If petrol overflows, immediately clean any spilled fuel. The
combustion engine should only be started after the dirty
petrol surface has been cleaned. Any attempt at ignition
shall be avoided until the petrol vapors have volatilized (dry
with cloth).
If petrol has come into contact with the clothing, it must be
changed.
Keep petrol away from sparks, flames, heat sources or other
ignition sources. Do not smoke near petrol containers and
appliances with petrol on the tank, or during the fueling
process.
Carry the petrol high pressure washer only when the engine
is off. Before moving it, stop the engine and remove the cap
from the spark plug.
Always carry the equipment when the engine is cold and
without fuel on the tank.
When transporting the appliance, regional legislation in
force must be respected, in particular that concerning
cargo protection and object transport on loading surfaces.
Make sure that the appliance is only used by people who
are familiar with the instruction manual.
Check the leak tightness of the fuel system,
particularly visible parts such as tank, tank cap and
couplings. In the event of leakage or damage, do not start
the combustion engine. Have the petrol high pressure
washer repaired by an official dealer.
Before using the appliance, replace damaged and
used parts.
Check that all nuts and screws are properly tightened. It is
important to inspect regularly the equipment in order to
ensure safety issues and a good performance.
Before operating the high-pressure washer, check if the
spark plug is properly connected to the spark plug cap.
Make all adjustments and work necessary for the correct
assembly of the power tool. If you have any questions or
difficulties, contact your official dealer.
To ensure that you work with the appliance safely, you
should take into account a few precautions and procedures
before start-up:
▪ The washer's components and accessories are correctly
assembled;
▪ The safety devices are in perfect condition and function
properly; Never operate the petrol high pressure washer
if the safety devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or
worn out;
▪ The high-pressure hose, spray gun and couplings are in
perfect condition;
▪ The fuel tank, fuel line components and tank cap are in
perfect condition.
Observe the local regulations on the hours when it is
allowed to use tools with a combustion engine and the
permitted noise level.
Keep third parties away from the high-pressure
washer's area of operation. Never work while animals
or people, especially children, are in the danger zone.
The exhaust system reaches high temperatures that can
ignite some materials. Keep flammable materials away
from the appliance.
Keep the washer at least 1 m away from structures,
buildings and other equipment during operation. Do not fix
the machine to any structure.
Operate the washer with special care when spraying near
slopes, ditches and wells. Place the appliance on a firm,
level floor at a safe enough distance from these danger
zones.
In case of nausea, headaches, sight problems (eg.
reduced vision), hearing problems, dizziness and
reduced ability to concentrate, stop working immediately.
These symptoms may be caused by high exhaust gas
concentration.
The combustion engine releases poisonous gases as soon
as it starts running. These gases contain toxic carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas, as well as other
harmful substances. Inhalation of carbon monoxide can
cause loss of consciousness and can result in death. The
combustion engine may never be turned on inside confined
or poorly ventilated spaces.
