THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE MACHINE AND MUST BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE THE UNIT IS INSTALLED, TURNED ON AND USED. The manual contains important information and instructions for the SAFE USAGE and MAINTENANCE of the machine. Therefore it must be kept in a safe place. Before using the machine, make sure that it is provided with the identification Label. In case the identification Label is missing, do not use the machine and consult your dealer immediately. The identification Label with the technical specification is fixed to the chassis. Check that the mains voltage is the same as shown on the identification label. This appliance is designed exclusively for washing by means of a pressurised water jet objects, things or surfaces eligible to be treated by the mechanical action of a pressurised water jet and by the possible chemical action of liquid detergent additives. The liquid detergent additives must be chosen in accordance with the chemical compatibility of the surface to be washed. IMPORTANT: use only biodegradable detergents with ph value between 7 and 12. These detergents must comply with the laws and regulations applicable in the country in which they are used. THE DESTINATION OF USE OF THIS MACHINE MUST BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO. ANY OTHER USE MUST BE CONSIDERED AS INCORRECT. THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY INCORRECT USE OF THE MACHINE. THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE TAMPERED WITH FOR ANY REASON. IN CASE OF TAMPERING THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON THE FUNCTIONING AND SAFETY OF THE MACHINE. 2
1. Keep the Machine out of the reach of children. GENERAL PRECAUTION FOR USE 2. High pressure water jets are potentially dangerous if used incorrectly. In particular, the jet must not be directed against persons or animals, electrical equipment or the machine itself. Do not use the machine when persons and/or animals are within the reach of the jet. 3. The user must operate the machine in safe conditions and situations avoiding any situation of potential danger to himself or other persons. In particular, the user will have to: Avoid operating in unstable balance conditions. Remember that the high pressure jet generates a recoil when the gun is opened. The force of this recoil changes according to the model and is given in the technical data chart. Use adequate protection clothing. Wear protective goggles and anti-split rubber shoes. Avoid contaminating the environment with polluting, toxic or harmful substances. 4. This machine is built in compliance with the requirements of the current safety regulations. The use of electrical appliances involves the respect of some basic rules: Do not touch electrical parts or components. All operations of inspection, maintenance or repair must be made by qualified personnel only. ALWAYS disconnet the plug from mains before proceeding to any of the above mentioned operations. 5. Do not pull power cord to unplug. Do not pull high pressure hose to move unit. 6. Before using the machine, inspect power cord to make sure it is not damaged. If it is damaged have it replace by qualified personnel. Replace power cable only with a cable of the same type as the original, this can be identified by marking on the outer sleeve. Do not damage or effect risky repair on power cord. 7. Before using the machine, inspect high pressure hose to make sure it is not damaged. In case of repacement make sure the new hose had at least the same specification as the original one. Technical specifications (maximum working pressure, date of manufacturing, name of manufacturer) must be marked on the outer sleeve of the hose. 8. While the machine is running, do not cover it and do not place it in an enclosed space with insufficient ventilation. 9. For the STD versions, do not leave the machine running for more than 5 minutes with the gun closed. Should it run for a longer period, the temperature of the recirculating water will increase rapidly and could risk damaging the pump seals. 10. For the sake of safety use only origuinal spare parts and accessories. THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY NON- COMPLIANCE WITH THE DESTINATION OF USE, WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FROST If the unit is to be stored in a place where there is risk of freezing, we suggest feeding some anti-freeze into the pump. In any case, to avoid any risk, we suggest you place the unit in a worm room, for a few minutes, before using. OIL CHANGE/CHECK The oil level must be checked periodically. The first and most important oil change must be made after the first 50 working hours. Following this, we suggest an oil change after every 300 working hours or at least once a year. 3
Oil type: SAE 20/30 Oil capacity: lt. 1,2. CONNECTION TO WATER SUPPLY INSTALLATION 1. The maximum temperature of the inlet water must not exceed 60 C (140 F). 2. Connect the water supply to the quick couplings (Pos. 5 + 6) by means of a reinforced hose (minimum 15 bar/200 psi) with internal diameter of no less than 13 mm (1/2"). 3. Considering that the water flow decreases in accordance with the lenght of the hose, make sure that the minimum quantity of water reaching the machine is in accordance with the one shown on the identification label on the machine. 4. Make sure that the machine is fed with clean water during use. Running the machine without water, or with dirty, sandy water or containing corrosive chemicals, causes serious damage to the machine. CONNECTION TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY 1. Make sure that the mains voltage is the same as shown on the identification Label on the machine. 2. Make sure that the plug complies with your local regulations, and that it is provided with ground connection (earth). 3. The power outlet must be protected by a residual circuit breaker having a sensitivity of less that 30 ma. 4. Do not connect other appliances to the same outlet. 5. Insert the plug after making sure that the switch on the machine is in the OFF position. The machines of the Professional series are supplied without electric plug. The electric plug will have to be fitted on to the power cord by qualified personnel, respecting the following instructions: 1. Use a plug that complies with the regulations of the Country in which it is used. In any case the plug must be grounded. 2. Make sure that the connection to the power cord is water tight. 3. The electrical rating of the plug must be suitable to the machine for which is used, as shown on the identification label. 4. In case you need to use an extension cord, check that the connection is water tight. Keep alla connections off the ground to avoid possible contacts with water. WARNING: IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE DURING OPERATION, TURN THE UNIT OFF FOR SAFETY REASON. STARTING For the first use, let the water run out until the water flow appears steady, clear and airless without fitting the lance. 1. Connect one end of the high pressure hose to the trigger gun (Pos. 38) and the other to the quick coupling (Pos. 7). Make sure that the adjustable nozzle on the end of the lance (Pos. 40) is in OFF position. 2. Now you can turn on the water. 3. Switch on the unit. You are ready to enjoy your work. 4. When you have finished to work switch off. 5. Hold the gun in the open position for a few seconds to allow the pressure to escape from the hose. HOW TO USE THE CHEMICAL INJECTION SYSTEM Select the low pressure by operating the adjustable nozzle (Pos. 40) in the ON position. It is possible to adjust the chemical quantity by using the suitable cursor of the detergent injector (Pos.8) After the detergents use we suggest to turn the adjustable nozzle in the OFF position and let the water run out until the water flow appears clear. 4
