Safety – general warnings
General:
The DiBO high pressure cleaner is a cleaner, which produce a water jet under

physical skills may not use the machine. If the machine is used by other persons
than you must as an owner inform the user of the safety regulations. The use of
the high pressure cleaner falls under the applying national provisions. Beside
the instructions for use and in the country where the machine is used applying,
binding regulations concerning accidents prevention, also the recognised
technical rules for safely and judicious work must be observed. Each working
method which can be dangerous for the security, must be avoided.
High pressure hoses:
High pressure hoses, fittings and joints are important for the security of the
machine. Use only by the manufacturer approved high pressure parts! Do
not use the high pressure hose as an draft cable. Maximal submitted working
pressure and temperature are printed one the high pressure hose. Let the
hoses cool off after hot water operation or operate the appliance briefly using
cold water. Look out for tripping hazard when the high pressure hose is unrolled
from the reel.
Spray with HP- jet:
The high pressure jet can be dangerous if she is abused. The jet cannot be
aimed on yourself, persons, animals, installations under electric tension or at the
machine itself.

Never spray electric installations with water:
danger for persons, short circuit danger.
Sensitive parts not cleaning with the point jet. At cleaning pay attention to
sufficiently distance between the high pressure sprinkler and the surface to
avoid a damage of the surface to clean. During the use keep all protective
coverings and doors of the machine closed. Define the spray array clearly and
provide a delimited distance with minimum 6 m around the spray array. Remove
all loose elements within the spray array, they could blow away. Never spray
from an unstable duty station (ladder, small boat, wharf...). During working with
the machine repercussion strengths appear to the lance. If the lance stand
slanting, moreover occur a turn moment. For this reason hold the lance with
both hands.
Carry security clothing, security optical device and hearing protection!
• Spray lance:
Stop the engine, if the spray lance must be exchanged. Make sure the
protective cap is covering the sprinkler nozzle.
Fix the lance coupling firmly to the gun. Don't block the handle of the spray
gun when the spray gun is in use.
Before the spraying activities: always hold the spray lance downwards!
