CHAPTER 3 - MACHINE SAFETY AND PROTECTION
▪ Do not use the machine outdoors in the rain.
▪ If, despite all the precautions taken, the cable is damaged, do not carry out temporary
repairs. A new cable is much cheaper than repairing the damage caused by a possible
electric shock, not to mention the danger that a defective cable would pose to people and
animals.
▪ Do not carry out any maintenance while the plug is plugged into an electrical outlet.
▪ Take care not to hit the machine with water jets, as this could cause a short circuit
▪ If an extension cable is to be used for the electrical cable, ensure that the connection
between the supplied cable and the extension cable is made in a stable manner and in
accordance with current safety regulations.
▪ The plug and socket must be watertight.
▪ Do not use the electrical plug to switch the machine on or off; only use the appropriate
switches.
▪ Keep the machine out of the reach of children and/or unauthorised persons and make sure
that nobody can touch it when it is connected to the mains.
▪ It is strictly forbidden for the operator to carry out any operation with the machine if he is
barefoot.
▪ Do not operate the machine with defective components.
▪ Do not use the machine in the presence of people on the working line.
▪ Do not direct the water jet at electrical sources.
3.1 SAFETY RULES FOR ELECTRICAL RISK
▪ Do not put your hands in front of the wand; high-pressure nozzles can be extremely
dangerous when used improperly.
▪ If the machine is used in petrol and filling stations or other dangerous places, the relevant
safety regulations must be observed.
▪ Do not touch the engine, chimney, boiler or other parts when the machine is switched on or
immediately after it is switched off.
▪ Diesel refuelling must only be carried out when the machine is switched off.
▪ Do not use fuels other than those specified by the manufacturer.
▪ When the work is completed, after stopping the machine, release the residual pressure in
the delivery pipe and in the pump by operating the gun lever.
▪ It is strictly forbidden to carry out any work on the machine unless you are equipped with
personal protective equipment (protective goggles, gloves, overalls, etc.) in accordance
with current regulations.
▪ During the winter and in the event of frost, it is advisable to have antifreeze sucked in or
empty the water in the internal circuits by closing the tap on the water mains and running
the machine until it is completely drained.
▪ If the machine is left idle for a long period of time, limescale build-up may form on the valve
seats and cause starting problems, so pay close attention to any abnormal noises and
consult your local technical service.
▪ Always open the fuel tank vent (fig.3a in paragraph 2.1), because if it remains closed it
could create an internal depression (with the pump continuing to suck) and consequent
deformation of the walls, with the risk of permanent deformation or breakage. In addition,
the pump could cavitate and work in an anomalous way, with dangerous overheating
