POSEIDON 5 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 operating instructions and keep them within reach at all times. This indicates tips and instructions to simplify work and to ensure safe operation.
POSEIDON 5 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.

POSEIDON 5 5 Applications and methods 5.1 Techniques 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. 5.1.1 Soaking Encrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up by a period of soaking.
POSEIDON 5 5.2 Some typical cleaning tasks 5.2.1 Agriculture Task Stables Pig Pens, Sties Cleaning of walls, floors and equipment Disinfectant Accessories Chemical Foam Injectors Foam lance Powerspeed lance Floor Cleaner Detergents Universal Alkafoam Disinfectant DES 3000 Machinery Tractors ploughs etc. Method 1. Soaking – apply foam to all surfaces (bottom to top) and wait for approx. 30 minutes. 2. Remove the dirt from surfaces with the high pressure lance or chosen accessory.
POSEIDON 5 5.2.3 Buildings and Equipment Task Accessories Method General surfaces Foam injectors Standard lance Metallic equipment Curved lances Tank cleaning head 1. Apply thick foam over the surfaces to be cleaned. Apply on dry surfaces. Apply from top to bottom on vertical surfaces. Let the foam act for up to 30 minutes 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.
POSEIDON 5 6.3 Rolling up the electrical lead and storing accessories Risk of tripping! To prevent accidents, always carefully roll up the electrical lead. 1. Wind up the high pressure hose as illustrated. 2. Place the spray lance into the spray lance storage. 6.4 Storing the cleaner (below 0°C) 1.
POSEIDON 5 7.2 Maintenance work 7.2.1 Cleaning water inlet filter A water filter is fitted on the water inlet to prevent large particles of dirt from entering into the pump. 1. Unscrew the quick-release connection if mounted. 2. Remove the filter and rinse it. Replace damaged filter. Replace damaged filter. 7.2.2 Checking the pump oil level 1. Check the oil level by lifting off the cap. On level ground, the oil should be just visible. If necessary, add oil (see chapter 9.4 for type of oil). 7.2.
POSEIDON 5 8 Troubleshooting Fault Pressure drop Pressure fluctuations The motor does not start when the cleaner is switched on When the cleaner is switched on the motor buzzes without starting The motor switches off 14 Cause Remedy > Air in the system • Vent the system by operating the spray gun several times at short intervals. If necessary, operate the cleaner for a short time without the highpressure hose connected.
POSEIDON 5 Fault No detergents drawn in Cause Remedy > Injector is dirty or suction hose is blocked • Clean > Detergent tank empty • Top up detergent tank > The cap on the FlexoPowerJet nozzle is not set to low pressure • see chapter 4.6 9 Further information 9.1 Recycling the cleaner Make the old cleaner unusable immediately. 1. Unplug the cleaner and cut the power cord. Do not discard of electrical appliances with household waste.
