2.0 Instructions for use
Before starting up your high pressure washer for the first time, we advise you to read through the following
sections: 2.0 Instructions for use and 3.0 Operating instructions and to follow all instructions to ensure the
protection of user, surroundings and machine.
2.1 Starting-up
Upon the unpacking of your machine please check it for any defects. If you find any, we kindly ask you to
contact your ALTO distributor.
Check the electric cable
The insulation of the electric cable should be quite faultless and without any cracks.
Please contact a qualified electrician or the nearest ALTO distributor if any doubts arise.
Check the voltage
Check that the voltage stated on the model tag corresponds to your mains voltage.
Power consumption, fuse
Check the power consumption stated on the model tag and then check correct prefuse.
Mains power connection
Faulty connection of the machine can cause electric shock.
l Only connect the machine to an installation with earth connection.
l If you are in doubt about connections, please contact a qualified electrician for correct installation.
l We recommend you to connect the machine to a power source with a Residual Current Device (RCD),
which will disconnect the power supply if the leakage current exceeds 30 mA for 30 milli seconds.
l The electric supply connection shall be made by a qualified electrician and comply with the latest edition
of the IEC Wiring Regulations.
Extension cable
If you want a wider radius of action ALTO highly recommend you to use an extension hose instead of an
extension cable. Where impracticable seek advice of a qualified electrician or the nearest ALTO distributor.
If you want to apply an extension cable when operating a three-phase high pressure washer, we recom-
mend you to use the cable dimensions mentioned below: (The use of the stated cable dimensions implies
that the mains voltage supplies a stable voltage corresponding to that stated on the model tag).

NOTE: If an extension cable is required it must be earthed and connected through the plug to the
earth cable of your supply network in accordance with prescribed safety regulations.

l Always use a cable similar to the one mounted on the machine i.e. with earth connection and for outdoor
use. If you are in doubt, please contact a qualified electrician or the nearest ALTO distributor.
