•  The pressure of the water supply must not be in excess of 8 bar/116 psi.
•  Do not operate the high pressure cleaner with a priming depth in excess of 0 m / 0 ft.
•  Do not operate the high pressure cleaner if it is not connected to a water supply.
•  Do not supply the high pressure cleaner with salt water or water containing impurities. In this event, run the high 

pressure cleaner for a few minutes with clean water.

•  Follow current regulations for connection to the mains water supply in the country where the water cleaner is 

installed.

•  A 

Skilled Technician

 must check that the electrical supply complies with the data indicated on the identification 

label (12) on the high pressure cleaner. It is especially important that the supply voltage does not differ more than 
±5% from that indicated on the label.

•  All connections to mains electricity must be carried out by a 

Qualified Eletrician

 according to IEC 364 regulations 

or the equivalent standard in the country where the high pressure cleaner is to be used. It is especially important that 
the current outlet where the high pressure cleaner is connected is provided with an earth conductor and a suitable 
fuse (according to the size indicated on the identification label and in the table of technical specifications), and 
must be protected by a magneto-thermal differential circuit breaker, whose sensitivity is not in excess of 30 mA.

•  If the power supply cable is too short, an extension cord can be used provided it is not longer than 10 m / 32.8 ft, the 

section of the wires is at least 1.5mm² and the plug and the socket are waterproof. Contact a 

Qualified Eletrician

so that all these requirements are followed.

  The use of unsuitable extension cords can be dangerous.

•  The  high  pressure  cleaner  must  be  used  with  care  and  attention.  It  is  your  responsibility  to  make  sure  that 

any  infrequent  users  have  read  these  instructions  and  are  acquainted  with  the  operation  of  the  water  cleaner; 
otherwise do not allow others to use the high pressure cleaner. Water cleaners must not be used by children or 
by unauthorised personnel.

•  Comply with the safety warnings in the operating and maintenance instructions of any optional accessories to be 

used.

•  Do not use the high pressure cleaner if:

-  the power supply cable or other important parts such as the high pressure pipe, the safety devices, the cleaner 

gun and the lance are damaged;

-  the high pressure cleaner has been tipped over or has been bumped;
-  there are obvious leaks of water.

  In these circumstances, the water cleaner should be tested by a 

Skilled Technician

.

•  It is especially important to pay great attention when the high pressure cleaner is used in areas where there are 

moving vehicles as these can crush or damage the power supply cable, the high pressure pipe, the cleaner gun 
etc.

•  During  operation,  never  leave  the  water  cleaner  unattended  and  make  sure  it  is  out  of  children’s  reach.  Pay 

particular  attention  when  using  it  in  kindergartens,  nursing  homes  and  old  people’s  homes,  as  unsupervised 
children, elderly people and disabled people may be present in such places.

•  Before using the water cleaner, make sure it is in a dry place and that it is in a flat and stable position in order 

to avoid accidents and prevent it from falling over.

•  Before moving the water cleaner, follow the instructions in the 

“Switching off”

 section.

•  Before starting the water cleaner, put on clothing which guarantees adequate protection against the possibility 

of incorrect manoeuvres of the jet of pressurised water. Do not operate the water cleaner near people unless they 
are also wearing protective clothing.

•  High-pressure jets of water can be dangerous if they are not used properly. Do not point the jet in the direction 

of people, animals, and energized electrical appliances or towards the water cleaner itself.

•  Hold the cleaner gun firmly during use: when operating the lever (28), the operator is subjected to the backlash of 

the high pressure. The power of this recoil is indicated in the table of technical specifications (recoil is expressed 
in N, where 1 N = 0.1 kg).

•  Do not point the jet towards oneself or other people in order to clean off clothing or footwear.
