3. Accident prevention
3.1. The instructions furnished in this manual don’t replace in any way the norms related to the safety,
to the installation and the use, to the technical data or the norms in force in the nation of installation
or use or the norms dictated of the common sense.
3.2. Technicians or maintenance technicians are obliged to notify any possible defects or deteriorations
that are able, in any way, to compromise the original safety of the plant.
3.3. The serial high pressure cleaner is not equipped for working in environments characterized by
particular conditions of inflammability or explosiveness; flameproof equipment is supplied only
and exclusively on specific request. It is forbidden to install the high pressure cleaner in
environments where inflammable materials are present or with particles it suspended in the air:
acids, inks, varnishes, resins, solvents, plastic subjects, etc.; follow the norms imposed by the
fire department.
3.4. During the filling of the fuel tank, the high pressure cleaner must be disconnected from the electric
net. At the same time it is absolutely forbidden to smoke or approaching the machine with free
flames during the filling of the fuel tank.
3.5. The hot water high pressure cleaners are projected for an economic combustion, clean and
respectful towards the environment and deprived of the residual exhaust gases. Despite this,
inhaling high quantity or percentages of gases, such CO, is harmful and lethal particularly.
3.6. If the high pressure cleaner is installed or used in places and closed (like garages or establishments)
environments, it is necessary to predispose a device of evacuation of the gases together with a
recycling of the air supply and for the restoration of the air in the place or in the closed environment.
3.7. Never obstruct the terminal of the chimney; with objects, lance or gun, in proximity of the outlet
of the smokes. It’s also considered highly dangerous, both for the smokes and also for the elevated
temperatures reached. To avoid possible burns, inform technicians and operators about it.
3.8. The high pressure cleaner and its plant as the place and the environment, are forcedly exposed
to the water and the damp that injure the natural conditions of isolation of the plant. Don’t use
therefore unsafe electric cables, thorns or plugs, and sockets; to check the integrity and the isolation
of the electric cable, together with the equipment of the operators. Don’t absolutely touch the
thorn or the plugs with wet hands or feet. To avoid accidental switching on, turn the interrupter
on OFF before inserting or disconnecting the power supply. Don’t pull the high pressure cleaner
using the electrical or to extract its thorn from the socket.
3.9. Use with extreme care the chemical detergents not to deteriorate the environment (degradability
90%), parts or components of the machine, according to the updating of the legislative decree.
Besides, always check the degradability and the aggressiveness of the used detergents. Never
use acids, inks, solvents, liquid oily, varnishes, resins, etc…
3.10. The “cold” starting of the high pressure cleaner can cause some serious damages to the pump
and the circuits; the standstill prolonged at temperatures under 0°C could cause breakups and
damages to the pump and the pipes; therefore the emptying of the machine is advisable.
3.11. Always protect the high pressure cleaner from the atmospheric agents, from the cold and from
the frost.
3.12. Never direct the jet of water towards people (not even to clean their clothes or their shoes) or
animals, nor the machine itself or any objects under electrical tension.
3.13. Lance and gun, although equipped with proper hilts, they have a modest counterblow to the
departure of the jet; to maintain them with strength with both the hands. Do never touch the jet
of water during the operation of the idropulitrice.
3.14. If some defects, damages or deteriorations on the machine are found, disconnect it immediately,
and call an assistance authorized center assistance authorized or to the supplier.
3.15. Don’t leave never, without overseeing, the high pressure cleaner working in presence of children.
