By improper use, we mean using the machine for uses which it was not  specifically designed for, 
such as: 

 

Washing of objects or vehicles which have come into contact with inflammable or noxious 
dust, gas or liquids, or substances which can cause dangerous reactions when in contact 
with water. 

 

Use of the machine in places where there is a danger of explosions, or a significant risk of 
fire. 

 

Use of the machine for the cleaning of animals, of any size. 

 

Use of the machine by anyone under the age of 16 years.  

 

Use of the machine in the rain or during thunderstorms. 

 

Use of the machine for the washing of any equipment supplied by an electric current. 

 

Use of the machine by anyone unauthorised personnel, or anyone untrained to do so. 

 

 

ERRONEOUS USE 

By erroneous use, we mean the use of our machine without respect for the guidelines contained in 
the instruction and maintenance manual. Lack of respect for these guidelines can represent a risk 
of injury to both the operator and those persons nearby as well as a risk of serious damage to the 
machine itself. 

Erroneous  use,  therefore,  can  constitute:  unsecured  connections  (including  those  of  accessories 
supplied as optional extras), not using original spare parts, repairs undertaken by unauthorised or 
unqualified personnel, use of the machine for purposes it was not designed for (see improper use), 
lack of proper maintenance and the high pressure tube to drag or haul the machine around. 

 

 

PRECAUTIONS 

Before activating the high pressure cleaner, make certain that the water supply is correct (min. 1 
Bar 

 Max 8 Bar); dry use can 

provoke serious damage to the machine’s waterproofing systems.

 

To safeguard the security of the operator and of the machine, avoid making modifications to the 
machine without the written consent of the manufacturer. 

If  you  notice  any  damage  to  the  machine,  refrain  from  any  and  all  work  with  the  machine,  and 
immediately inform the re-seller or an authorised technician. 

During use, avoid covering the machine: if you consider it necessary to protect the machine, do it 
in such a way as to allow air to circulate freely in order to cool the engine. 

In  the event  of  a  long  pause  /  break  during  work  /  using  the  machine  (more  than  15  minutes), 
turn off the machine and release the residual pressure. 

The  maintenance  of  this  machine  requires  the  use  of  a  qualified  person  who,  as  well  as  having 
knowledge of this instruction manual, should be equally familiar with general safety guidelines as 
well as those measures specific to this machine. 

For matters of repair, maintenance and tuning, we always recommend that you refer to a re-seller 
or authorised technician.
