by children or untrained personnel.
High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are
important for the safety of the machine. Use only
hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by Nil-
fisk.
To ensure machine safety, use only original spare
parts recommended by Nilfisk.
Water that has flown through back-flow preven-

• A high pressure washer operates with different
levels of pressure and cleaning detergents for
various cleaning tasks and results. Always follow
instructions on detergents for use, emergency
and disposal.
• Do not operate the machine at temperatures be-
low 0°C. Never start a frozen machine, never use
it indoor and never cover it during use. This is
considered improper and wrongful use. Use of

Safety devices and their functioning
The machine automa tically stops when releasing
the trigger. The machine will start again when re-
activating the trigger. The spray handle features a
locking device. When activated, the spray handle
cannot be operated.
The machine has an automatic self-resetting thermal
protector. If the machine is overheated, the thermal
protector will cut the power supply. In this case, wait
for the machine to cool down. An integrated hydrau-
lic safety valve protects the system from excessive
pressure.
Precautions
The electric supply connection shall be made by a
qualified electrician and comply with IEC 60364-1.
It is recommended that the electric supply to this
machine should include either a residual current
device that will interrupt the supply if the leakage
current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a device
that will prove earth circuit.
• Use motor start/delayed fuses with characteristic
D according to IEC 947-2 or corresponding stand-
ards outside IEC.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by an authorized Nilfisk distributor or similar qual-
ified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• No actions needed for adjusting machines marked
with dual voltage and frequency.
• Supervise children not to play with the machine.
