Storch 85 - Important Notes; Safety Instructions

45
Important notes:
The STORCH High Pressure Water Recovery •
System is designed only for wet vacuuming
and not for use with dry, dusty materials.
The maximum water temperature must not •
exceed 85°C.
Before starting work, always check if the im-•
mersion pump plug is plugged into the socket
on the suction basket.
The tension locks on the barrel must be tightly •
closed.
Always remove any clogging in the suction •
hose immediately. You will notice clogging
by the fact that the motor speed increases
notably, while the vacuum performance drops.
You must switch off the machine immediately.
When you nish work, always completely drain
and ush the suction hose.
Check the air lter regularly for signs of wear •
and tear, soiling and damage. A damage lter
impacts performance and can endanger the
safety of your machine.
Regularly check the vacuum ow interrupter to •
make sure that it is clean and moving freely;
check for signs of damage to the ball and seal
(ball seating).
Replace worn and damaged parts.•
If you observe these important notes, you will have a
reliable tool at hand. If you fail to observe these points,
your warranty will be voided in case of damage.
Safety instructions:
When working with the cleaning attachment never
allow the pressurized nozzles or the water jet to touch
your hands or any other part of your body.
The manual lever on the high pressure shut off valve
in the cleaning attachment must not be jammed in
open position.
When you interrupt or nish work, secure the manual
lever on the high pressure shut off valve against acci-
dental triggering (engage the safety lock).
Never point the cleaning attachment at persons; note
that the residual pressure after switching off the high
pressure cleaner could be sufcient to cause injury.
Never reach into the immediate vicinity of the high
pressure jet; keep a distance of at least 30 cm. If you
are not using the machine (e.g. during breaks), switch
off the High Pressure Water Recovery System and the
high pressure cleaner and release the pressure on the
cleaning attachment by removing the manual valve.
CAUTION:
Only clean or remove the rotating nozzle
inside the cleaning attachment when you
have detached the high pressure hose
from the cleaning attachment. Danger of
injury!
CAUTION
Heat:
When working with hot water, you must
wear suitable personal protection (e.g.
gloves, goggles, protective headgear for
overhead work).
Never clean the machine immediately after nishing
work. Remove the suction basket and allow the ma-
chine to cool down for approx. 15 minutes.
When working with hot water on scaffolding make
sure that no persons are on the lower levels of the
scaffolding to prevent danger of scalding.
CAUTION
Never use the machine
- in areas with a danger of explosion
or to vacuum explosive materials. This applies in par-
ticular to areas in which any machines deployed must
be B1 compliant.
- to vacuum dusts that are hazardous to health.
- to vacuum ammable liquids and acids.
- to vacuum oily or non-conductive liquids.
- to vacuum ignition sources.
- without a lter for vacuum cleaning.
CAUTION:
Electrical:
Never run over, crush or strain the power lead. Check
the power lead on the immersion pump and suction
unit regularly for signs of damage. If you detect any
damage, do not use the machine. When replacing
power or machine connecting leads, observe the
