ensure a safe operation.

1 Important safety notes

Before using the high-pressure washer, be sure to also read the enclosed operating instructions and keep them within reach at all times.

The high-pressure washer may only be used by persons instructed in its use and who have been expressly authorised to do so.

General

Use of the high-pressure washer is subject to the applicable local regulations.

In addition to the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regulations in the country of use, the generally recognised rules for safe working must also be observed.

Any method of use endangering the safety of persons or equipment is forbidden.

Before use

Before use, check that the high-pressure cleaner is in a safe and proper condition.

Operate the pressure washer only in an upright position!

Important notes:

Do not connect the pressure washer directly to the public drinking water mains (observe DIN 1988 and EN 1717).

A connection is permitted, however:

• briefly to a pipe interrupter with moving section
  with a free outlet

Water may also be drawn from an open container or from a well or surface water not intended for the drinking water supply. Please use suction set for this. Ensure that neither dirty water nor liquids containing solvents are sucked in.

Please observe the regulations and provisions applicable in your country. Before putting the high-pressure washer into service, carry out a visual check of all the major components.

High-pressure jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or the pressure washer itself.

During operation of the washer, recoil forces are produced at the spray lance and, when the lance is held at an angle, a torque is also created. The lance must therefore be held firmly in both hands.

Risk of injury!

Do not direct the jet towards yourself or towards other persons in order to clean clothes or footwear.

Do not use the washer 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 environment.

Do not clean delicate parts made of rubber, fabric, etc. with the round jet. Hold the nozzle at a distance of at least 15 cm when cleaning with the high-pressure flat jet.

Although extremely easy to operate, children should not be allowed to use the pressure washer.

Do not use the high-pressure hose for lifting loads.

Do not continue to use the washer if the quick coupling or high-pressure hose is damaged.

Never use the machine in areas where there is danger of fire or explosion. When using the pressure washer, stand at least 1m from buildings, etc.

Ensure an adequate air circulation. Do not cover the washer or operate it in inadequately ventilated rooms! The exhaust fumes are dangerous!

Store the pressure washer where it will not be exposed to frost!

Never operate the pressure washer without water. Even brief shortages of water result in severe damage to the pump seals.

Maintenance and repair

CAUTION!

Before cleaning and servicing the high pressure washer, always remove the ignition plug cable first.

Carry out only the maintenance operations described in the operating instructions. Use only original Nilfisk-ALTO spare parts. Do not make any technical modifications to the high pressure washer.

CAUTION!

High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the washer. Use only high pressure parts approved by the manufacturer!

CAUTION!

Failure to observe these instructions can endanger your safety.

Please contact the Nilfisk-ALTO service department or an authorised specialist work-shop for all other maintenance or repair work!

Testing

The machine satisfies IEC/EN 60335-2-79 standards.

The high pressure washer should be examined as needed or at least once a year by a technician to make sure that it is fail-safe.

Our service technicians are at your disposal for assistance and advice.

Safety device

The high pressure pump is equipped with a safety valve that redirects the by-pass pressure back to the suction side of the pump.

The safety device is set and sealed at the factory and must not be adjusted.
