Safety warnings
9. WARNING: To ensure machine safety, use only original
spare parts from the manufacturer or approved by the
manufacturer.
10. WARNING: Water that has flowed through backflow
preventers is considered to be non-potable.
11. WARNING: Remove the plug from the socket-outlet
and disconnected from the power source during
cleaning or maintenance and when replacing parts or
converting the machine to another function.
12. WARNING: Do not use the machine if a supply cord
or important parts of the machine are damaged, e.g.
safety devices, high pressure hoses, trigger gun.
13. WARNING: Inadequate extension cords can be
dangerous. If an extesnsion cord is used, it shall be
suitable for outdoor use, and the connection has to be
kept dry and off the ground. It is recommended that
this is accomplished by means of a cord reel which
keeps the socket at least 60 mm above the ground.
14. WARNING: Always switch off the mains disconnecting
switch when leaving the machine unattended.
15. Never use the product with inflammable or toxic liquids,
or liquids with characteristics incompatible with its
proper operation.
16. Never use the product outdoors in the rain.
17. Never lock the gun trigger in the operating position.
18. Check that the product is fitted with its rating label;
contact your dealer if it is missing. Products without
rating label must not be used, since they cannot be
identified and are potentially hazardous
19. Never tamper with or adjust the setting of the safety
valve or the safety devices.
20. Never change the original diameter of the adjustable
nozzle.

21. Never leave the product unattended when it is running.
22. Do not allow vehicles to drive over the pressure hose.
23. Do not move the product by pulling on the pressure
hose.
24. When directed towards tyres, tyre valves or other
pressurised components, the high pressure jet is
potentially dangerous. Do not apply a jet stream and
always keep the nozzle at a distance of at least 30 cm
during cleaning.
25. Protect all electrical conductors against the water jet.
26. High pressure may cause parts to rebound: wear
all the protective clothing and equipment needed to
ensure the operator’s safety.
27. Wear appropriate Personnel Protection Equipment
(PPE) while operation e.g. safety boots, safety gloves,
safety helmets with visors, hearing protection etc.
28. Be aware of kick-back: grip the gun firmly when
squeezing the trigger.
29. Comply with the regulations of the local water supply
authority. Under EN 12729 (BA) the product can be
connected directly to the mains drinking water supply
only if the supply hose is fitted with a backflow preventer
device with drainage facility.
30. Discharge residual pressure before disconnecting the
hose from the product.
31. Check before each use, and at regular intervals,
that all metal fasteners are tight and the product’s
components are in good condition; inspect for broken
or worn parts.
32. WARNING: Use only detergents compatible with
the high pressure hose cladding materials or other
cladding materials.

33. The electric supply connection shall be made by a
qualified electrician and comply with IEC 60364- 1.
It is recommended that the electric supply to this
machine should include a residual current device that
will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth
exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a device that will prove
the earth circuit.
34. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
The following information applies to professional users
only but is good practice for all users:
Vibration and noise reduction
To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emission, limit

Some cleaning tasks can be completed with water alone, but for most tasks it is
advantageous to use a detergent. A detergent ensures a quick soaking of the dirt
allowing the high pressure water to penetrate and remove dirt more effectively.
