Especially check:
The insulation of the electric
cable should be faultless
and without any cracks. If the
electric cable is damaged, an
authorized Nilfi sk distributor
should replace it.
WARNING!
High pressure jets can be
dangerous. Never direct the
water jet at persons, pets,
live electrical equipment or
the machine itself.
Never try to clean clothes or
footwear on yourself or other
persons.
Hold the spray lance fi rmly
with both hands. The spray
lance is affected by a thrust
of up to 16.4 N during ope–
ration.
The operator and anyone in

and couplings are important
for the safety of the appliance. Only use hoses, fi ttings
and couplings recommended
by the manufacturer.
Do not use the appliance
if a supply cord or important parts of appliance are
damaged, e.g. safety device ,
high pressure hose and trigger gun.
Remove the plug from the
socket outlet during cleaning
or maintenance and when
replacing parts or converting
the machine to another function.
Appropriate ear protection
has to be used.
Never use the machine in
an environment where there

Do not spray fl ammable liq-
uids.
Always switch off the mains
disconnecting switch when
leaving the machine unattended.
This high pressure washer
must not be used at temperatures below 0°C.
WARNING!
Inadequate extension cables
can be dangerous. If an extension cable is used, it shall be
suitable for outdoor use, and
the connection has to be kept
dry and off the ground. It is recommended that this is accomplished by means of a cable
reel which keeps the socket at
least 60 mm above the ground.
Cables on extension lead
drums should always be completely unwound to prevent the
cable from overheating.
Extension cables must comply
with the below-mentioned requirements for length and cable
dimensions.
1.0 mm² max. 12.5 m
1.5 mm² max. 20 m
2.5 mm² max. 30 m
If the electric cable is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or his service agent or similarly qualifi ed person in order
to avoid a hazard.
Mains power connection
The following should be observed when connecting the
high pressure washer to the
electric installation:
Only connect the machine to
an installation with earth connection.
The electric installation shall
be made by a certifi ed electrician and comply with IEC
364.
It is recommended that the
electric supply to this appliance should include a
residual current device that
will interrupt the supply if the
leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms.
Water connection
Connection to the public mains
according to regulations.
Machine not suitable for connection to the potable
water mains
This high pressure washer is
only allowed to be connected
with the drinking water mains,
when an appropriate backfl ow
preventer has been installed,
Type BA according to EN
1717. The backfl ow preventer
can be ordered under number
106411177. The length of the
hose between the backfl ow
preventer and the high pres-
sure washer must be at least
10 metres to absorb possible
pressure peaks (min diameter
½ inch).
Operation by suction (for example from a rainwater vessel)
is carried out without backfl ow
preventer. Recommended suction set: 126411387.
As soon as water has fl own
through the BA valve, this water
is not considered to be drinking
water any more.
IMPORTANT! Only use water without any impurities. If
there is a risk of running sands
in the inlet water (i.e. from your
own well), an additional fi lter
should be mounted.
Safety devices
Locking device on spray gun
(7a) (see foldout at the end of
this manual):
The spray gun features a locking device. When the pawl is
activated, the spray gun cannot
be ope rated.
Thermal sensor:
A thermal sensor protects the
motor against overloading. The
machine will restart after a few
minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled.
Pressure safety device
An integrated hydraulic safety
valve protects the system from
excessive pressure.
