SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS

01WARNING: This appliance is for outdoor use only.

02WARNING: Always disconnect the electricity and water supplies on completion of every job.

03WARNING: 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.

04WARNING: This appliance has been designed for use with the detergent provided or the detergent specified by the manufacturer, such as a neutral shampoo based on biodegradable anionic surface active detergents. The use of other detergents or chemicals may put the appliance’s safety at risk.

05a WARNING: Do not use the machine within range of persons unless they wear protective clothing.
05b – Do not allow other people or animals within a range of 5m when operating the machine.
05c – Always wear suitable protective clothing in order to protect yourself against ricocheting parts.
05d – Do not touch the plug and the appliance with wet hands or when barefoot.
05e – Wear safety goggles and non-slip rubber footwear.

06WARNING: Do not direct the nozzle toward mechanical parts containing lubricant grease, as the grease will dissolve and spread over the surrounding ground. Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned from a minimum distance of 30 cm, otherwise the vehicle tyre/tyre valve could be damaged by the high- pressure jet. The first indication of this is a discoloration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/tyre valves can be deadly dangerous.

07WARNING : High pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons, animal, live electrical equipment or the machine itself.
08WARNING: High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the machine. Use only hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

(it is extremely important to protect these components against damage by avoiding their improper use and protecting them against bending, knocks and scratches).
09WARNING: Appliances not equipped with T.S. – Total Stop : must not be left in operation for more than 2 minutes with the gun released. The recycled water heats up considerably, seriously damaging the pump.
10WARNING: Appliances equipped with T.S.– Total Stop : these appliances should not be left in standby for more than 5 minutes.
11WARNING: Switch the appliance off completely (master switch on (0)OFF) whenever it is left unattended.
12WARNING: Every machine is tested in its operating conditions, so it is normal for a few drops of water to be left inside it.
13WARNING: Take care not damage the electric cable. 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
13b WARNING : The power cord should not be used to pull or lift the machine.
14WARNING: Appliance with fluid under pressure. Keep a firm hold on the gun and be prepared to take the kickback pressure. Only use the high pressure nozzle provided with the appliance. 16WARNING: This appliance is not intended for  use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
17WARNING: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
18WARNING: Never start the high-pressure cleaner without first completely unwinding the high-pressure hose.
19WARNING: When winding and unwinding the pipe take care not to cause the high-pressure cleaner to overturn.
20WARNING: Before unwinding or winding the hose, switch the machine off and release the pressure in the hose itself (switching off).
21WARNING: Risk of explosion — Do not spray flammable liquids.
22WARNING: To ensure machine safety, use only original spare parts from the manufacturer or approved by the manufacturer.
23WARNING: Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to clean clothes or footwear.
WARNING : Water that has flown through backflow preventers is considered to be non-potable.
XX WARNING : the machine shall be disconnected from its power source, by removing the plug from the socket-outlet, during cleaning or maintenance and when replacing spare parts
XJ WARNING: If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction.
XY WARNING: Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.

USAGE

DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
See the specific instructions manual provided.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
See the specific instructions manual provided.

WATER SUPPLY
Water supply collection

Water supply from the water main

• Connect a supply hose (not included) to the water inlet of the unit and to the water supply.
• Open the water supply.

The cleaner can only be connected to the water mains if the water mains is separated by a backflow preventer. Make sure that the hose is at least Ø 13mm-1/2 inch and that it is reinforced.
WARNING : Water that has flown through backflow preventers is considered to be non-potable.
IMPORTANT : Only clean or filtered water should be used for intake. The delivery of the water intake tap should be equal to the double of the maximum pump range.

• Minimum delivery rate: 15 l/ min.
• Maximum intake water temperature: 40°C
• Max inlet water pressure: 1Mpa

Place the cleaner as close to the water supply system as possible.

Water supply from an open container

• Unscrew the coupling part for the water inlet.
• Screw the suction hose with filter (not included) onto the water connection of the unit.
• Hang the filter in the container.
• Vent the unit before operation.
• Unscrew the high-pressure line at the high pressure outlet of the unit.
• Switch on the unit and let it run until water free of bubbles emerges at the high-pressure outlet.
• Switch off the unit and screw on the high-pressure hose again.

Failure to comply with the above conditions causes serious mechanical damage to the pump and the loss of warranty cover.

LECTRICITY SUPPLY

The appliance’s electrical connection must comply with the IEC 60364-1 standard.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the nameplate data are the same as those of the electrical mains and that the socket is protected by a differential security breaker with tripping sensitivity below 0.03 A – 30 ms.

• If the appliance’s plug is not compatible with the socket, have the socket replaced with another of suitable type by professionally qualified staff.
• Never use the appliance in ambient temperatures below 0° C if it is equipped with a PVC (H VV-F) cable.

XY WARNING: Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
XJ WARNING: If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction. Information for supply may also be obtained from the plug manufacturer.

PLUG

HOW TO CONNECT THE CORD TO A U.K. PLUG: IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue Neutral
Brown Live
Yellow/Green Earth

Please read the instructions given below before connecting the cord to a plug. If in doubt please consult a qualified electrician. As the colours of the wires in  the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wires that is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red. The wire that is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black.
Safety points for rewireable or moulded plug:
The mains lead of this appliance may be already fitted with a BS1363 13A plug.

• If your socket outlet is not suitable for the plug, then the plug must be removed (cut off if it is a moulded on plug), the flexible cord insulation should be stripped back as appropriate and a suitable 3 pin plug fitted.

WARNING: Dispose of a plug that has been cut from the power supply cord, as such a plug is hazardous if inserted in a live 13A socket outlet elsewhere in the house.

• Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA marked fuse, approved to BS1362, of the same rating must be used.

• Always replace the fuse cover after fitting a fuse.
  The plug must NOT be used if the cover is omitted or lost until a replacement is obtained.

• Make certain that only the correct fuse cover is used and fitted.

• For plugs with detachable fuse cover the replacement must be the same as the colour insert in the base of the plug, or as directed by the embossed wording on the base of the plug.

• If the detachable fuse cover is lost a replacement may be purchased from a Service Centre.
