User manual NILFISK VP 300

[. . . ] The use of other cleaning Original Instructions Agents or chemicals may adversely affect the safety of the appliance. To ensure the appliance safety only use original spare parts from the manufacturer or approved by the manufacturer. High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the appliance. only use hoses , fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer. [. . . ] thermal sensor: A thermal sensor protects the motor against overloading. The machine will restart after a few minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled. Pressure safety device An integrated hydraulic safety valve protects the system from excessive pressure. If the electric cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The following should be observed when connecting the high pressure washer to the electric installation: Only connect the machine to an installation with earth connection. The electric installation shall be made by a certified electrician and comply with IEC 60364-1. It is strongly recommended that the electric supply to this machine should include a residual current device (GFCI). This high pressure washer is only allowed to be connected with the drinking water mains, when an appropriate backflow preventer has been installed, Type BA according to EN 1717. 1 Application This high-pressure washer has been developed for domestic use for cleaning: - Car, motorbike, boat, caravan, trailer, patio/drive/flagstones, woodwork, brickwork, barbecue, garden furniture, lawn mower Section 5 describes the use of the high-pressure washer for vaious cleaning jobs. Only use the high-pressure washer for purposes described in this manual. The safety precautions must be observed to prevent damage to the machine, the surface to be cleaned or severe personal injuries. Working pressure and water volume can be regulated on the machine by turning the button for regulation of pressure / water volume (6). 1 General Efficient high presure 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. Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higher concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for several minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface being cleaned. In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical effect may be required. Special wash brushes offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car washing). Let the machine run until no more water runs through the spray handle. Machines without hose reel: Detach high pressure hose, coil it up and place it on the hose storage. Machines with hose reel: Coil the high pressure hose up on the hose reel. [. . . ] Allow machine to run with open trigger until regular working pressure resumes. Machine refuses to start Machine not plugged in Defective socket Fuse has blown Defective extension cable Fluctuating pressure Pump sucking air Valves dirty, worn out or stuck Pump seals worn out Motor busses Machine stops Low voltage or low temperature Fuse has blown Incorrect mains voltage Thermal sensor activated Nozzle partially blocked Fuse blows Fuse too small Machine often starts and stops by itself Machine starts, but no water comes out Button for regulation of Adjust the button to correct working prespressure / water volume not sure. In case problems other than the above occur, please contact your local Nilfisk-ALTO distributor. As specified in European Directive 2002/96/EC on old electrical and electronic appliances, used electrical goods must be collected separately and recycled ecologically. [. . . ]
