vent damage to the ma-
chine and its performance.
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

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
20 to 50 m
ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm²
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!
Testing
The cleaner conforms to the
German „Guidelines for Liquid
Spray Jet Devices“. The high-
POSEIDON 5
english
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.
This high-pressure cleaner has
been designed for professional
use in
– Agriculture
– industry
– transport industry
– automotive cleaning
– municipal facilities
– cleaning trade
– construction industry
– food industry
etc.
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.
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.
