High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if improperly used.
The jet must not be directed at
persons, animals, live electri-
cal equipment or at the appli-
ance itself.
Please follow the safety instructions which are attached to
the used detergents (normally on the packing label).
For operating this unit in Germany, the "Guidelines for Fluid
Sprays" published by the Hauptverband der gewerblichen
Berufsgenossenschaft (Association of Trade and Vocational
Co-operatives) is applicable (the same can be obtained from
Carl Heymanns Verlag, Köln, www.heymanns.com).
The accident prevention regulation (BGR 500) "Work with liq-
uid rays" is valid. High pressure spraying units must be
checked every 12 months in accordance with these guide-
lines by an expert and the result of this check must be written
down.
The continuous heater is a heating system. Heating systems
must annually be inspected by the district chimney cleaning
inspectors to check conformance to the emission values (reg-
ulations for implementation of the Federal Emission Law).
If the plant is operated in rooms, then there should be ade-
quate measures for safely diverting the exhaust gases out of
the room (smoke gas pipes without draught interceptors).
Further, there must also be adequate supply of fresh air.
