Important safety instructions

For your own safety

Before using the high-pressure
cleaner, be sure to also read the
enclosed operating instructions
and keep them within reach at
all times.

The high-pressure cleaner may
only be used by persons instruct-
ed in its use and who have been
expressly authorised to do so.

Although extremely easy to op-
erate, children should not be al-
lowed to use the cleaner.

General

Use of the high-pressure cleaner
is subject to the applicable local
regulations.

Besides the operating instruc-
tions and the binding accident
prevention regulations valid in
the country of use, observe rec-
ognised regulations for safety
and proper use.

Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Transport

Transport of the high-pressure
cleaner is easy on its large
wheels.

For safe transport in and on ve-
hicles we recommend to prevent
the equipment from sliding and
tilting by fixing it with belts.

Transport (when tilted):
– do not tilt the machine on the

front with the water connec-
tions.

Before starting the cleaner

Before using the cleaner for the
first time, check it carefully to de-

tect any faults or damage.
In the event of any damage con-
tact your Gerni dealer immedi-
ately.

If your 3-phase cleaner was sup-
plied without a plug, have it fitted
with a suitable 3-phase plug with
earth conductor, by an electri-
cian.

CAUTION!

Before connecting devices with
voltage changeover: Check that
the pre-selected voltage on the
machine corresponds with the
voltage of the electrical instal-
lation. Otherwise the electrical
devices of the machine can be
destroyed.

Do not connect the cleaner-
directly to the public drinking-
water mains. A connection is
permitted,however:
– briefly to a pipe interrupter-

with moving section

– with a free outlet
In the case of poor water quality
(sand, etc.), we recommend that
a fine water filter is fitted in the
water inlet.

We recommend the use of a tex-
tile-reinforced water hose with
a nominal diameter of min. 3/4"
(19 mm).Before use, check that
the high-pressure cleaner is safe
and in proper condition.

Regularly check whether the
power cord is damaged or shows
signs of ageing.

Use the high-pressure cleaner
only when the mains power lead
is in a safe condition. (risk of
electric shock if damaged!).

Check the rated voltage of the
high-pressure cleaner before
connecting it to the mains power
supply. Ensure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate corre-
sponds to the voltage of the local
mains power supply.

We strongly recommend that the
power supply to the high pres-

sure cleaner be connected via a
residual current circuit breaker.

This device stops the supply
of electricity if the leakage cur-
rent to earth exceeds 30 mA for
30 ms or it has an earth tester
circuit.

Operate the cleaner only in an
upright position!

Please observe the regulations
and provisions applicable in your
country. Before putting the high-
pressure cleaner into service,
carry out a visual check of all the
major components.

CAUTION!

High-pressure water jets can be
dangerous if misused. The jet
must not be directed at persons,
animals, live electrical equip-
ment or the cleaner itself.

Wear appropriate protective
clothing and eye protectors.

Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other per-
sons in order to clean clothes or
footwear.

During operation of the cleaner,
recoil forces are produced at the
spraying device and, when the
spray lance is held at an angle,
a torque is also created. The
spraying device must therefore
be held firmly in both hands.

Do not use the cleaner when
other people without protective
clothing are in the working area.

Check that cleaning will not re-
sult in dangerous substances
(e.g. asbestos, oil) being washed
off the object to be cleaned and
harming the environment.

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.

POSEIDON 3

english

Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.

NOTE!

The maximum permissible work-
ing pressure and temperature
are printed on the high-pressure
hose.

Do not continue to use the
cleaner if the mains power lead
or high-pressure hose is dam-
aged.

Ensure adequate air circulation.
Do not cover the cleaner or op-
erate it in inadequately ventilat-
ed rooms!

Never operate the cleaner with-
out water. Even brief shortages
of water result in severe damage
to the pump seals.

Control / Operation

CAUTION!

Unsuitable extension leads can
represent a source of danger.
Always unwind cord from the
reels completely to prevent the
power cord overheating.

Plugs and connectors of mains
power leads must be at least
splash water-proof.

When using an extension cord,
check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:

Cable length

Cross section

<16 A

<25 A

up to 20 m

ø1.5mm²

ø2.5mm²

20 to 50 m

ø2.5mm²

ø4.0mm²

Do not damage the mains power
lead (e.g. by driving over it, pull-
ing or crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug only (do not pull
or tug the power cord).

CAUTION!

Never spray electrical equipment
with water: danger for persons,
risk of short-circuiting.

The cleaner may only be con-
nected to a correctly installed
plug socket.

Switching on the cleaner may
cause voltage fluctuations.
Voltage fluctuations should not
occur if the impedance at the
transfer point is less than 0.15

If in doubt ask your local elec-
tricity supplier.

Storing the cleaner (below
0°C)

Store the cleaner where it will
not be exposed to frost!

If the high-pressure cleaner is
stored in a room with tempera-
tures around or below 0°C, anti-
freeze should be drawn into the
pump beforehand:

Maintenance and repair

CAUTION!

Always remove the plug from the
mains plug socket before clean-
ing or carrying out maintenance
work on the cleaner.

Carry out only the maintenance
operations described in the op-
erating instructions. Use only
original Gerni spare parts.
Do not make any technical mod-
ifications to the high-pressure
cleaner.

Ensure that the machine is
regularly serviced by Authorised
Gerni dealers in accordance
with the maintenace 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 parts ap-
proved by the manufacturer!

The mains power lead must not
differ from the version specified
by the manufacturer and may
only be changed by an electri-
cian.

Please contact the Gerni serv-
ice department or an authorised
specialist work-shop for all other
maintenance or repair work!

Testing

The cleaner conforms to the
German „Guidelines for Liquid
Spray Jet Devices“. The high-
pressure cleaner must be sub-
jected to a safety examination
in accordance with the „Acci-
dent Prevention Regulations for
Working with Liquid Spray Jet
Devices (BGV A3)“ as required,
but at least every 12 months, by
an authorised inspector.

After all repairs or modifica-
tions to electrical equipment,
the protective conductor resist-
ance, the insulation resistance
and the leakage current must
be measured. Furthermore, a
visual inspection of the mains
power lead, a voltage and cur-
rent measurement and a func-
tion test must be carried out. Our
after-sales service technicians
are at your disposal as author-
ised inspectors.

The complete „Accident Preven-
tion Regulations for Working
with Liquid Spray Jet Devices“
are available from the Carl Hey-
manns Verlag KG, Luxemburger
Strasse 449, 50939 Cologne or
from the appropriate associa-
tion of employers’ liability insur-
ances.

Unloader 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 unloader valve is set and
sealed at the factory and must
not be adjusted.
