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“

5 Applications and methods

5.1 Techniques

5.1.1 Soaking

5.1.2 Detergent and Foam

5.1.3 Temperature

5.1.4 Mechanical Effect

5.1.5 High Water Flow or
High Pressure

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.

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 by using foam or simple alkaline detergent. Let the product
lie on the dirty surfaces for about 30 minutes before pressure washing.
The result will be a much quicker high pressure cleaning process.

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 automobile bodywork, in
order to avoid “super clean” areas, where the detergent may collect
in higher concentrations and streams downwards. Let the detergent
work for several minutes before rinsing before rinsing and never let
it dry on the surface being cleaned.

Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils
and fats can be broken down more effectively at higher temperatures
also. Proteins can be cleaned at temperatures of around 60°C (140°F).
Oils and traffic film around 70°C (158°F), and grease can be cleaned
at 80°-90°C (176-194°F).

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.

High pressure is not always the best solution and may also damage
surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water flow. Pres­sure levels of around 100 bar (1450 psi) may be sufficient for vehicle
cleaning (in association with hot water) and higher flow levels give
the ability to rinse and flush away large amounts of dirt easily.

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.

2. Always wear protective equipment during sandblast­ing.

3. Spray the surfaces to be treated with the mix of water
and sand. Rust, paint etc will be stripped off.

These are merely several examples of cleaning tasks that can be solved by a pressure washer in asso­ciation with accessories and detergents. Each cleaning task is different. Please consult your local dealer
or Nilfisk-Alto representative in order to discuss the best solution for your own cleaning tasks.
