Safety warnings for brush cleaners and spray extractors
Before using this device for
the first time, read the safety
warnings and act accordingly.
Save these safety warnings for later use
or for the next owner.
- Carefully read the instruction manual
and pay particular attention to the safety
warnings before putting the device
into operation.
- Warning and caution plates mounted on
the device provide important notices alerts
for safe operation.
- In addition to the guidelines in the
instruction manual, the general safety and
accident prevention rules in force must
be observed.
- The voltage indicated on the control panel
must match the power supply voltage.
- Protection class I devices may only
be connected to properly grounded
power sources.
- When working with liquids (e.g.,
detergents), it is recommended connecting
to a socket protected by a faulty current
circuit breaker (max. 30 mA).
- Only use power cords specified by the
manufacturer; the same applies to any
replacements. See the instruction manual
for part numbers and types.
- Before using the device, always check if
the power cord and plug are undamaged.
Damaged power cords must be replaced
immediately by our Technical Services or
an authorized electrician.
- The device must only be connected to an
electrical outlet installed by an electrician,
according to the IEC 603641 standard.
- Switching on processes cause brief
voltage drops.
- In unfavorable mains conditions, other
devices may be harmed by this effect.
- If the mains impedance is lower than
0.15 Ohm, problems are unlikely to occur.
- Never touch the plug with wet hands.
- You must ensure that the power plug
and extension cord are not damaged by
running over them, crushing, pulling, or
similar problems. Protect the cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
- Check the power cord regularly for
cracks or ageing. If any damage is
detected, replace the cord before using
the device again.
- When replacing couplings on power
or extension cords, their water splash
protection and mechanical stability must
not be impaired.
- Do not clean the device with a hose or
a high-pressure water jet (risk of short-
circuits or other damage).
Electric Power Connection
- The equipment with its working devices, in
particular the power and extension cords,
must be checked for good condition and
operational safety. Immediately remove
the plug from the socket if the equipment
is not in perfect condition. In this case, the
device must not be used.
- If the device has a socket, it may
only be used to connect accessories
and special devices mentioned in the
instruction manual.
- The water level limiting device must
be cleaned periodically and checked for
possible signs of failure.
- The device is not a vacuum cleaner! Do
not vacuum more liquid than sprayed. Do
not use the device to vacuum dry dirt!
- The device is not suitable for vacuuming
dust that is harmful to health.
- Never spray or vacuum explosive
liquids or powders, flammable gases,
or undiluted acids and thinners. These
include gasoline, paint thinners, or fuel
oil, which can form explosive gases or
mixtures when mixed with the aspirated
air, as well as acetone, undiluted acids and
solvents, as these substances damage
the materials used in the device.
- Do not vacuum burning materials.
- Do not vacuum people or animals with
this device.
- The device cannot be used outdoors at
low temperatures.
- When using the device in hazardous
areas (e.g., service stations), the
corresponding safety regulations must
be observed. The device use in places
where there is a danger of explosion is
not allowed.
- Use only the detergents recommended
by the manufacturers and comply with
the detergent manufacturers’ application,
disposal, and warning instructions.
- The recommended cleaning detergents
cannot be used if not diluted. The products
meet the operational safety requirements
as they do not contain acids, alkaline
solutions, or any substances harmful to
the environment. We recommend that
detergents are stored out of children’s
reach. In case of contact with the eyes,
clean them immediately with water, and in
case of ingestion of liquid, a doctor must
be contacted immediately.
- When waste water and alkaline solution
disposal, the legal regulations in force
must be observed.
- This device is suitable only for the floors
listed in this instruction manual.
- Protect the device from frost.
Application
- This device must only be handled by
persons who have been specifically
trained to do so, or who prove that they are
capable of doing it, and who are expressly
authorized to use it.
- This device is not suitable for use by
people (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities
and by people with a lack of experience
and/or knowledge, unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for
safety or have received instructions on
how to handle it.
- Children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the device.
- Attention! Switch off the device
immediately if foam forms or if liquid leaks
are found!
- Do not open the cover while the engine
is running.
- Do not exceed the tilting angle indicated
in the instruction manual when you are on
tilted surfaces both to the side and in the
direction of travel.
- During transport, the device motor
must be immobilized and the device,
securely fastened.
