the equipment is installed.
Plastic packaging must not be discarded in the environment.
After unpacking the equipment, make sure all parts are in perfect condition. Also make sure that the
identification and warning plates are in place and legible.
• In case of any doubt, do not use the equipment and contact a SKILLED TECHNICIAN.
• The equipment is not intended to be connected to the drinking water mains.
• The connection to the power source must be made by a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN and must be in
compliance with the requirements of IEC 60364-1.
The power supply line of this equipment must be fitted with a switch able to interrupt the power supply
whenever ground dispersion exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or with a device for testing the earth circuit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: this instruction does not apply to the 12 V
For these, throughout the instruction manual:
- by 'insert the plug in the socket' is meant that the connector of the red cable must be connected to the
positive pole of the battery and the connector of the black cable must be connected to the negative pole;
- by 'remove the plug from the socket' is meant that the connector of the red cable must be disconnected
from the positive pole of the battery and the connector of the black cable must be disconnected from
the negative pole.
• Contact a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN to:
- check that the electric system's power supply complies with the details shown on the identification
plate: in particular, the power voltage must not be outside the ± 5% range;
- make sure the power socket to which the equipment is connected has an adequate fuse (the value is
shown on the identification plate and on the technical data table).
• In the event of the power cable being too short, an extension can be used as long as this does not exceed
10 m/32.8 ft, and that the cross section of the cables is at least 1,5 mm² (models 230 V 50 Hz), for other
equipment (models 12 V
• WARNING. If an extension is used, the plug and the socket must be of the sealed-immersion type.
• WARNING. Inadequate extensions can be dangerous.
If an extension is used, this must be of the type for outdoor use and the connections must be kept dry and
off the ground. It is best to use an extension with cable winder so the sockets are at least 60 mm/2.4 in
off the ground.
• Do not use reductions or adapters between power plug and socket.
• The equipment is not intended to be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensorial
or mental capacities, or who lack the experience and expertise.
• The equipment must not be used by children. Children must be supervised to make sure they do not
play with the equipment.
• Observe the safety warnings given in the manual of any optional accessories used.
• WARNING. Do not use the equipment if the power cable or any important parts are damaged, e.g.: safety
devices, high-pressure hoses, spray gun.
• Do not use the equipment in the event of:
- it tipping over or suffering heavy knocks;
- evident water leaks.
In such cases, have the equipment checked by a SKILLED TECHNICIAN.
• Pay particular attention when using the equipment where vehicles are moving that could possibly drive
over the power cable and the high-pressure hose and possibly ruin them.
• Before starting the equipment:
- it must be put in a dry place, on a flat and stable surface to avoid any falls or tipping over; engage the
braking device, if fitted;
- wear garments and personal protective equipment that guarantee adequate protection from erroneous
manoeuvres with the jet of pressurised water.
• WARNING. Do not use the equipment near people if these are not wearing personal protective equipment.
• WARNING. Do not direct the high-pressure jet against yourself or other people to clean clothes or footwear.
• During use:
- should the identification plate or the warning plates deteriorate, contact a SKILLED TECHNICIAN to
have them restored;
- always keep an eye on the equipment and out of the reach of children; in particular, be very careful
when using near nurseries, clinics and old-people's homes, in case of children, elderly people or disabled
), contact a SKILLED TECHNICIAN.
