- WARNING : Water that has flown through backflow preventers is considered to be non-
potable.
- WARNING : The machine shall be disconnected from its power source during cleaning or
maintenance and when replacing parts for mains operated machines by removing the plug from
the socket-outlet;
- WARNING : High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for safety of the appliance.
Use only hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
- Do not use the appliance if a supply cord or important parts of the appliance are damaged, e.g.
safety devices, high pressure hoses, trigger gun.
- WARNING : If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction.
- WARNING : Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
_
This high pressure washer must not be used at temperatures below 0°C.
WARNING!
- Cord on drums should always be completely unwinded to prevent the cord from overheating. -
If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction.
- Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
- comply with the below-mentioned requirements for length and cord dimensions.
1.0 mm² max. 12.5 m
1.5 mm² max. 20 m
2.5 mm² max. 30 m
Power cord connections should be kept dry and off the ground.
_
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
All keep the machine on a stable and flat surface during operation, handling, transportation and
storage. Sudden overturn of machine will cause injury to body.
In the event of accident or breakdown, switch off the machine immediately. (e.g. contact with
detergent: rinse with an abundance of clean water)
Attention!
Through poor conditions of the electrical MAINS, shortly voltage drops can appear when
starting the EQUIPMENT. This can influence other equipment (eg. Blinking of a lamp). If the
MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax < 0.335 OHM, such disturbances are not expected. (In case of
need, you may contact your local supply authority for further information.)
WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are unsure if an outlet is
properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance to fit an outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Mains power connection
The following should be observed when connecting the high pressure
washer to the electric installation:
_ The electric installation shall be made by a certified electrician and comply with IEC-364.
_ It is recommended that the electric supply to this appliance should include either a
residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for
30 ms.
IMPORTANT! Only use water without any impurities.
If there is a risk of running sands in the inlet water (i.e. from your own well), an additional
filter should be mounted.
Safety devices
_
The unloader valve can reduce pressure if it exceeds pre-set values. The spray gun features
a locking device. When the pawl is activated, the spray gun cannot be operated.
Thermal sensor:
A thermal sensor protects the motor against overloading. The machine will restart after a few
minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled.
