Symbols used to mark
instructions
Safety instructions
in these operating
instructions which
must be observed
to prevent risks
to persons are marked with this
danger symbol.
Before using the
high-pressure
cleaner, be sure
to also read the
enclosed operat-
ing instructions
This symbol is used to
mark safety instruc-
tions that must be
observed to prevent
damage to the machine
and its performance.
and keep them within reach at
all times.
1 Important safety instructions
Use only detergents approved
by Nilfisk-Alto.
For your own safety
The high-pressure cleaner
should only be used by authorized persons who have been
instructed in its use.
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 recognized 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 preventing
the equipment from sliding and
tilting. Secure it with tie-downs
and apply the parking brake on
the castor wheel.
For transport at temperatures
around or below freezing 0°C
(32°F), anti-freeze should be
drawn into the pump beforehand
(see chapter 6).
Before starting the cleaner
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.
This indicates tips
and instructions
to simplify work
a n d to ensure safe opera-
tion.
Operations
marked with this
symbol should
only be carried
out by Nilfisk-
Alto Service
Technicians.
Use the high-pressure cleaner
only when the power cord is in
a safe condition. (risk of electric
shock using damaged cord!).
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
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
electricity if the leakage current
to the ground exceeds 30 mA for
30 ms or it has an ground tester
circuit.
Please observe the regulations
and provisions applicable in your
area. Before putting the highpressure 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 protection.
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
gunvalve and spray lance and,
when the spray lance is held at
an angle, a torque is also created.
The gunvalve and spray lancemust 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 temperature
are printed on the high-pressure
hose.
Do not use the cleaner if the
power cord or high-pressure
hose is damaged.
Ensure adequate air circulation.
Do not cover the cleaner or operate it in inadequately ventilated
rooms!
Store thecleaner 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
Keep cabinetand servicedoor
closed during operation.
Connect the machine directly to
a plug socket. Do not use extension cords.
Do not damage the power cord
(e.g. by driving over it, pulling or
crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug only (do not
pull or tug the power cord).
Electrical equipment
CAUTION!
Never spray electrical equipment with water: risk of electtrical shock and short-circuit.
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 powersupply before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work on the cleaner.
Carry out only the maintenance
operations described in the operating instructions. Use only
original Nilfisk-Alto spare parts.
Do not make any technical
modifications to the high-pressure cleaner.
Ensure that the machine is
regularly serviced by authorized
Nilfisk-Alto dealers in accordance
with the maintenace plan. Failure
to do so will void 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 power cord must not differ
from the version specified by the
manufacturer and may only be
changed by an electrician.
Please contact your local authorized Nilfisk-Alto equipment
distributor for all other maintenance or repair needs!
Testing
The cleaner conforms to the German „Guidelines for Liquid Spray
Jet Devices“. The high-pressure
cleaner must be subjected 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 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.
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.
2 Description
2.1 Purpose
Safety devices
Unloadar valve
Pump pressure is reduced by
means of an "unloader valve"
which returns water to the inlet
side of the pump at a minimum
pressure.
Safety temperature limiter
When exceeding max. permissible water temperature in the
boiler the heating is completely
switched off.
This high-pressure cleaner has
been designed for professional
use in
– Agriculture
– Industry
– Transport industry
– Automotive
– Municipal Facilities
– Janitorial
– Construction
– Food Industry
etc.
Level monitoring in the boiler
If the water level in the boiler
sinks under a certain level, the
equipment is switched off. The
boiler is protected against overheating. The pump is protected
against water shortage.
The safety devices are set and
sealed at the factory and must
not be adjusted.
Chapter 5 describes the use of
the high-pressure cleaner for
various cleaning jobs.
Always use the cleaner as
described in these operating
instructions. Any other use may
damage the cleaner or the surface to be cleaned or may result
in severe injury to persons.
