Original Instructions
agents or chemicals may
adversely affect the safety of
the appliance.
To ensure the appliance
safety only use original spare
parts from the manufacturer
or approved by the manufac-
turer.
High pressure hoses, fi ttings
and couplings are important
for the safety of the appli-
ance. Only use hoses, fi ttings
and couplings recommended
by the manufacturer.
Do not use the appliance
if a supply cord or impor-
tant parts of appliance are
damaged, e.g. safety device ,
high pressure hose and trig-
ger gun.
Remove the plug from the
socket outlet during cleaning
or maintenance and when
replacing parts or converting
the machine to another func-
tion.
Appropriate ear protection
must be used.
Never use the machine in
an environment where there
could be a danger of explo-
sion. If any doubt arises,
please contact the local
authorities.
It is not allowed to clean
asbestos- containing surfaces
with high pressure.
Do not spray fl ammable
liquids.
Always switch off the mains
disconnecting switch when
leaving the machine unat-
tended.
This high pressure washer
must not be used at tempera-
tures below 0°C.
WARNING!
Inadequate extension cables
can be dangerous. If an exten-
sion cord is used, it shall be
suitable for outdoor use, and
the connection has to be kept
dry and off the ground. It is
recommended that this is ac-
complished by means of a ca-
ble reel which keeps the socket
at least 60 mm above the
ground. Cables on reels should
always be completely unwound
to prevent the cable from over-
heating.
Extension cables should com-
ply with the below-mentioned
requirements for length and
cable dimensions.
1.0 mm² max. 12.5 m
1.5 mm² max. 20 m
2.5 mm² max. 30 m
Only POSEIDON 2-17 X:
2.0 mm² máx. 12.5 m
2.5 mm² máx. 20 m
If the electric cable is
damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer
or his service agent or simi-
larly qualifi ed person in order
to avoid a hazard.
Mains power connection
The following should be ob-
served when connecting the
high pressure washer to the
electric installation:
Only connect the machine to
an installation with earth con-
nection.
The electric installation shall
be made by a certifi ed elec-
trician and comply with IEC
60364-1.
It is strongly recommended
that the electric supply to this
machine should include a re-
sidual current device (GFCI).
Water connection
Connection to the public mains
according to regulations.
Machine not suit-
able for connec-
tion to the potable
water mains.
This high pressure washer is
only allowed to be connected
with the drinking water mains,
when an appropriate backfl ow
preventer has been installed,
Type BA according to EN 1717.
The length of the hose between
the backfl ow preventer and the
high pressure washer must be
at least 10 metres to absorb
possible pressure peaks (min
diameter ½ inch).
Operation by suction (for
example from a rainwater ves-
sel) is carried out without back-
fl ow preventer.
As soon as water has fl own
through the BA valve, this water
is not considered to be drinking
water any more.
IMPORTANT! Only use wa-
ter without any impurities. If
there is a risk of silt, sand or
sediment in the inlet water (i.e.
from your own well), an addi-
tional fi lter should be mounted.
Safety devices
Locking device on spray handle
(7a) (see illustration at the end
of this manual):
The spray handle features a
locking device. When the button
is activated, the spray handle
cannot be ope rated.
Thermal sensor:
A thermal sensor protects the
motor against overloading. The
machine will restart after a few
minutes when the thermal sen-
sor has cooled.
Pressure safety device
An integrated hydraulic safety
valve protects the system from
excessive pressure.
