POSEIDON PE
Original Instructions
Wear appropriate protective
clothing, hearing and eye
protectors.
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other
persons in order to clean
clothes or footwear.
During operation of the washer,
recoil forces are produced at
the spray lance and, when
the lance is held at an angle,
a torque is also created. The
lance must therefore be held
fi rmly in both hands.
Do not run belt driven units
without the belt cover.
Do not use the washer when
other people without protective
clothing are in the working area.
Check that cleaning will not
result in dangerous substances
(e.g. asbestos, oil) being
washed off the object to be
cleaned and harming the
environment.
WARNING!
This machine has been
designed for use with the
cleaning agent supplied
or recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of other
cleaning agents or chemicals
may adversely affect the safety
of the machine.
Risk of explosion – Do not spray
flammable liquids.
Do not clean delicate parts
made of rubber, fabric, etc. with
the 0° jet. Always adjust the
distance and thus the pressure
of the nozzle to the surface,
which is to be cleaned to avoid
any damage to the surface
being cleaned.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.
NOTE !
The maximum permissible
working pressure and
temperature are printed on the
high-pressure hose.
Do not continue to use the
washer if the high pressure
hose is damaged.
WARNING!
Ensure an adequate air
circulation. Do not cover
the washer or operate it in
inadequately ventilated rooms!
WARNING!
Ensure, that any exhaust
emissions are not in a vicinity of
air intakes.
Never use the machine in areas
where there is danger of fi re
or explosion. When using the
pressure washer, stand at least
1 m from buildings, etc.
Store the pressure
washer where it will not
be exposed to frost!
Never operate the pressure
washer without water. Even
brief shortages of water result
in severe damage to the pump
seals.
Switch off the cleaner after
max. 3 minutes.
Water connection
This high pressure
washer is only
allowed to be
connected with the
drinking water
mains, when an appropriate
backfl ow preventer has been
installed, Type BA according to
EN 60335-2-79. The backfl ow
preventer can be ordered under
number 106411177,106411178,
106411179,106411184. The
length of the hose between the
backfl ow preventer and the high
pressure washer must be at
least 12 metres (min diameter
3/4 inch) to absorb possible
pressure peaks. Operation by
suction (for example from a
rainwater vessel) is carried out
without backfl ow preventer.
Recommended suction set:
61256
. As soon as water has
fl own through the BA valve, this
water is not considered to be
drinking water any more.
