Safety regulations
ENGLISH 6
1.6 Preparation for starting
Check the complete machine for operational safety.
• The stop button should function properly.
• The throttle lever has to move easily and smoothly.
• Check the chemical tank, pump, fuel tank and all hoses and pipes for chemicals and fuel for possible leakage.
• Ensure the spark plug cap and the ignition cable are connected firmly. A loose connection may cause a spark
which can ignite any existing fuel-air mixture - fire hazard!
• Should the check reveal any irregularities or recognizable damage (also to the frame), incorrect adjustments or
reduced efficiency of the machine, do not commence work. Take the motorized high pressure sprayer to a
specialized workshop and have it checked.
1.7 Starting
• Start the machine no less than 3 metres from the refuelling location. Never start the machine in an enclosed
area.
• Ensure secure, firm footing for starting.
• Only one person is allowed to operate the motorized high pressure sprayer. No other person should be within 5
meters when the machine is started or operated.
• The trigger handle on the spray wand should be closed during the starting process. Ensure the spray wand is
directed away from persons and objects.
• Continue with the starting procedure as described in section 8. "Starting engine / Stopping engine".
1.8 Working with the machine
While running, the engine produces toxic exhaust gas which is odourless and invisible. Never start or operate
the machine in closed rooms. Ensure for adequate ventilation in confined areas such as ditches or dips.
Remain within calling distance to other persons who would be able to provide assistance if needed. Provide
for regular and in-time rest periods.
Do not smoke in the vicinity of the machine or at the work site. Smoking increases the danger of fire!
• Operate the machine with as little noise and exhaust gas emission as possible - only run the engine when
necessary. Consider that noise is an environmental hazard. Respect and observe any quiet periods which may
vary locally.
• Do not touch the muffler and exhaust while still hot. Danger of burns!
• Never operate the machine without a muffler or with a damaged muffler. Danger of burns and loss of hearing!
• The machine should be stopped when not in use and secured to prevent danger of injury to others.
1.9 Maintenance and repairs
The machine has to be maintained regularly. Only do those maintenance jobs and repairs yourself which are
described in this manual. All other jobs should be done by a specialized service centre.
• Do not maintain, repair or store the machine in the vicinity of an open flame.
• Always stop the engine before attempting any cleaning, repair or maintenance jobs. An exception is the
adjustment of the carburettor or idling speed.
• Only remove the pressure hose (14), the trigger handle (15), the spray wand (17) and the nozzle insert (18) when
the engine has been switched OFF and the system is fully depressurised. To achieve this, with the engine
switched OFF, insert the spray wand (17) into the liquid tank or into a container suitable for the liquid
concerned, and operate the trigger handle (15).
• For any repairs only use original parts from the manufacturer.
• Do not modify, alter or change the machine as this may impact on the safety of and with the machine and lead
to accidents and injury!
