Original instructions
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 work-
ing pressure and temperature
are printed on the high-pressure
hose.
Do not continue to use the
cleaner if the mains power lead
or high-pressure hose is dam-
aged.
Ensure adequate air circulation.
Do not cover the cleaner or op-
erate it in inadequately ventilat-
ed rooms!
Never operate the cleaner with-
out water. Even brief shortages
of water result in severe damage
to the pump seals.
Control / 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-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length
m
Cross section
<16 A <25 A
up to 20 m ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm²
20 to 50 m ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm²
Do not damage the mains power
lead (e.g. by driving over it, pull-
ing or crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug only (do not pull
or tug the power cord).
CAUTION!
Never spray electrical equipment
with water: danger for persons,
risk of short-circuiting.
The cleaner may only be con-
nected 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 Ω. If in doubt ask your local
electricity supplier.
Storing the cleaner (below
0° C)
Store the cleaner where it will
not be exposed to frost!
If the high-pressure cleaner is
stored in a room with tempera-
tures around or below 0° C, anti-
freeze should be drawn into the
pump beforehand:
Maintenance and repair
The oil filling is permanent and
rated for the full service life of
the machine.
To achieve a long life and avoid
problems with dirt in the gun, the
coupling and nipple have to be
kept clean.
The nipple on the lance has to
be handled with care to prevent
leaks.
CAUTION!
Always remove the plug from the
mains plug socket before clean-
ing or carrying out maintenance
work on the cleaner.
Carry out only the maintenance
operations described in the op-
erating instructions. Use only
original Nilfisk-Alto spare parts.
Do not make any technical mod-
ifications to the high-pressure
cleaner.
Ensure that the machine is
regularly serviced by Authorised
Nilfisk-Alto dealers in accordance
with the maintenance 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 ap-
proved by the manufacturer!
The mains power lead must not
differ from the version specified
by the manufacturer and may
only be changed by an electri-
cian.
Please contact the Nilfisk-Alto
service department or an au-
thorised 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 sub-
jected to a safety examination
in accordance with the „Acci-
dent Prevention Regulations for
Working with Liquid Spray Jet
Devices (BGV A3)“ as required,
but at least every 12 months, by
an authorised inspector.
After all repairs or modifica-
tions to electrical equipment,
the protective conductor resist-
ance, the insulation resistance
and the leakage current must
be measured. Furthermore, a
visual inspection of the mains
power lead, a voltage and cur-
rent measurement and a func-
tion test must be carried out. Our
after-sales service technicians
are at your disposal as author-
ised inspectors.
The complete „Accident Preven-
tion Regulations for Working
with Liquid Spray Jet Devices“
are available from the Carl Hey-
manns Verlag KG, Luxemburger
Strasse 449, 50939 Cologne or
from the appropriate associa-
tion of employers’ liability insur-
ances.
