Safety; Warning Refi Lling With Diesel; Asbestos - Nilfisk-ALTO CONTRACTOR DIESEL Instruction Manual

1.0 Safety

Your CONTRACTOR DIESEL washer has been
developed and manufactured in accordance with
the latest working safety regulations.
Caution! However, to prevent possible per so nal
accidents or damage to any other product, we
advise you to read carefully through this section
on safety precautions before you operate your
washer for the fi rst time.
General safety precautions
1. Always use both hands for operating spray
equipment to maintain complete control of
the lance.
2. Water jets should never be directed towards
people, pets, electrical wiring or the Nilfi sk-
ALTO CONTRACTOR DIESEL machine itself.
3. Always switch off engine during work breaks.
4. Connect or disconnect the high pressure
hose ONLY when the engine is stopped.
5. Use only those hoses and nozzles specifi ed
by Nilfi sk-ALTO.
6. The machine should only run for a maximum
of fi ve minutes once the spray handle has
been released (the pump then circulates the
water internally and the machine will over-
heat unless stopped after 5 minutes).
7. The pump is equipped with a high pressure
relief safety valve. This adjustment, like any
others that require the use of tools, should
only be made by a trained service technician.
8. Operating the machine when it, or any at-
tachments are frozen, is dangerous. Be sure
everything is thawed before operating the
machine.
9. Manufacturer's instructions for the use of any
detergents should be carefully observed at
all times.
10. During work breaks, or any time lances or
accessories are changed, the spray handle
must be secured by rotating the safety knob
into position O.

quate ventilation, keep the engine at least
1m/3ft away from buildings and other equip-
ment during operation.
