2   Safety instructions. For your own safety

WARNING! 

The high pressure washer may only be used by persons instructed in its 

use and who have been expressly authorised to do so 
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental 
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or 
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety 
• Machines shall not be used or maintained by children. Children should be supervised to en-
sure they do not play with the appliance 
• Use of this machine is subject to the applicable local safety regulations and proper use. 
Please refer to Opera ting Instructions for recommended use, maintenance and problem solving 
• Never spray electrical equipment with water: danger for persons, risk of short-circuiting 

150°C

• Never detach the high pressure hose while the machine is in operation. 

HOT WATER: Danger of scalding!

 Never dismount high-pressure hoses at water tempera-

tures above 50°C.
• High temperature on the lance and hose after hot water use. 

150°C

 IMPORTANT:

 Prior to dismounting of the high-pressure hose, the machine should be 

cooled down. After cooling down, stop the machine and close the shut-off cock. Then activate 
the trigger of the spray handle to relieve the high-pressure hose of pressure. 
• Beware of hot water and steam discharge up to 150°C when operating in steam stage. 
• After use of the hot water/steam function the high-pressure cleaner must be flushed with cold 
water for about 1 min. High temperature on the lance and hose after hot water use.

3  

Before starting the cleaner DO READ INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  BEFORE USE!

 Before use, check that the machine is safe and in proper condition and in upright posi-

tion on a plain and stable ground to ensure stability. Regularly check whether the power cord is 
damaged or shows signs of ageing. 

WARNING! 

Do not use the machine if a supply cord or important parts of the ma-

chine are damaged, e.g. safety devices, high pressure hoses , spray handle or lance 
• Check the rated voltage of the machine before connecting it to the mains power supply. En-
sure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains 
power supply. 
• For safety reasons, hoses, spray lances and other accessories should always be thawed prior 
to use. MIN: 2°C/ 36°F.

NOTE:

 If your 3-phase cleaner was supplied without a plug, have it fitted with a suitable 

3-phase plug with earth conductor. 

 

  

 

 

WARNING! 

Before use of water jet, assure that the high pressure hose 

with the spray  handle is safely connected by an audible click to the lance 
• High-pressure water jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must not be directed at per-
sons, animals, live electrical equipment or the cleaner itself 
• Do not direct the jet towards yourself or towards other persons in order to clean clothes or 
footwear 
• Do not use the cleaner when other people without appropriate protective clothing are in the 
working area. Wear appropriate protective clothing, safety gloves, boots, hearing aids and hel-
mets with visor and eye protection 
• When operating the spray  handle, kickback forces are produced at the spraying device and 
when the spray lance is held at an angle, a torque is also created. The spray handle and spray 
lance must therefore be held firmly with both hands 
• Check that cleaning will not result in dangerous substances (e.g. asbestos, oil) being washed 
off the object to be cleaned and harming the environment 
• During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be 
hazardous to health. The employer shall perform a risk assessment in order to specify the nec-
essary protective measures regarding aerosols, depending on the surface to be cleaned and its 
environment. Respiratory masks of class FFP 2, an equivalent or higher are suitable for the 
protection against hydrous aerosols.

• This machine has been designed for use with the cleaning agent supplied or recommended 
by the manufacturer. The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may adversely affect the 
safety of the machine 

 Risk of explosion – 

Do not spray flammable liquids. Do not clean delicate parts made of rub-

ber, fabric, etc. with the jet nozzle. Keep some distance between the jet nozzle and surface in 
order to prevent the surface from damage 

Combustion engine powered machines:

 Do not use combustion engine powered machines 

indoors unless adequate ventilation is assessed by national labour authorities.
• Ensure that any exhaust emissions are not in the vicinity of air intakes
• Incorrect fuels shall not be used as they may prove hazardous.
• Do not operate belt-driven units without attached belt cover 
• The machine must not be used in flammable or explosive environments. When using the ma-
chine, it must stand at least 1 m from buildings, etc.

4   Transport 

For safe transport in and on vehicles we recommend to prevent the equipment from sliding and 
tilting by fixing it with belts. For transport and storage at temperatures around or below 0°C, 
anti-freeze should be drawn into the pump beforehand (Please refer to Operating Instructions).

5   Water connection

 If the machine don´t have a watertank, the machine is only allowed to be connected 

with the potable water mains, when an appropriate backflow preventer has been installed, Type 
BA, according to EN 60335-2-79. The backflow preventer can be ordered thought Gerni Ser-
vicecenter. The length of the hose between the backflow preventer and the machine must be at 
least 12 meters (min diameter 3/4 inch) to absorb possible pressure peaks. Operation by suc-
tion (for example from a rainwater vessel) is carried out without backflow preventer. The suction 
set can be ordered thought Gerni Servicecenter. 

WARNING! 

Water that has flowed through backflow preventer and high pressure washer 

is considered to be non-potable.

6   Electrical connection

The connection of the electrical supply must be performed by an qualified electrician 

and comply with IEC 60364-1. The earth wire must be connected to correct potential and it  is 
recommended that the electric supply to this machine should include either a residual current 
device or another device that will protect the user against indirect contact. The electrical instal-
lation to the machine must be according to local regulations.

WARNING! 

Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous. If an extension cord is used, it 

shall be suitable for outdoor use, and the connection plug has to be kept dry and off the ground. 
It is recommended that this is accomplished by means of a cord reel, which keeps the socket at 
least 60mm above the ground. Always unwind cord from the reels completely to prevent the 
power cord overheating. Disconnect the power cord from the power source by pulling the plug 
only (do not pull or tug the power cord).

7   Safety devices

• 

Thermal sensor: 

A thermal sensor protects the motor against overloading. The machine will 

restart after a few minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled. 
• 

Locking device on spray handle: 

The spray handle features a locking device. When the 

pawl is activated, the spray handle cannot be operated.

HOT WATER:

 • 

Safety valve:

 Unacceptably high pressure is fed back without residual pres-

sure via a bypass line into the intake line of the pump when the safety device is tripped. The 
safety valve is set and sealed at the factory and must not be adjusted.

• EXH thermal sensor:

  A thermal is mounted in the exhaust pipe, if the temperature exceeds 

a pre-set temperature value, the heat function stops and a manual reset is needed. 

8   Maintenance and repair

WARNING! 

Always switch off the mains disconnecting switch when leaving the machine 

unattended 
• Always remove the plug from the mains plug socket before carrying out maintenance work or 
cleaning of the machine. 

Combustion engine powered machines: NOTE! 

Before cleaning and maintenance of the 

high pressure washer, always remove the spark plug cable.

Carry out only the maintenance operations described in the operating instructions. To ensure 
machine safety, use only original Gerni spare parts. Do not make any technical modifications 
to the high-pressure washer. Ensure that the machine is regularly serviced by authorized Gerni 
dealers in accordance with the maintenance plan. Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.

CAUTION! 

High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the 

cleaner. Use only high-pressure spare parts approved by Gerni! 
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or 
similarly qualified persons to prevent hazards.
