NEPTUNE 2 Special
If the mains power lead is dam-
aged, to avoid hazards, this
must be replaced either by the
manufacturer or through his
customer service or a similarly
qualified person.
CAUTION!
Unsuitable extension leads can
represent a source of danger.
Always unwind lead from the
reels completely to prevent the
mains power lead overheating.
Connectors and couplings of
power supply cords and exten-
sion leads must be watertight.
When using an extension lead,
check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length
m Cross section
<16 A <25 A
up to 20 m ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm²
20 to 50 m ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm²
Check the rated voltage of the
high-pressure cleaner before
connecting it to the mains pow-
er supply. Ensure that the volt-
age shown on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage of
the local mains power supply.
It is important that the electrical
connection for this appliance
has been installed by an electri-
cian and in compliance with IEC
60364 and the country-specific
regulations.
We recommend that the electri-
cal connection to this appliance
should incorporate
– either a fault current circuit
breaker, which cuts off the
mains voltage if the fault
current exceeds 30 mA for
30 ms,
– or an earth resistance me-
ter.
Check that cleaning will not
result in dangerous substanc-
es (e.g. asbestos, oil) being
washed off the object to be
cleaned and harming the envi-
ronment.
Do not clean delicate parts
made of rubber, fabric, etc. with
the 0° jet. Keep some distance
between high pressure nozzle
and surface in order to prevent
the surface from damage.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.
The maximum permissible
working pressure and temper-
ature are printed on the high-
pressure hose.
Store the cleaner where
it will not be exposed to
frost or use anti-freeze
liquid!
Never operate the cleaner with-
out water. Even brief shortages
of water result in severe dam-
age to the pump seals.
Water connection
This high pressure
washer/cleaner is
only allowed to be
connected with the
drinking water-
mains, when an appropriate
backflow preventer has been
installed, Type BA according to
EN 1717. If the back flow pre-
venter hasn’t been supplied,
one can be ordered from your
dealer. The length of the hose
between the backflow preventer
and the high pressure washer
must be at least 6 metres (min
diameter 3/4 inch) to absorb
possible pressure peaks. Oper-
ation by suction (for example
from a rainwater vessel) is car-
ried out without backflow pre-
venter. Contact your dealer for
suction set recommendations.
As soon as water has flown
through the BA valve, this water
is not considered to be drinking
water any more.
Operation
Keep cabinet closed during op-
eration.
Do not damage the mains pow-
er lead (e.g. by driving over it,
pulling or crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug only (do not pull
or tug the power cord).
IMPORTANT!
This appliance has been de-
vised for use with cleansing
agents that are supplied and
recommended by the manufac-
turer. The use of other cleansing
agents or chemicals can impair
the safety of the appliance.
CAUTION!
The appliance is intended to be
used with heating oil EL or diesel
oil. Unsuitable fuels (e.g. petrol)
must not be used as they can
represent a source of danger.
If the machine is to be oper-
ated at fuel stations or in other
potentially hazardous areas, the
machine may only be employed
outside the hazard areas de-
fined in the German „Technical
Guidelines for Inflammable Flu-
ids“ applicable at the point of use
due to the potential explosion
hazard posed by the burner.
When setting up the appliance
indoors, always ensure suitable
ventilation and that the exhaust
gases are expelled in a suitable
way. We will be glad to provide
tips for connection systems, on
request.
If the machine is to be con-
nected to a flue gas stack, then
local building regulations must
be observed. We will be glad to
provide tips for connection sys-
tems, on request.
CAUTION!
Beware of hot water and
steam discharge up to
150°C when operating in
steam stage.
CAUTION!
Do not touch or cover the
exhaust. Risk of burns
and fire.
Do not touch, cover or place hose
or cord over the chimney. Danger
for persons, risk of overheating
and fire.
