2.2safEty dEvIcEs
This water cleaner is provided with the following safety devices:
a) Amperometric protector
It is a device that is built in the switch (2) that stops the water cleaner operation in case of current over-
absorption, thus making the switch itself trigger to position“0”.
When it triggers, it is necessary to proceed as follows:
- remove the plug from the power socket;
- press the lever (24) of the water gun, in order to evacuate the possible rest pressure;
- wait 10÷15minutes, so that the water cleaner cools down;
- check the prescriptions described in paragraph “Checks and Connection to the Mains Electricity
Supply”, with special reference to the check of the possibly used extension;
- reconnect the plug into the power socket and repeat the starting procedure described in paragraph
“OPERATION”.
b) Safety valve
It is a maximum pressure valve that is duly calibrated by the Producer and that discharges the pressure
in excess, in case of failure to the pressure and/or temperature adjusting system.
WARNING
• If this safety device cuts in repeatedly, do not use the water cleaner until it has been checked by a Skilled
Technician.
c) Pressure limiting/adjusting valve
It is a valve that is duly calibrated by the Producer and that avoids the generation of pressures that are
higher than the maximum allowed ones, thus making the uid in excess ow back to the pump suction.
d) Temperature limiting/adjusting thermostat
It is a device that avoids to overcome the maximum temperature.
e) Water missing protection
It is a device that prevents the burner from operating in case of water absence.
f) Locking device of the water gun lever
It is a safety stop (25) that allows to block the lever (24) of the water gun (16) in closing position, thus
preventing accidental operations (see picture 1, position S).
