SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION! It is important to be careful
on safety grounds.
•
WARNING: This appliance is for outdoor use
only.
•
WARNING: Always disconnect the electric-
ity and water supplies on completion of every
job.
•
WARNING: Never use the appliance if the elec-
trical cable or important parts of the appliance
are damaged, e.g. safety devices, high pressure
hose, gun, etc.
•
WARNING: This appliance has been designed
for use with the detergent provided or the de-
tergent 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 ap-
pliance's safety at risk.
•
WARNING: Never use the appliance with peo-
ple in the vicinity, unless they are wearing pro-
tective clothing.
•
WARNING: 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.
•
WARNING: High pressure jets may be dan-
gerous if improperly used. Jets must never
be pointed at people, animals, life electrical
equipment or the appliance itself.
•
WARNING: The hoses, accessories and high
pressure couplings are important for the appli-
ance's safety. Use only hoses, accessories 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).
•
WARNING: the gun is fitted with a safety catch.
Whenever use of the machine is interrupted it
is important to operate the safety catch to pre-
vent accidental activation of the jet.
- Never point the jet at yourself or others to
clean clothing or footwear.
- Never allow children or untrained people to
use the appliance.
- Safety features: gun equipped with safety lock-
ing device, appliance equipped with (Class I)
overload cutout, pump equipped with by-pass
valve or shutdown device.
- The safety button on the gun is not there to
lock the lever during operation, but to prevent
its accidental operation.
•

A.S.S. – Automatic Stop System: 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.
