FIELD OF APPLICATION
The head is designed to be used with water up to 90 °C, with addition of mild detergents or disinfectants. In case of
use with special or even flammable liquids (different viscosity, chemical harshness or other), please contact our
technical department. The head shall be used within pressure, temperature and RPM speed limits reported in the
official documents, such as declaration of conformity, certificate of assembly and technical data reported on the
instruction manual.
The cleaning liquid shall have an ignition temperature of minimum 50 K over the maximum exterior temperature of
the appliance’s surface where the cleaning liquid is utilized.
The ambient temperature when the appliance is working shall range between 0 ÷ +90 °C. For a different use, please
contact the manufacturer for a customized study.
Only when it’s used according to the prescriptions included in this manual and in correctly tackling residual risks
raising from its use, does this head assure a level of protection high enough as to not generate potential sources of
priming, when installed in a potentially explosive environment.
The appliance in question grants that potential sources of priming are not activated in normal functioning and even in
case of foreseeable and rare failure or malfunction.
Breakage or failure to the appliance can happen. In that case, it is necessary to check the causes of failure. When
these are traced down to the appliance, they must be removed.
Note 1: the appliance reaches a maximum surface temperature according to the temperature of the fluid pumped in.
The temperature class must take into account the safety factor 0,8 aimed for appliances of class 1, see table below.
