1 Important safety notes
Before using the high-pressure
cleaner, be sure to also read the
enclosed operating instructions
and keep them within reach at all
times.
The high-pressure cleaner may
only be used by persons instructed in its use and
who have been expressly authorised to do so.
General
Use of the high-pressure cleaner
is subject to the applicable local
regulations.
In addition to the operating
instructions and the binding
accident prevention regulations in
the country of use, the generally
recognised rules for safe working
must also be observed.
Any method of use endangering
the safety of persons or equipment is forbidden.
Before use
Before use, check that the highpressure cleaner is in a safe and
proper condition.
Plugs and connectors of mains
power leads must be at least
splash water-proof.
Inspect the main power lead at
regular intervals for damage and/
or ageing.
Use the high-pressure cleaner
only when the mains power lead
is in a safe condition.
(risk of electric shock if damaged!).
Operate the cleaner only in an
upright position!
Important notes:
Do not connect the cleaner directly to the public drinking water
mains (observe
DIN 1988 and EN 1717).
A connection is permitted, however:
• briefl y to a pipe interrupter
with moving section
• with a free outlet
Water may also be drawn from
an open container or from a well
or surface water not intended for
the drinking water supply. Please
use suction set for this. Ensure
that neither dirty water nor liquids
containing solvents are sucked in.
Please observe the regulations
and provisions applicable in your
country. Before putting the highpressure cleaner into service,
carry out a visual check of all the
major components.
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must not
be directed at persons, animals,
live electrical equipment or the
cleaner itself.
During operation of the cleaner,
recoil forces are produced at the
spraying device ad, when the
spray lance is held at an angle,
a torque is also created. The
spraying device must therefore
be held fi rmly in both hands.
Risk of injury!
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other persons in order to clean clothes or
footwear.
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
round jet. Hold the nozzle at a
distance of at least 15 cm when
cleaning with the high-pressure
fl at jet.
Although extremely easy to
operate, children should not be
allowed to use the cleaner.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.
Do not continue to use the cleaner if the mains power lead or
high-pressure hose is damaged.
Ensure an adequate air circulation. Do not cover the cleaner or
operate it in inadequately ventilated rooms!
If the overload protection device
trips (motor cuts out), release the
trigger of the spray gun, insert
the trigger locking device and
turn the ON/OFF switch to position „O“. Allow the cleaner to cool
down for at least 3 minutes!
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.
The pressure-bearing parts of
this high-pressure cleaner have
been manufactured in
accordance with § 9 of the German Pressure Vessels Ordinance
and successfully subjected to a
pressure test.

Operation
Do not damage the mains power
lead (e.g. by driving over it,
pulling or crushing it).
Remove the plug from the plug
socket directly at the plug (not by
pulling or tearing at
the mains power lead).
Maintenace 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 Alto spare parts.
Do not make any technical modifi cations to the
high-pressure cleaner.
CAUTION!
High-pressure hoses, fi ttings and
couplings are important for the
safety of the cleaner. Use only
high-pressure parts approved by
the manufacturer!
CAUTION!
Failure to observe these instructions can endanger your safety.
Please contact the Alto service
department or an authorised
specialist work-shop for all other
maintenance or repair work!
Electrical equipment
Check the rated voltage of the
high-pressure cleaner before
connecting it to the mains power
supply. Ensure that the voltage
specifi ed on the rating plate
corresponds to the local mains
supply voltage.
Cleaners intended for commercial use must be equipped with
a mains power lead type H 07
RN-F by a qualifi ed electrician.
The mains power lead must not
differ from the version specifi ed
by the manufacturer and may
only be changed by an electrician.
If your 3-phase cleaner was supplied without a plug, have it fi tted
with a suitable 3-phase plug with
protective conductor contact by
an electrician.
The mains power lead must not
differ from that specifi ed by the
manufacturer.
We strongly recommend that the
power supply to the high-pressure cleaner be connected via a
residual-current circuit breaker
which interrupts the power supply
either if the leakage current to
earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms
or which contains an earth testing
circuit.
If an extension lead is used, please observe the minimum crosssection of the lead:
Lead length Cross
section
m mm
2
bis 20 1.5
20 bis 50 2.5
If an extension lead is used,
all live parts (plug, cable, plug
socket) must be located so that
the protection class „watertight“ is
ensured. This can also be achieved by protecting the lead.
CAUTION!
Unsuitable extension leads can
represent a source of danger.
CAUTION!
Never spray electrical equipment
with water:
Danger for persons, danger of
short-circuit!
The cleaner may only be connected to a correctly installed plug
socket.
Testing
The cleaner conforms to the
„Guidelines for Liquid Spray Jet
Devices“. The highpressure cleaner must be sub-
jected to a safety examination in
accordance with the
„Accident Prevention Regulations
for Working with Liquid Spray Jet
Devices“ as required, but at least
every 12 months, by an authorised inspector.
After all repairs or modifi cations
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.
Safety device
Unacceptably high pressure is
fed back without residual pressure via a bypass line into the
intake line of the pump when the
safety device is tripped. The safety device is set and sealed at the
factory and must not be adjusted.

3.1 Transport
3.2 Setting up the cleaner
The cleaner is easy to transport
thanks to its large wheels.
For safe transportation in and
on vehicles we recommend that
you use belts and the parking
brake to secure the cleaner so
that it cannot slip or fall over.
CAUTION!
Never lift the cleaner alone
(weight = 70 kg). Always ask a
second person to help.
If you transport the cleaner and
its accessories at or below 0(C,
we recommend the use of antifreeze as described in chapter
5.5.
1. Before using the cleaner
for the fi rst time, check it
carefully to detect any faults
or damage.
2. In the event of any damage
contact your Alto dealer
immediately.
3. Apply the brake.
4. Fold back the push handle
and lock it with the fastening
screws.
5. Check whether the oil level
is between the minimum and
maximum marks. If necessary, add oil (see chapter
28
9.3 for type of oil).
