In the event of any damage contact your Nilfisk-Alto dealer immediately. [. . . ] 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. Do not use the cleaner when other people without protective clothing are in the working area. asbestos, oil) being washed off the object to be cleaned and harming the environment. Do not clean delicate parts For your own safety Before using the high-pressure cleaner, be sure to also read the enclosed operating instructions and keep them within reach at all times. The appliance must only be used by persons, who have been instructed in its correct usage and explicitly commissioned with the task of operating it only be operated under supervision not be used by children 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. Do not use any unsafe work techniques. Transport Transport of the high-pressure cleaner is easy on its large wheels. For safe transport in and on vehicles we recommend to prevent the equipment from sliding and tilting by fixing it with belts. Transport (when tilted): do not tilt the machine on the front with the water connections. 2 POSEIDON 4 made of rubber, fabric, etc. Keep some distance between high pressure nozzle and surface in order to prevent the surface from damage. The maximum permissible working pressure and temperature are printed on the high-pressure hose. Do not continue to use the cleaner if the mains power lead or high-pressure hose is damaged. Do not cover the cleaner or operate it in inadequately ventilated rooms!Even brief shortages of water result in severe damage to the pump seals. or tug the power cord). Never spray electrical equipment with water: danger for persons, risk of short-circuiting. The cleaner may only be connected to a correctly installed plug socket. Voltage fluctuations should not occur if the impedance at the transfer point is less than 0. 15 . High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the cleaner. 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 Storing the cleaner (below 0 C) Store the cleaner where it will not be exposed to frost!If the high-pressure cleaner is stored in a room with temperatures around or below 0 C, antifreeze should be drawn into the pump beforehand: 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 A3)" as required, but at least every 12 months, by an authorised inspector.
