockets, machine, people or animals. The high pressure jet can be dangerous if used inappro-
priately.
•
The machine
MUST
be used with recommended detergent by the manufacturer. The use of detergents or chemical products
different than those specified may affect the safety of the equipment. The chemical products should be used with care to avoid
damaging the machine components and the environment. Always check biodegradability and aggressiveness of the products
used
.
•
It is
RECOMMENDED
not to place the machine on ramps or sloped floor, possibly remember to lock the wheels with the appro-
priate mechanisms.
•
If the machine will be put outside good precautions
MUST
be taken in order to prevent the dangerous effect of weather conditions.
