User manual NILFISK POSEIDON 3

[. . . ] 3/4" (19 mm). Before use, check that the high-pressure cleaner is safe and in proper condition. Regularly check whether the power cord is damaged or shows signs of ageing. Use the high-pressure cleaner only when the mains power lead is in a safe condition. Check the rated voltage of the high-pressure cleaner before connecting it to the mains power supply. [. . . ] 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. Before starting the cleaner Before using the cleaner for the first time, check it carefully to 2 POSEIDON 3 Do not use the high-pressure hose for lifting loads. 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!Never operate the cleaner without water. Even brief shortages of water result in severe damage to the pump seals. The cleaner may only be connected to a correctly installed plug socket. Switching on the cleaner may cause voltage fluctuations. Voltage fluctuations should not occur if the impedance at the transfer point is less than 0. 15 . If in doubt ask your local electricity supplier. 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 A3)" 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. Storing the cleaner (below 0C) 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 0C, antifreeze should be drawn into the pump beforehand: Control / Operation Maintenance and repair CAUTION!Unsuitable extension leads can represent a source of danger. Always unwind cord from the reels completely to prevent the power cord overheating. Plugs and connectors of mains power leads must be at least splash water-proof. When using an extension cord, check the minimum cross-sections of the cable: Cable length m up to 20 m 20 to 50 m Cross section <16 A <25 A 1. 5mm 2. 5mm 2. 5mm 4. 0mm CAUTION!Always remove the plug from the mains plug socket before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work on the cleaner. Carry out only the maintenance operations described in the operating instructions.
