5 - IMPORTANT ADVICE

Read this manual carefully before installing and operating the clea-
ner.
· The machine must always be kept under supervision during use.
· The equipment must be firmly fixed to a solid wall.
· The equipment must be protected from atmospheric agents (espe-
cially rain)
· Do not pull the cable to remove the plug.
· Do not make temporary repairs to the electric cable and make sure
it is not damaged.
· Do not dismount machine parts and never carry out any maintenance
operations without first removing the plug.
· Do not expose the machine to very low temperatures that may cause
it to freeze.
· The machine must not be installed in areas with a damp or aggressive
atmosphere.
· If an electric cable extension is used, the relative instructions must
be followed (see 6.5).
The use of a cable with incorrect specifications may decrease machine
performance or even damage it.
· The machine must not be left working for more than 5 minutes with
the spray gun closed, otherwise the temperature of the recirculated
water will rapidly rise and may damage the sealing systems.
· Make sure that the machine is supplied with a continuous flow of wa-
ter, otherwise serious damage may be caused to the sealing system.
· The jet of water leaves the nozzle at high pressure causing the
spray gun to recoil. Therefore, make sure to firmly grip the lance and
the spray gun.
· Never direct the jet of water towards yourself, other people, animals
or the machine and electrical components.
· Do not use the jet of water to clean clothing or footwear when these
are being worn by people.
· ATTENTION! Do not use the equipment when other people are
present in the work area, unless they are wearing protective clothing.
· Never touch the jet of water with your hands
(danger of abrasions )
· The cleaner may not be used by children or unauthorised people
in general (danger of accidents arising from the improper use of the
machine).
· Vehicle tyres and valves may only be washed at a minimum spraying
distance of 30 cm, otherwise they may be damaged by the high pres-
sure jet; the first sign of damage to a tyre is dullness.
Damaged tyres are a mortal danger.
· It is forbidden to spray materials containing asbestos and other
products that are dangerous to health.
English
· To protect yourself from rebounding elements always wear suitable
protective clothing.
· Always make sure the flexible hoses are well connected.
· Do not block the spray gun lever during operation.

6.1 Unpacking the machine

· If damage caused by transport is discovered when the machine is
unpacked, inform your dealer immediately.
6.2 Checking the oil level in the high pressure pump
· Before starting the machine, open the cover and check the oil level
(it should be halfway up the sight glass).
· Do not start the machine if the oil level has decreased but top up if
necessary.
( See technical specifications, chapter 1 ).
6. Mounting standard accessories
· Hermetically connect the lance to the spray gun.
· Connect the high pressure nozzle to the lance.
· Firmly tighten the rotating connector of the machine/lance hose by
hand and check the other parts of the lance are well tightened.

6.4 Connection to water supply

· For water supply values please see technical specifications, chapter
1.
· Connect the water supply hose to the machine and make sure the
correct quantity of water reaches the machine.
· If water is supplied at too high a pressure, adjust flow with a tap.
· If the water is taken from an uncovered tank:
- move the pressure/flow regulation valve to max.
- move the detergent flow valve to 0 (closed).
- use a water supply hose with a minimum diameter of 3/4".
- always use a filter in the water supply hose.
