Symbols used to mark
instructions
Before using the
high-pressure
cleaner, be sure
to also read the
enclosed operat-
ing instructions and
keep them within reach at all
times.
Safety instructions in
these operating in-
structions which
must be observed
to prevent risks
to persons are
marked with this danger symbol.
This symbol is used
to mark safety in-
structions that must
be observed to pre-
vent damage to the ma-
chine and its performance.
This indicates
tips and in-
structions to
simplify work and
to en- sure safe operation.
1 Important safety instructions
For your own safety
The high-pressure cleaner 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 cleaner.
General
Use of the high-pressure cleaner
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
cleaner is easy on its large
wheels.
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.
– remove suction hose from
the detergent tank and close
tank filler with the cap provided with the machine.
– before putting the cleaner
into operation: pay attention
to allow the pump oil to run
back into the pump housing.
Check oil level, top up if necessary.
For transport at temperatures
around or below 0°C, anti-freeze
should be drawn into the pump
beforehand (see chapter 6).
Before starting the cleaner
If your 3-phase cleaner was
supplied without a plug, have
it fitted with a suitable 3-phase
plug with earth conductor, by an
electrician.
Before use, check that the highpressure 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. (risk of
electric shock if damaged!).
Check the rated voltage of the
high-pressure cleaner 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 cleaner be connected via a
residual current circuit breaker.
This device stops the supply of

POSEIDON 5
electricity if the leakage current
to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30
ms or it has an earth tester circuit.
Operate the cleaner only in an
upright position!
Please observe the regulations
and provisions applicable in
your country. Before putting the
high-pressure cleaner 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 cleaner 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.
During operation of the cleaner,
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 cleaner 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 maximum permissible
working pressure and tempera-
ture are printed on the highpressure hose.
Do not continue to use the
cleaner if the mains power lead
or high-pressure hose is damaged.
Ensure adequate air circulation. Do not cover the cleaner or
operate it in inadequately ventilated rooms!
Store the cleaner where
it will not be exposed to
frost!
Never operate the cleaner without water. Even brief shortages
of water result in severe damage to the pump seals.
Operation
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 lengthmCross 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 per-
sons, risk of short-circuiting.
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.
Maintenance and repair
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. Use only
original Gerni spare parts.
Do not make any technical modifications to the high-pressure
cleaner.
Ensure that the machine is regularly serviced by Authorised
Gerni 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 cleaner. Use
only high-pressure parts approved by the manufacturer!
The mains power lead must not
differ from the version specified
by the manufacturer and may
only be changed by an electrician.
Please contact the Gerni service department or an authorised
specialist work-shop for all other
maintenance or repair work!

5 Applications and methods
Efficient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of specific cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can
increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here is some basic
information about cleaning.
5.1.1 Soaking
Encrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up
by a period of soaking. This is for example an ideal method within
agriculture – for example, within pig sties. The ideal soaking method
can be achieved via use of foam or simple alkaline detergent. Let
the product lie on the dirty surfaces for around 30 minutes before
pressure washing. The result will be a much quicker high pressure
cleaning process.
5.1 Techniques
5.1.2 Detergent and Foam
Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the
chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are
applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order
to avoid “super clean” areas, where the detergent collects in higher
concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for
several minutes before rinsing before rinsing but never let it dry on
the surface being cleaned.
5.1.3 Temperature
Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils
and fats can be broken down more easily at higher temperatures also.
Proteins can be cleaned at temperatures of around 60°C. Oils, traffic
film around 70°C, and grease can be cleaned at 80°C - 90° C.
5.1.4 Mechanical Effect
In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical
effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes
offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt.
5.1.5 High Water Flow or
High Pressure
High pressure is not always the best solution and high pressure
may damage surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water
flow. Pressure levels of around 100 bar may be sufficient for vehicle
cleaning (in association with hot water). Higher flow levels give the
possibility to rinse and flush away large amounts of dirt easily.

pressure and apply normal car cleaning detergent.
Let detergents settle for 5 minutes before cleaning
off. Metallic surfaces can be cleaned using RimTop.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure
lance. Clean again from bottom to top. Use
accessories to clean in difficult to reach places.
Use brushes in order to add a mechanical cleaning
effect. Short lances can help for cleaning of motors
and wheel arches. Curved lances or undercarriage
washers can be valuable for the cleaning of car
underchassis and wheel arches.
3. Clean fragile areas such as motors, rubber at lower
pressure levels to avoid damage.
4. Apply a liquid wax using the pressure washer in

Apply on dry surfaces. Apply from top to bottom
on vertical surfaces. Let the foam act for up to 30
minutes for the optimal effect.
2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure
lance. Use applicable accessories. Use high
pressure to dislodge large amounts of incrusted dirt
or grime. Use lower pressure and high water volume
in order to rapidly flush away loose dirt and rinse
surfaces.
3. Apply DES 3000 disinfectant once the surfaces are
perfectly clean.
Areas covered by amounts of loose dirt, such as
animal remains in slaughterhouses, can be removed
by using high water flow to flush away the dirt to
evacuation pits or drains.
Tank cleaning heads can be used to clean barrels,
vats, mixing tanks etc. Cleaning heads may be
hydraulically or electrically powered and give the
possibility for automatic cleaning without a constant
user.
