1 Important safety instructions
For your own safety
The high-pressure washer
may only be used by persons
instructed in its use and who
have been expressly authorised
to do so.
Although extremely easy to
operate, children should not be
allowed to use the washer.
General
Use of the high-pressure washer is subject to the applicable
local regulations.
Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident
prevention regulations valid in
the country of use, observe recognised regulations for safety
and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Transport
Transport of the high-pressure
washer in upright position only.
For safe transport in and on
vehicles we recommend to prevent the equipment from sliding
and tilting by fixing it with belts.
For transport at temperatures
around or below 0°C, antifreeze should be drawn into the
pump beforehand (see chapter
5).
Before starting the washer
Before use, check that the highpressure washer is safe and in
proper condition.
Regularly check whether the
power cord is damaged or
shows signs of ageing.
Use the high-pressure washer
only when the mains power
lead is in a safe condition. (risk
of electric shock if damaged!).
Check the rated voltage of the
high-pressure washer before
connecting it to the mains power supply. Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage of
the local mains power supply.
We strongly recommend that
the power supply to the high
pressure washer be connected
via a residual current circuit
breaker.
This device stops the supply
of electricity if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for
30 ms or it has an earth tester
circuit.
Operate the washer only in an
upright position!
Please observe the regulations
and provisions applicable in
your country. Before putting the
high-pressure washer into service, carry out a visual check of
all the major components.
CAUTION!
High-pressure water jets can
be dangerous if misused. The
jet must not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical
equipment or the washer itself.
Wear appropriate protective
clothing and eye protectors.
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other persons in order to clean clothes or
footwear.
Symbols used to mark
instructions
Before using the
high-pressure
washer, be sure
to also read the
enclosed operating instructions and keep them
within reach at all times.
Safety instructions
in these operating
instructions which
must be observed
to prevent risks to persons are
marked with this danger symbol.
This symbol is
used to mark
safety instructions that must
be observed to
prevent damage
to the machine and its performance.
This indicates tips
and instructions to
simplify work and
to ensure safe operation.

POSEIDON 2
During operation of the washer,
recoil forces are produced at
the spraying device and, when
the spray lance is held at an
angle, a torque is also created. The spraying device must
therefore be held firmly in both
hands.
Do not use the washer when
other people without protective clothing are in the working
area.
Check that cleaning will not
result in dangerous substances
(e.g. asbestos, oil) being
washed off the object to be
cleaned and harming the environment.
Do not clean delicate parts
made of rubber, fabric, etc. with
the 0° jet. Keep some distance
between high pressure nozzle
and surface in order to prevent
the surface from damage.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.
NOTE!
The specifications of the highpressure hose (max. permissible pressure and temperature)
are printed on the hose.
Do not continue to use the
washer if the mains power lead
or high-pressure hose is damaged.
Ensure adequate air circulation. Do not cover the washer
or operate it in inadequately
ventilated rooms!
Store the washer where
it will not be exposed to
frost!
Never operate the washer without water. Even brief shortages
of water result in severe damage to the pump seals.
Operation
CAUTION!
Unsuitable extension cords can
represent a source of danger.
Always unwind cord from the
reels completely to prevent the
power cord overheating.
When using an extension cord,
connectors must be of watertight construction.
When using an extension cord,
check the minimum cross-sections of the cable:
Cable length
m
Cross section
<16 A <25 A
up to 20 m
ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm²
20 to 50 m
ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm²
Do not damage the mains
power lead (e.g. by driving over
it, pulling or crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug only (do not
pull or tug the power cord).
Electrical equipment
CAUTION!
Never spray electrical equipment with water: danger for
persons, risk of short-circuiting.
The washer may only be connected to a correctly installed
plug socket.
Switching on the washer may
cause voltage fluctuations.
Voltage fl uctuations should not
occur if the impedance at the
transfer point is less than 0.17.
If in doubt ask your local electricity supplier.
Maintenance and repair
CAUTION!
Always remove the plug from
the mains plug socket before
cleaning or carrying out maintenance work on the washer.
Carry out only the maintenance
operations described in the
operating instructions. Use only
original spare parts.
Do not make any technical
modifications to the high-pressure washer.
Ensure that the machine is regularly serviced by Authorised
dealers in accordance with the
maintenace plan. Failure to do
so will invalidate the warranty.
CAUTION!
High-pressure hoses, fittings
and couplings are important for
the safety of the washer. Use
only high-pressure parts approved by the manufacturer!
If the power cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by authorized Service or an electrician to
avoid danger before use of the
washer is continued.
Use only the type of power cord
specified in Operating Instructions.
Please contact the Service department or an authorised specialist work-shop for all other
maintenance or repair work!
Safety Devices
Unloader valve
Unacceptably high pressure is
fed back without residual pressure via a bypass line into the
