IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

• Read all the instructions before using the machine.
• The machine must not be left unattended during opera-
tion.
• Ensure the machine is situated on firm ground.
• ATTENTION ! Since the smoke outlet is aimed directly
in the atmosphere, it must be considered as a free flame,
therefore the unit must absolutely not be used in fire
hazard areas or in areas with gases or other inflammable
substances. It's the responsibility of the customer to ensure
that such hazard conditions are not present before utilizing
the unit.
• ATTENTION!
Insert the brake only when the appliance is standing.
• Do not pull the cable in order to unplug. Do not pull the
hose to move the unit.
• Do not damage or effect risky repairs on the electric
cable.
• Always disconnect the plug before disassembling any part
of the unit, or effecting any servicing.
• Avoid storing the unit in cold places where there is danger
of freezing.
• Provide adequate ventilation when operating the appliance
indoors (danger of poisoning).
If the exhausts have to be conveyed outside by a chimney
extension, it is compulsory to mount on the burner a special
accessory (available on request).
ATTENTION !
• When the machine is used with hot water, and in the
presence of air currents, it is compulsory to fit the chimney
extension (available on request).
• The appliance must not be installed in damp places or
places with an aggressive atmosphere.
• Do not use the appliance in the rain or during thunder-
storms.
• When using an extension cable, it is essential to follow
instructions given in para 6.7.
Wrong choice of the cable dimension may damage the
functioning of the unit.
• Ensure that the unit does not run for more than 5 minutes
while the gun is closed. Should it run for a longer period,
the temperature of the re-cycling water will increase rapidly
and it might damage the pump seals.
• The unit must not run without water. Lack of water will
cause serious damage to the seals.
* The water jet coming from the high pressure nozzle causes
the gun to recoil. Therefore grip the lance and gun firmly.
• Do not direct the water jet towards yourselves, other
people, animals, the unit or electrical components.
• Do not use the water jet to clean clothes or shoes worn
by yourselves or other people.
• ATTENTION ! Do not use the machine when other people
are in the working area unless they are wearing suitable
protective clothing.
• Never touch the water jet (danger of injuries or burns).
• High pressure cleaners must not be operated by children,
or unauthorised personnel (danger of accidents caused by
improper use).
• Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned at a mini-
mum distance of 30 cm, otherwise they might be damaged
by the high pressure jet. First indication of damage is
discoloration of the tyre. Damaged tyres may cause fatal
accidents.
• Materials containing asbestos and other toxic substances
must not be sprayed down.
• Suitable protective clothing should be worn to protect the
operator from backsprays.
• Ensure that all connecting hoses are securely screwed
on.
• The gun trigger must not be clamped when operating
the unit.
• The exhaust opening must not be blocked.
• Do not bend over or touch the inside of the exhaust
opening when operating with hot water or steam (danger
of burns).
• Do not lean any kind of material on the burner chim-
ney.
ATTENTION
(Only for version with inflatable tyres)
• Check that the pressure of the inflatable tyre does not
exceed the MAX pressure indicated on the tyre itself (1
BAR = 14,1 PSI)
