IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using this machine, basic precaution must always be followed, including the following:

Using Machine -5˚ to +50˚ inside or outside

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or injury

• Keep the unit upright at all times when operating and keep the lance held in an upright position always. Do

not put the lance down until 3 minutes after use or when it has cooled down.

• The rechargeable battery has been designed to be fully charged BEFORE each use.

• Only use manufacturer approved solution and fuel for the safe operation of the machine. Using other

consumable items in the machine invalidates the warranty and will lead to damage of the internal parts of the

machine and may pose a risk to the operator.

• Do not use the Midi machine unless you have read and understood the operating instructions manual.

• In the event of a breakdown contact the manufacturer or authorised distributor

• Never disconnect the lance or tamper with the lance especially when switched on.

• Please read the safety labels on the gas canister and detergent.

• Always wear appropriate PPE and beware of hot areas.

• Always dispose of equipment responsibly.

• Always dispose of lithium ion battery’s by approved disposable methods.

• Lance not to be rested on any on any surface when in use. Allow a distance of 24 inches or 60cms from

contact with the exhaust. Always hold the lance in an upright position when using, and always switch off

when not in use.

• Only use recommended detergents, gas and consumables. Only purchase through the manufacturer or

ofﬁcial distributor.

• Misuse or use of other detergents may adversely effect the safety of the machine. This will also invalidate the

warranty cover.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

(and keep with the machine at all times)

SAFETY OPERATION

The following symbols are used throughout this guide as indicated in their descriptions:

HAZARD INTENSITY LEVEL

There are three levels of hazard intensity identiﬁed by signal words

WARNING and CAUTION and FO R SAFE TY.

The level of hazard intensity is determined by the following deﬁnitions:

WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor personal injury or product or

property damage.

FOR SAFETY: To Identify actions which must be followed for safe operation of equipment. Report machine

damage or faulty operation immediately. Do not use the machine if it is not in proper operating condition.

Following is information that signals some potentially dangerous conditions to the operator or the equipment.

Read this information carefully. Know when these conditions can exist. Locate all safety devices on the machine.

Please take the necessary steps to train the machine operating personnel.

• FOR SAFETY - DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE:

• Unless Trained and Authorized.

• Unless Operation Guide is Read and understood.

• In Flammable or Explosive areas.

• In areas with possible falling objects

• When in an area where there is a possibility of an electrical storm.

WHEN SERVICING MACHINE:

Avoid moving parts. Do not wear loose clothing; jackets, shirts, or sleeves when working on the machine.

Use manufacturer approved replacement parts.

WARNING:

CAUTION:

WARNING HOT AREA:

Do not tamper with the lance at any time,

refer to manufacturer.

When red label is showing black (hot) the

exhaust is HOT ( please note it will take

approximately 3 minutes to heat up the

boiler and the label to change to black)

When the black ( HOT) disappears and

turns to red the boiler is now cold ( please

note the time for this will depend on the

surrounding environment)

Charging the machine

Plug the charger into the charging port on the

machine.

It will take approximately 4 hours for the battery to

fully charge.

A fully charged battery will last for 8 hours. Charger

will show a red light while charging and a green light

when fully charged.

If charger displays anything other that the listed

colours, contact ERS.

Cleaning Gum

Ensure the battery has been charged and

disconnected from the charger (ensure this is done on

a even surface)

Place on a even surface and unzip the backpack

and undo the velcro which holds the pipe in place.

Unsrew the lid on the detergent bottle and insert the

bottle into the the large pocket.

Screw the cap onto the bottle (which is attached to

the unit by a tube) and make sure the tube is pushed

as far down the bottle as possible.

Srew the LPG gas bottles onto the gas valve manifold

and tighten hand tight and place into the 2 circle

pockets.

Secure the pipe using the velcro to the backpack Turn

the gas valves on by turning clockwise ( please note

the gas is now on)

Screw in the appropiate brush on to the end of the

nozzle on the lance.

Zip the rucksack back up.

Operator to place rucksack on thier back and adjust

straps accordingly (please see page 8 )

WARNING

Always remove the brush when its cold. Switch

off the machine and hold in a upright postion

for at least 3 minutes. Always remove the brush

by wearing gloves.

OPERATION OPERATION

Connect hand-held unit

Connect cable to base making sure that the pins line

up, then screw to lock in position. Do not start the

machine until strapped on to the operators back.

Operator to place on thier back and adjust straps

accordingly ( please see page 8 ) Do not start the

machine until strapped on the operators back

Important information

ALWAYS REMOVE THE HANDHELD CONTROLLER

WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN USE

Using the hand held remote

to commence operation

• To commence operation make sure that the

ﬂuid controller is set to 0.

• Turn the on/off button to number 1 setting

which turns on the battery, which starts the

pump, the fan and the solenoid.

• After 5 seconds press the red button which

ignites the burner in the lance. You will hear this

ignite.

• Turn the ﬂuid controll dial to setting 10 until you

see detergent appear from the lance brush.

• Then turn the ﬂuid control dial to setting 0 for 1

minute while the boiler heats up.

• Next turn the ﬂuid contoll dial to the required

setting ( for gum removal set between 2-3 a

small adjustment may be required depending

on the surface or for a different use increase

accordingly)

• Note: The ﬂuid indicator will light up when the

solution is empty in the backpack.

Adjusting the Machine

Unclip waist and chest straps. Loosen shoulder straps

and hip belt.

Put on unit by placing arms through shoulder straps

and secure and tighten the hip belt.

NOTE: For the most comfort, adjust unit so that the

hip belt covers the front hipbones and the bowed-

out portion of the back padding rests on the small

of the back.

Tighten the shoulder straps to the point where

the unit’s weight just starts to pull down on the

shoulders. Ideally most of the unit’s weight will

remain on the waist.

Adjust the chest strap position to be high on the

chest and tighten till comfortable.

Cleaning Gum

Once the machine has heated up, place the brush on

the piece of ﬂattened gum and wait 5-10 seconds.

Agitate the ﬂattened gum with the brush using

circular motions until you see gum disintegrate. Do

not scrub or apply pressure. The weight of the lance

with agitation is all that is required.

Remove the brush from the gum and use a broom to

sweep across the area. Determine if all the gum has

been removed or if more cleaning is required.

If further cleaning is required, repeat the cleaning

steps until gum is completely removed.

NOTE: Always complete a test patch on surfaces to

make sure no damage occurs to the ﬂooring

or surface.

OPERATION CONSUMABLES

End of Use

Place the machine on a level even surface

Turn the switch to “OFF”- 0

Unzip the backpack and turn the gas valves off by

turning clockwise and unscrew from the manifold,

unscrew the detergent bottle and remove from the

unit.

To drain the unit, on the handheld controller turn

“on” 1, turn the ﬂuid control dial to 10 until there

is no ﬂuid coming from the nozzle at the end of

the lance. BEFORE YOU DO THIS ENSURE THE

DETERGENT WAS ORIGINALLY REMOVED AND THAT

THE FLUID IS NOT EFFECTING ANY SURFACE.

Turn the power “off” 0 and un plug the handheld

controller

ENSURE THE HANDHELD CONTROLLER IS ALWAYS

UN PLUGGED WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE.

Always store the ERS MIDI in a well venilated dry area.
