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.
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
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.
Safety instructions in these
operating instructions which
must be observed to prevent
risks to persons are marked with
this danger symbol.
Before starting up your highpressure washer for the first
time, this instruction manual
must be read through carefully.
Save the instructions for later
use.
This indicates tips and instructions to simplify work and to ensure safe operation.
This symbol is used to mark
safety instructions that must be
observed to prevent damage
to the machine and its performance.

CAUTION!
High-pressure water jets can be
dangerous if misused. The jet
must not be directed at persons,
animals, live electrical equip-
ment 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.
WARNING!
This machine has been designed for use with the cleaning
agent supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The
use of other cleaning agents or
chemicals may adversely affect
the safety of the machine.
Risk of explosion – Do not spray
flammable liquids.
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 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.
Switch off the cleaner after max.
3 minutes.
Water connection
This high pressure
washer is only allowed to be connected with the
drinking water mains, when an
appropriate backflow preventer
has been installed, Type BA according to EN 60335-2-79. The
backflow preventer can be ordered under number 10641117
7,106411178,106411179,1064
11184. The length of the hose
between the backflow preventer
and the high pressure washer
must be at least 12 metres (min
diameter 3/4 inch) to absorb
possible pressure peaks. Operation by suction (for example
from a rainwater vessel) is carried out without backflow preventer. Recommended suction
set: 61256. As soon as water
has flown through the BA valve,
this water is not considered to
be drinking water any more.
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.
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 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
Nilfisk-AL TO spare parts.
Do not make any technical modifications to the high-pressure
cleaner.
Ensure that the machine is regularly serviced by Authorised NilfiskALTO 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 Nilfisk-ALTO
service department or an authorised specialist work-shop for
all other maintenance or repair
work!
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 and this report must be saved.
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.
Unloader valve
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 unloader valve is set and
sealed at the factory and must
not be adjusted.
Safety devices
Thermal sensor:
A thermal sensor protects the
motor against overloading. The
machine will restart after a few
minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled.
Locking device on spray gun:
The spray gun features a locking device. When the pawl is
activated, the spray gun cannot
be ope rated.
Warning
• Inhalation of aerosols can
be hazardous to health.
• Where applicable use a
device in order to avoid or
reduce aerosols production,
e.g., a shield covering the
nozzle.
• For protection against aerosols use a respiratory mark
of class FFP 2 or higher.
