Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play

Inhalation of aerosols can be
hazardous to health.

local regulations.
Besides the operating instruc-
tions and the binding accident
prevention regulations valid
in the country of use, observe
recognized regulations for safe-
ty and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Transport
For safe transport in and on
vehicles we recommend pre-
venting the equipment from
sliding and tilting. Secure it with
tie-downs.
For transport at temperatures
around or below freezing 0°C
(32°F), anti-freeze should be
drawn into the pump beforehand
(see section 6).
Before starting the cleaner
CAUTION!
High-pressure water jets can
be dangerous if misused. The
jet must not be directed at
persons, animals, live electri-
cal equipment or the cleaner
itself.
Wear appropriate protective
clothing and eye protection.
This indicates
tips and in-
structions to sim-
plify work and to
ensure safe operation.
Operations
marked with this
symbol should
only be carried
out by Nilfisk-
ALTO Service Tech-
nicians.
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other per-
sons in order to clean clothes or
footwear.
During operation of the cleaner,
recoil forces are produced at the
spray handle and spray lance
and, when the spray lance is
held at an angle, a torque is
also created. The spray handle
and spray lance must therefore
be held firmly in both hands.
Do not use the cleaner when
other people without protective
clothing are in the working area.
Check that cleaning will not
result in dangerous substances
(e.g. asbestos, oil) being
washed off the object to be
cleaned and harming the envi-
ronment.
Do not clean delicate parts
made of rubber, fabric, etc. with
the 0° jet. Keep some distance
between high pressure nozzle
and surface in order to prevent
the surface from damage.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.
