7.2 Starting up
7.2.1
Combustion engine
For starting up follow the instructions in the manual of
"use and maintenance" of the engine.
Warning: Follow carefully and scrupulously respect the
respective phases of pre-ignition, ignition, correct use
and off
7.2.2
Electrical connection
Mount the plug on the machine. Plug into the power
socket, making sure the main switch on the machine
and power line are both in the OFF position.
if the bulb "Voltage" turns on the machine is ready
Important: check that the power supply voltage and
frequency required by the machine correspond to those
of the power line (check the machine rating plate).
Important: the power socket must be protected by a
differential circuit-breaker in compliance with current
regulations and standards.
7.3 Start
Turn on the tap water. For the electric model switch on the
main switch and push "START"
For the combustion engine model just wait a short period
before switch off the machine with the engine idling.
8 Routine maintenance
IMPORTANT - During routine maintenance, cleaning
and extraordinary maintenance, personal protection
devices provided must be worn.
IMPORTANT - Failure to observe the following safety
rules may cause injury, death or damage to
equipment.
IMPORTANT - All maintenance and cleaning must be
performed with the machine off and the key taken out.
In the case of the internal combustion engine model,
the plug cable must be detached and the motor cold
to avoid burns and fire. Do not allow personnel not
involved in maintenance to approach the machine
Routine maintenance involves a series of simple operations to be
performed at regular intervals and according to the manufacturer's
instructions. The Manufacturer has reduced the number and
complexity of routine maintenance operations to enable them to be
performed by personnel without technical expertise or complex
equipment. It involves above all:
Also, for combustion engine model:
Connect the high
All cleaning operations must be performed with the machine
stationary and turned off.
When cleaning the machine or its components, the following
precautions must be observed:
Do not clean electrical equipment with water or other fluids. To
remove dust, use a clean brush or dry cloth only. Do not clean
plastic surfaces with alcohol, detergent or solvents. Dispose of
cleaning materials in respect of current legislation. Do not
dispose of the materials used or cleaning residues in the
environment. To clean, use water or compressed air and soft
cloths. IMPORTANT - During cleaning, personnel protection
devices must be worn
For all operations over and above normal routine maintenance,
contact an authorised repair workshop.
It should be noted that the warranty offered by the manufacturer is
invalidated if:
When ordering spare parts, specify the model and serial number of
the machine and the reference number of the component in the
spare parts book and quantity.
8.1 Safety rules for routine maintenance
•
Check the level of oil in the pump by means of the
indicator on the pump itself.
•
Clean the connectors and grease the connector gaskets
•
Check the level of oil in the motor, gearbox and the
condition of the filters (as in the "operation and
maintenance" manual of the motor)
IMPORTANT - When replacing oil, it must be disposed
of in respect of current legislation. Under no
circumstances may it be disposed of in the
environment.
8.2 Safety regulations for cleaning the
machine
8.3 Safety regulations for repairs and
extraordinary maintenance
All operations must be performed by qualified
personnel with the necessary technical skills to
perform the operations in the maximum safety and in
respect of current legislation.
•
The instructions given in the "use and maintenance"
manual are not scrupulously respected,
•
Routine maintenance is not performed as and when
indicated;
•
Lubricants other than those specified are used;
•
Repairs or maintenance are performed by unqualified
personnel;
•
Non-original spare parts are used;
•
Unsuitable tools are used.
IMPORTANT - The customer is responsible for
verifying that original parts only are used when
carrying out repairs. The use of non-original spare
parts could jeopardise the safety of the machine.
