Safety notes
Dangerous situations during operation can be avoided by safety-conscious and
proactive behaviour of the personnel.
For operation, the following principles apply:
•
Monitor the cleaner during the operation.
•
Safety devices must not be changed, removed or taken out of service. Check
all safety devices at regular intervals.
•
All guards and hoods must be fitted as intended.
•
The place of installation of the cleaner must be adequately ventilated at all
times.
•
Structural alterations of the cleaner are not permitted. Immediately report any
changes on the cleaner to the person responsible.
•
Always keep danger zones clear. Do not leave any objects in the danger
zone. Only allow persons to enter the danger zone when the machine is de-
energized.
•
Regularly check that all emergency stop devices are working correctly.

Operating Conditions
The cleaner is driven by the cleaning liquid flowing through it at a suitable
pressure and flow rate. It is essential that the cleaner is supplied with cleaning
liquid at the correct pressure and flow rate for effective operation. The
requirements are specified in the tables below.
The specified pressure is the pressure required at the cleaning head and
not at the pump.
