• Do not point the jet towards oneself or other people in order to clean off clothing or foot-
wear.
• To protect the environment, vehicle engines and machinery with oil-pressure circuits must only
be cleaned in areas with a suitable oil trap.
• Vehicle tyres must be cleaned at a distance of at least 50 cm/19 in to safeguard them from being
damaged by the high-pressure jet. The first evidence of damage to a tyre is a change in colour.
• Do not point the high-pressure jet towards materials, which contain asbestos or other harmful
substances.
• Pay special attention to the instructions in the section on «Installation».
• Turn off the tractor's engine, remove the ignition key, press the lever (24) on the cleaner gun
to eliminate any remaining pressure and lock the safety catch (25) (Fig. 2 - position S):
- before leaving the high power cleaner unattended, even for only a short time;
- after use;
In addition, wait until the high pressure cleaner has completely cooled down before cleaning
or maintenance.
• During use, do not lock the lever (24) on the cleaner gun in the open position.
• When the high pressure cleaner is used in enclosed spaces, make sure that there is adequate
ventilation.
• Never alter the high pressure cleaner's original conditions in any way; in particular, do not
alter the assembly of the pump, chassis, safety devices or hydraulic connections.
• Do not neutralise or tamper with controls, safety devices or the pressure limiting/adjustment
valve.
• The operating pressure and the speed of rotation of the power take off must never exceed the
maximum ratings for the high pressure cleaner (also refer to the «Features and Technical
Specifications» section.
• Before starting work, make sure the cardan drive is secured correctly to the tractor and the
high pressure cleaner.
• Do not stand on the cardan shaft or the high pressure cleaner.

• Follow the instructions given in the «Stopping Operation» section before handling or trans-
porting the high pressure cleaner.
• The high pressure cleaner was not designed to be transported by road along with the trac-
tor.
• The supports (18) are only suitable for accommodating the accessories (delivery hose, cleaner
gun, lance hose, suction hose) during storage: do not use them during transport with the trac-
tor in order to prevent the possibility of them coming off their hooks due to impact or bumps
and consequently the risk of damage and/or injury to people and animals in the vicinity.
• Whenever necessary, only lift the high pressure cleaner using the appropriate harness/hook
at the point shown on the warning label with the black hook on a yellow background.
• When you need to transport the high pressure cleaner, remember to anchor it firmly to the
vehicle (using cables or similar systems).
