2 Safety precautions and working techniques

Before starting up your machine for the fi rst time, this instruction manual must be read through
carefully. Save the instructions for later use.

WARNING!

• Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous to health.
Where applicable use a device in order to avoid or re­duce aerosols production, e.g., a shield covering the
nozzle. For protection against aerosols use a respira­tory mask of class FFP 2 or higher.

• The high water pressure generated by the machine
and the power connection are particular sources of
danger.

• Machines shall not be used by children or untrained
personnel. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the machine.

• Do not use the machine within range of persons un­less they wear protective clothing.

• Before starting up your machine please check it care­fully for any defects. If you fi nd any, do not start up
your machine, contact your Gerni distributor. The in­sulation of the electric cable should be faultless and
without any cracks. If the electric cable is damaged,
an authorized Gerni di stributor should replace it.

• Always unplug the power plug before cleaning or
maintenance and when replacing parts or converting
the machine to another function.

during operation.

Transporting the high pressure washer

• When transporting the machine in or on a vehicle, it



must be secured, e.g. with straps, so that it cannot slip
or tip over.

• Gerni recommends that the machine is positioned
horizontally on the backside, when transported in or
on a vehicle.

Detergents

• This machine has been designed for use with clean­ing agents supplied or recommended by Gerni. The
use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may ad­versely affect the function of the machine.

 Before starting the work



Electrical connection

Inspecting the machine

• Do not use the machine if a supply cord or important
parts of the machine are damaged, e.g., safety de­vice, high pressure hose, and spray handle and spray
attachments.

• The trigger of the spray handle must move easily and
automatically return to its starting position when re­leased.

• Always keep high pressure hose and spray attach­ment in good condition (clean, moving easily) and cor­rectly assembled.

WARNING!

Minimize the risk for electrical shock:

• Voltage and frequency of the machine (see rating
plate) must match the voltage of and frequency of the
mains supply.

• Only connect the machine to electrical installation
made by a certifi ed electrician and com ply with IEC
60364-1.

• It is recommended that the electrical supply to the

6

Original Instructions

machine should include a residual current device that
will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth
exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms.

• Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous. If an
extension cable is used, it shall be suitable for outdoor
use, and the connection has to be kept dry and off the
ground.

• Gerni recommends use of an extension cable drum
when cable extension is needed which keeps the
socket at least 60 mm above the ground.

• If the electric cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by an authorized Gerni distributor or similar qualifi ed
person in order to avoid a hazard.

Water connection

• This high pressure washer is only allowed to be con­nected with the drinking water mains, when an appro­priate backfl ow preventer has been installed, Type BA
according to EN 60335-2-79.

• The backfl ow preventer can be ordered under number

106411177.

• As soon as drinking water has fl own through the back­fl ow preventer, it is no longer regarded as drinking
water.

• Operation by suction (e.g. a rainwater vessel) is car­ried out without a backfl ow preventer – see “Connec-
ting to a pressureless water supply”. The machine
can be connected to water mains with a max. inlet­pressure of 1 MPa/10 bars and max. 40°C.

Safety devices

Locking device on spray handle:

• The spray handle features a locking device. When the
pawl is activated, the spray handle cannot be ope­rated.

Thermal sensor:

• A thermal sensor protects the motor against overload­ing. The machine will restart after a few minutes when
the thermal sensor has cooled.

7Original Instructions

Pressure safety device:

• An integrated hydraulic safety valve protects the
system from excessive pressure.

During work

WARNING!

• It is not allowed to clean asbestos-containing surfaces
with high pressure.

• Risk of explosion – Do not spray fl ammable liquids.

• Never draw in fl uids containing solvents (e.g., gaso­line, heating oil, paint thinner or acetone) These sub­stances damage the materials used in the machine.
Their spray is highly combustible, explosive and poi­sonous.

• Never direct the water jet at yourself, other persons,
not even to clean clothing or footwear - risk of injury.

• Never direct the water jet at pets or other animals.

• Never direct the water jet at live electrical equipment
or the machine itself - danger of short-circuiting.

• The spray lance is affected by a kickback force less
than 20N and a sudden torque when activating the
trigger of the spray handle during operation.

• This high pressure washer machine must not be oper­ated at temperatures below 0°C.

• Never start up a frozen machine. Frost damages are
not covered by the guarantee!

• Always ensure fi rm and safe footing.

• The machine shall be operated in an upright position.

• If the machine is left or not used for 5 minutes, it must
be switched off on the start/stop switch "O" (1).

After fi nishing the work

WARNING!

• Always switch off the machine and unplug the power
plug from the socket after work and when leaving the
machine unattended.
