COMMAND AND CONTROL DEVICES
!
Warning
Before connecting the machine to the water supply and to the
power mains, it is essential to know the function of the cleaner's
command and control devices.
SAFETY DEVICES
The safety devices protect the user and the appliance. They
must not be tampered with or used for other than their desi-
gnated purpose.
Safety valve: protects the high pressure hydraulic circuit in
the event of a by-pass valve malfunction or if the hydraulic
circuit is blocked.
The safety valve is calibrated by the Manufacturer and sealed.
Operations involving the safety valve must be performed by a
technical service centre only.
Safety device on lance
handgrip: Prevents the trig-
ger on the handgrip from being
operated accidentally.
Thermal cutout: stops the
high pressure washer if the
electric motor overheats.
WATER CIRCUIT CONNEC-
TION
Connect the feed hose to the
mains (fig. 5A) and to the ho-
setail on the cleaner (fig. 5B).
Check that the pressure and
quantity of the water supplied
by the mains are sufficient for
the cleaner to work properly:
2 to 8 BAR (29 to 116 PSI).
Maximum temperature of
feeding water 50°C (122°F).
Connect the high pressure
hose to the cleaner (fig. 5C)
and to the lance (fig. 6).
!
Danger
The cleaner must operate
with clean water. Dirty or
sandy water, corrosive che-
micals and solvents can
English
cause severe damage to the cleaner.
!
Never suck up liquids containing solvents or acids in the pure
state, for example petrol, paint solvents or diesel. The spray mist
from the lance is highly inflammable, explosive and poisonous.
Failure to respect the above absolves the manufacturer
of all liability and represents negligent use of the product.
Current regulations specify that the appliance may not be con-
FIG. 4
nected to the drinking water supply unless a suitable system
separator is fitted.
Use a suitable EN 12729 type BA system separator.
Water passing through a system separator is no longer classi-
fied as drinking water.
!
Do not connect the machine to a drinking water container.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connection of the cleaner to the mains must be carried out
be skilled technicians able to ensure that all regulations in
force are complied with
and legislation.
Ensure that the mains voltage available is the same as the vol-
tage at which the cleaner is supposed to work; this is indicated
on the identification plate.
!
- The electric cable must be protected from accidental crushing.
- Do not use the machine if the supply cable is damaged.
- The use of any electric appliance requires the respect of

some basic rules:
• Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not use the appliance bare-footed or with unsuitable
clothing.
• Do not pull the supply cable or the appliance itself in order
to disconnect the plug from the electric supply.
(For water cleaners rated at less than 3 kW fitted with plug).

FIG. 5
Three-phase models: check the direction of rotation.
After electrical connection, always check the direction of
engine rotation by verifying the presence of air coming out of
the exhaust.
If the direction of engine rotation is incorrect, no air will come
out of the exhaust.
To check, run the high pressure washer for a few moments.
If the engine is rotating in the wrong direction, stop the high
pressure washer immediately and reverse the two phase
connections.
Prolonged use of the high pressure washer with the engine
rotating in the wrong direction could damage the burner.
As for the protection against electric shock, the H.P.cleaner
belongs to CLASS I.
