Original instruction 4
• Never detach the high pressure hose while the machine is in operation.
HOT WATER: Danger of scalding! Never dismount high-pressure hoses at water tempera-
tures above 50°C.
• High temperature on the lance and hose after hot water use.
150°C
IMPORTANT: Prior to dismounting of the high-pressure hose, the machine should be
cooled down. After cooling down, stop the machine and close the shut-off cock. Then activate
the trigger of the spray handle to relieve the high-pressure hose of pressure.
• Beware of hot water and steam discharge up to 150°C when operating in steam stage.
• After use of the hot water/steam function the high-pressure cleaner must be flushed with cold
water for about 1 min. High temperature on the lance and hose after hot water use.
3 Before starting the cleaner DO READ INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE BEFORE USE!
Before use, check that the machine is safe and in proper condition and in upright posi-
tion on a plain and stable ground to ensure stability. Regularly check whether the power cord is
damaged or shows signs of ageing.
WARNING! Do not use the machine if a supply cord or important parts of the ma-
chine are damaged, e.g. safety devices, high pressure hoses , spray handle or lance
• Check the rated voltage of the machine before connecting it to the mains power supply. En-
sure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains
power supply.
• For safety reasons, hoses, spray lances and other accessories should always be thawed prior
to use. MIN: 2°C/ 36°F.
NOTE: If your 3-phase cleaner was supplied without a plug, have it fitted with a suitable
3-phase plug with earth conductor.
WARNING! Before use of water jet, assure that the high pressure hose
with the spray handle is safely connected by an audible click to the lance
• High-pressure water jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must not be directed at per-
sons, animals, live electrical equipment or the cleaner itself
• Do not direct the jet towards yourself or towards other persons in order to clean clothes or
footwear
• Do not use the cleaner when other people without appropriate protective clothing are in the
working area. Wear appropriate protective clothing, safety gloves, boots, hearing aids and hel-
mets with visor and eye protection
• When operating the spray handle, kickback forces are produced at the spraying device and
when the spray lance is held at an angle, a torque is also created. The spray handle and spray
lance must therefore be held firmly with both hands
• 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
• During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be
hazardous to health. The employer shall perform a risk assessment in order to specify the nec-
essary protective measures regarding aerosols, depending on the surface to be cleaned and its
environment. Respiratory masks of class FFP 2, an equivalent or higher are suitable for the
protection against hydrous aerosols.
