1.3 Transporting the machine
CAUTION – Incorrect lifting techniques
may result in personal injury, where
applicable do not lift large and heavy
machines without assistance. We advise that the
manual handling regulations are followed.
Please refer to the technical table for details on
weight of machine.
When transporting the machine ensure that all
components, tanks and removable parts are
securely fastened, and that the supply cord and
plug are not trailing. Detach hose and wand from
machine where applicable.
Do not lift or transport the machine whilst
containing liquid as this will add considerably to
the weight.
Take extreme care when moving the machine up
or down steps or stairs.
1.4 Electrical connection
Before connecting the machine to the power
supply,
check that your supply voltage
corresponds with that marked on the rating label.
The power supply cord plus any extension leads
should not exceed 30m in total, otherwise you
may experience problems starting up the
machine. The cross-section of any extension
cable wiring must be at least 2,5 mm
².
Should an extension cord be used, ensure cord
rating is adequate for the equipment. Do not use
extension cord in coiled condition as this could
result in overheating of the cord.
UK only
The supply cord for 230v models is fitted with a
plug containing a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse
require replacement it must only be replaced by a
13 amp fuse conforming to BS1362, and the fuse
cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost the
plug must not be used until the correct
replacement cover is fitted.
IMPORTANT - If the supply cord is damaged, it
must only be replaced by a special cord available
from the manufacturer or an authorised service
agent.
