Safety Instructions - Nilfisk-Advance N/G-6900A/C Operating Manual

Anybody working with the high pressure
cleaner should:
- be familiar with the safety functions,
equipment and maintenance of the
machine,
- be well-informed about the safety
and health regulations which apply
to the operation of the machine,
- have acquired a safe working tech-
nique so that accidents during work
are avoided.
It is the duty of the employer to make sure
everybody who operates the high pres-
sure cleaner meets these three require-
ments - if necessary by providing training
by persons with experience of working
with high pressure cleaners.
During use the high pressure cleaner
should be in good condition with regard
to safety. This is ensured by necessary
replacement of worn or defective parts
and by maintenance and service in
accordance with this operation guide.
The following safety instructions must be
carefully observed:
• The high pressure cleaner must be
earthed according to regulations.
• Never exceed the maximum pres-
sures and temperatures indicated
on the machine plate.
