User manual NILFISK NEPTUNE 7

[. . . ] This symbol is used to mark safety instructions that must be observed to prevent damage to the machine and its performance. During operation of the cleaner, recoil forces are produced at the spraying device and, when the spray lance is held at an angle, a torque is also created. general Use of the high-pressure cleaner is subject to the applicable local regulations. Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regulations valid in the country of use, observe recognised regulations for safety and proper use. [. . . ] carry out only the maintenance operations described in the operating instructions. The mains power lead must not differ from the version specified by the manufacturer and may only be changed by an electrician. Please contact the Nilfisk-ALTO service department or an authorised specialist work-shop for all other maintenance or repair work! testing The cleaner conforms to the German , , Guidelines for Liquid Spray Jet Devices". The highpressure cleaner must be subjected to a safety examination in accordance with the , , Accident Prevention Regulations for Working with Liquid Spray Jet Devices (BGV D15)" as required, but at least every 12 months, by an authorised inspector. After all repairs or modifications to electrical equipment, the protective conductor resistance, the insulation resistance and the leakage current must be measured. Furthermore, a visual inspection of the mains power lead, a voltage and current measurement and a function test must be carried out. Our after-sales service technicians are at your disposal as authorised inspectors. The complete , , Accident Prevention Regulations for Working with Liquid Spray Jet Devices" Are available from the Carl Heymanns Verlag KG, Luxemburger Strasse 449, 50939 Cologne or from the appropriate association of employers' liability insurances. The pressure-bearing parts of this high-pressure cleaner have been manufactured in accordance with § 9 of the German Pressure Vessels Ordinance and successfully subjected to a pressure test. Safety devices Unacceptably high pressure is fed back without residual pressure via a bypass line into the intake line of the pump when the safety device is tripped. Always remove any dirt from the nipple before connecting the spray lance to the spray gun. Insert the nipple of the spray lance (B) into the quickrelease connection and release it. Pull the spray lance (or other accessory) forwards to check that it is securely attached to the spray gun. In the case of appliances with a hose reel: In hot water mode, unwind the high-pressure hose fully from the hose reel, as otherwise the hose reel may become warped due to the effects of the heat. Move main switch into the position 'Hot Water' (B) and select the required temperature on the temperature control 2. In case of interruptions in work: Also be sure to insert the safety catch even during short interruptions in work (see Fig. Turn the twist grip on the safety control block completely to the left (anticlockwise direction). For safety reasons, never tie back or wedge open the trigger of the spray gun in open position during operation. The trigger must be free to close when released, thus interrupting the flow of the water. 1 Techniques Efficient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of specific cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. [. . . ] To prevent accidents, always carefully roll up the electrical lead and the high pressure hose. Store the cleaner in a dry room without danger of frost or protect as below: 1. The machine is protected against frost when antifreeze solution emerges from the spray gun.
