Safety devices and their functioning
The machine automatically stops when releasing the trigger. The machine will
start again when reactivating the trigger. The spray handle features a locking
device. When activated, the spray handle cannot be operated. The machine has
an automatic self-resetting thermal protector. If the machine is overheated,
the thermal protector will cut the power supply. In this case, wait for the
machine to cool down. An integrated hydraulic safety valve protects the system
from excessive pressure.
Precautions
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 either 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.
- Use motor start/ delayed fuses with characteristic D according to IEC 947-2 or corresponding standard outside IEC
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized Nilfisk distributor or similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
- No actions are needed for adjusting machines marked with dual voltage and frequency.
- Supervise children not to play with the machine.
- The operator and any area of the site for cleaning should take action to protect themselves from being struck by debris dislodged during operation.
- Always wear safety boots, respiratory mask, ear protection, goggles, and protective clothing during operation.
- The high pressure generated by the machine is a particular source of danger. Hold the spray lance firmly with both hands. The spray lance is affected by a kickback force and a sudden torque during operation.
- See Part 3:3 for the actual size of the kickback force.
- During transportation: Position the machine horizontally on the backside and secure it with straps.
High-pressure washers shall not be used nor maintained by children. The machine can be used by people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if given supervision or instructions concerning the use of the machine in a safe way and the hazards involved.
Part 2:3 provides a general overview of the machine and operation elements along with illustrated sections on preparation, operation, water connection, storage, and user maintenance.
