  • Page 7: Safety Rules

    SAFETY RULES The worker must wear long clothing, gloves, safety goggles and earmuffs. However the waterproofing protective clothing don’t provide protection against jets of water. In case of direct contact with the water high pressure jet, they don’t give a sufficient protection against the risk of injury During the transport and the use the machine has to be anchored to the floor of the vehicle or of the trailer in four points.
  • Page 8 Caution: when the machine is operating, all the exposed metallic parts where the steam circulates (nozzles, hose reels, weeding shield, booms, etc.) can cause burn. Always use appropriate cloche and protective gloves Put the MM unit in a place that is: - protected from cold - well-ventilated...
  • Page 9 Dispose of the waste oil and exhausted products in accordance with the environmental rules. Store them in an enclosed space and then take them to the closer storage. Don’t dumping and don’t empty it in the ground or in the drains. The maximum pressure of work for the weeding with water at a temperature of more than 80 °C doesn’t have to overcome 20 BAR Don’t enter in the working area of the machine (about 10m)
  • Page 10 The user has not done the normal periodical maintenance operations shown in the table to the authorized maintenance section. The machine is equipped with accessories or components not given by MM or not original. The operator doesn’t respect the indications and the instruction of the manual.
  • Page 11 SAFETY RULES: • Make sure that the lifting means are proper to support the weight • Make sure that there is sufficient space to move the machine in height. • Make sure that there is sufficient space to turn and/or to operate the trailer on which the machine is placed.
  • Page 12 PLACEMENT ON MOTORIZED VEHICLE OR ON TRAILERS For the placement on trailers make reference to the point above where characteristics and dimensions are indicated. Make sure that the weight at full load is compatible with the characteristics of the means of transport used. The fixing of this unit on the means of transport has to be done by qualified person who knows the specific features of the mean of transport.

  • Page 16 LANCE (pos. 14) The two lances fitted with the machine is proper to the weeding or the washing according to the accessories that the worker uses. Watering lances can be supplied on demand. The lances are equipped with swivel quick-couplings. The ring-nut has the only function to prevent the detachment of the accessories from the lance.
  • Page 17 SAFETY NORMS-GENERATOR never start the generator near petrol or fuel gas stations because of the potential danger of explosion Don’t fill the fuel tank while the motor is operating. Don’t smoke or use free fire near the fuel tank. Refuel (gasoline or diesel fuel o diesel), in well ventilated areas and with the machine off. Pay attention not to invert the two types of fuel.
  • Page 18 CONTROL, PROTECTION AND SAFETY DEVICES A) FLOW METER It starts and stops the burner during the opening and closing of the lance or the boom in order to avoid the overheating and to have a more constant temperature The flashing light (10) indicates an insufficient flow of water in the circuit when the steam outputs are open B) WATER SUPPLY FILTER Preserve the system from impurities like sand or rust.

  • Page 19: Starting The Generator

    STARTING PROCEDURE OF THE MACHINE The machine is provided with the level of the oil in the pump ready to use; however, it is necessary always to check it at the first operation. 1. Fill the tank with clean water till the level desired through the upper cap of the tank or through the floater placed in the upper part behind the tank.
  • Page 20 Follow one of the two procedures shows below to do the weeding or the washing: WEEDING MODE PROCEDURE To obtain the best weeding results you have to work with one or two weeding shields at the same time (one for each lance) or with a 40 cm boom on only one lance. The use with a weeding shield on a lance and the boom on the other lance doesn’t allow to reach the maximum temperature of work.
  • Page 21 USE OF THE ACCESSORIES FOR THE STEAM WEEDING The best using conditions and so the best weeding results will be obtained with the weeding shield very close to the ground in order to reduce as much as possible the heat dispersion. It is recommended to arrange the speed of the treatment according to the different types of ground (more or less flat), the density, the height or the type of weed you have to treat.
