Safety
17. The best insurance against an accident is precau-
tion and knowledge of the machine.
WARNING: Be extremely careful
when using a ladder, scaffolding
or any other relatively unstable
location. The cleaning area should
have adequate slopes and
drainage to reduce the possibility
of a fall due to slippery surfaces.
AVERTISSEMENT: Faire preuve
d'une extrême prudence au
moment d'utiliser une échelle, des échafaudages
ou toute autre surface relativement instable. La
zone de nettoyage doit avoir une pente et un
drainage adéquats pour réduire la possibilité d'une
chute due à une surface glissante.
18. Do not overreach or stand on unstable support.
Keep good footing and balance at all times.
19. Do not operate this machine when fatigued or
under the influence of alcohol, prescription medica-
tions, or drugs.
20. Follow the maintenance instructions specified in
the manual.
21. Do not replace LP tank while machine is running.
Serious injury could result.
22. The LP models are designed to run on vapor
propane fuel. Do not use liquid fuel. Have a
qualified serviceman install and service your equip-
ment.
23. Never expose a spark or flame where there may be
unburned gas present.
WARNING: Install this machine about 2 feet from
wall to provide adequate ventilation and servicing
space. This equipment incorporates parts such as
snap switches or similar parts that tend to produce
arcs or sparks. Therefore, when located in a
garage, it should be in a room or enclosure
provided for the purpose or should be installed 18"
(46cm) or more above the floor.
AVERTISSEMENT: Installer la machine environ .61
mètres (2 pieds) du mur pour fournir une
ventilation et un espace d'entretien adéquats. Cet
équipement comprend des pièces comme des
interrupteurs à rupture brusque ou des pièces
semblables qui ont tendance à produire des arcs
ou des étincelles. Par conséquent, lorsque
l'appareil se trouve dans un garage, il devrait se
trouver dans une pièce ou une enceinte prévue à
cet effet ou devrait être installé à 46 cm (18 po) ou
plus du sol.
24. When making repairs disconnect from electrical
source and shut off gas valve.
25. Install this machine on non combustible flooring.
26. Do not allow acids, caustic or abrasive fluids to
pass through the pump.
27. Never run pump dry or leave spray gun closed
longer than 3 minutes.
28. Exhaust gases should not be vented into a wall, a
ceiling or a concealed space of a building. A draft
diverter must be installed to prevent down draft and
to allow cooling of exhaust temperatures. Exhaust
gases that exceed 470°F (243°C) are not suitable
for connection to Type B gas vents. Do not install
this machine on a combustible floor.
29.
Before disconnecting discharge hose from water
outlet, turn burner off and open spray gun to
allow water to cool below 100° before stopping
the machine. Then open the spray gun to relieve
pressure. Failure to properly cool down or
maintain the heating coil may result in a steam
explosion.
