and must be repaired.
2.5. USAGE AND CARE OF THE MACHINE
Only use this high pressure washer in domestic
conditions to clean chairs, tables, vehicles, terraces,
floors etc. Do not use the mouthpiece closer than
30cm to the surface being cleaned.
The high pressure blast that the machine produces
is dangerous if used unduly. Do not use this
machine to clean people or animals. Do not use this
machine to clean fragile objects or articles that do
not tolerate water. Do not direct the blast from this
machine onto yourself, other people, animals electric
equipment or to the machine itself.
Do not direct the blast produced by this machine to
objects that could be a health hazard.
Take extreme precaution when cleaning vehicles
and specifically tyres. The high pressure blast could
damage the tyres or the tyre valves and this could
cause a fatal accident when driving. When cleaning a
vehicle do not place the mouthpiece closer than 30cm
to the surface being cleaned.
Do not high pressure wash any other liquid that is
not water or water with soap. Do not high pressure
solvents, petrol or any other flammable products
because the mist exhaled by the machine is
FLAMMABLE and there exists therefore an extreme
danger of explosion. In any case, these products will
damage the joints and pieces of the pump lowering
the efficiency of the machine.
Make sure you connect the machine to a water source
with sufficient water flow for the machine to operate.
If the water flow is not sufficient, the machines pump
will work in a vacuum thus forcing it, weakening it and
in the long run, breaking it. The temperature of the
water should not be higher than 40C nor a pressure
superior to 7 bar (0.7 Mpa).
Make sure that the water to which the machine is
connected is clean and has no impurities. If there is
any risk that the water may contain impurities (sand or
other materials) you should filter it firstly.
Use this machine and its accessories as per the
instructions in the manual. The use of this machine
for jobs different to those stipulated in the manual will
cause dangerous situations.
Only use high pressure hoses as well as
accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
All these elements are important to guarantee your
security.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for any
damages caused through the incorrect use of this
machine.
Do not use this machine when temperature is below
0º C.
Do not overstretch the machine. Use the machine for
its recommended use. The use of the machine for its
correct job will guarantee a better job as well as a
safe use.
If you stop work for a prolonged time, disconnect the
machine from the mains.
Service the machine adequately. Check the high
pressure hose, the gun and other security devices
and ensure that these do not have any defects prior
to use as these will cause underperformance as well
