It is recommended that the electrical supply to this unit should

include either a residual current device that will interrupt the

supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30mA for 30 ms or

a device that will prove the earth circuit.

Switching on the unit may cause voltage fluctuations. Voltage

fluctuations should not occur if the impedance of the transfer point

is less than 0.15Ω. If in doubt contact your power supplier.

This Class 1 Appliance must only be connected to an earthed

power supply fitted with an appropriately sized fuse.

3. POWER CORD

Make sure before every use that the power cord assembly is not

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

30mA

4. EXTENSION CORD

If using an extension cord make sure it is according to cross section / maximum length

requirements as shown to the right.

Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous. If an extension cord

is used, it shall be suitable for outdoor use, and the connection has

to be kept dry and off ground. It is recommended that this is

accomplished by means of a cord reel which keeps the socket at

least 60mm above the ground.

Make sure the extension cord is fully

unrolled, kept dry, away from traffic,

sharp edges and heat to avoid damage

or cuts.

If using an extension cord make sure it

is not connected to mains voltage when

connecting / disconnecting to the unit's

power cord.

5. TRIP HAZARD

Loose extension cords and power cables provide a potential trip

hazard, especially when they cross pathways.

Take safety measures like placing traffic cones along the cord or

tape the cord to the floor with duct tape.

6. FIRE PREVENTION AND HOT SURFACE CAUTION

Store flammable fluids in approved containers and cabinets away

from sparks and heat.

To avoidfire, be alertfor leaksof flammable substancesfrom hoses

and lines.

not expose dry grass, mowed grass, oil or any other combustible

material to exhaust gas. Be cautious, to avoid burns.

Be sure to stop the unit before cleaning the unit.

Under NO circumstance use flammable liquids, undiluted acids or

solvents as a chemical as the spray produced would be highly

flammable.

7. EXHAUST & FLUE GASES

Unit exhaust fumes can be very harmful if allowed to accumulate.

Be sure to run the unit in a well ventailed loaction and where there

are no people or live stock near the unit.

Ensure that any exhaust emissions are not in the vicinity of air

intakes.

8. SAFE HANDLING OF FUEL AND LUBRICANTS

Always turn off the unit and let the unit cool down before refueling

and/or lubricating.

section.

All health and safety regulations applicable to general safe work practices, as well as safe operation of

equipment, as well as any specific standard for safe operation of high pressure cleaners according to local

regulations must be followed. When operating this unit,

1. PERSONAL SAFETY

Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn when

operating this unit including footwear, clothing, eyewear and

all other necessary equipment according to regulations and

requirements.

Always wear appropriate ear protection if the noise level

indicated in the technical data of this appliance exceeds

80dB (A).

When operating the unit be alert and hold onto the gun and

lance firmly with both hands.

When the gun is operated, the user is subject to very strong

recoil forces and torque.

There is a risk of high pressure water jet injury. Never aim

the jet at yourself, other people or animals as this could

result in serious injuries or even death.

There is a risk of electrocution. Never aim the water jet at the

unit itself or other live electrical equipment as this could

result in serious injury or even death.

Depending on the application of high pressure cleaners,

hydrous aerosols may be formed. The employer shall

perform a risk assessment in order to specify the necessary

protective measures regarding aerosols, depending on the

surface to be cleaned and its environment. Shielded nozzles

can be used for high pressure cleaning, which will reduce

the emission of hydrous aerosols dramatically OR

respiratory masks of class FFP 2, an equivalent or

higher are suitable for the protection against hydrous

aerosols.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2. WORK ZONE SAFETY

The work zone must be kept clear of all persons not authorized to be there. If other people must

be in the work area they too must wear all necessary personal protective equipment and must be

aware of the existing hazards / risks.

This unit must not be operated in hazardous areas. Also to prevent fire hazards it must not be

operated near inflammables such as petrol, grain dust, solvents, thinners etc.

When operating the unit make sure the operating area is not releasing health or environmental

hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos, oil etc)

3. EQUIPMENT SAFETY

Never exceed the maximum working temperature and pressure as indicated on the unit data plate

and in this manual.

Only use this unit with cleaning chemicals recommended by Spitwater. The use of other cleaning

agents or chemicals may adversely affect the safety of the unit.

Never operate the unit without water as even a brief operation without it will cause severe damage

to the pump and other components.

When finishing work, switch OFF the unit and release any trapped pressure in the hose and

engage the gun trigger lock.

Never leave the unit unattended while it is running.

Never lock the spray gun trigger in the open position.

Never use accessories or spare parts that were not designed for use with this unit as this could

cause damage to the unit. Spitwater recommends the use of original accessories and spare parts

available through Spitwater and its extensive dealer network.

Never use a nozzle size other than that specified in the technical data. Using the wrong size

nozzle could damage the unit.

Keep flammable materials away from, and do not place anything on the unit while it is running.

Pressure regulating valve: This unit is equipped with a pressure regulating valve which prevents damage to

the unit by keeping the system pressure safely below a desired limit. When the system pressure exceed the

setting of the valve spring, the fluid unseats the valves and bypasses to the reservoir.

Pressure switch: This unit is also equipped with a pressure switch which prevents the operation of the burner,

if adequate water pressure is not detected at pump. Keeping the burner off when there is no water flow will

eliminate the potential risk of steam generation and explosion. Also it turns on the timer function of the unit.

Safety valve: This acts as a fail-safe system. When the system pressure exceeds the set value, the valve

opens proportionally with increase in pressure and release the excess pressure out and resets back.

SAFETY FEATURES OF THE UNIT

In case of EQUIPMENT FAILURE / BREAKDOWN turn the unit OFF and see “SERVICE / CARE

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DIY TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE” section.
