IPC 2015Pi D, Instruction Manual

- 11 -

English

• Do not bend over or touch the inside of the exhaust opening when 

operating with hot water or steam (danger of burns).

• Do not lean any kind of material on the burner chimney.

WARNING

• Make sure that the pressure of the inflatable tyre does not 

exceded the MAX pressure indicated of the tyre itself. ( 1 bar 
= 14,1 PSI )

5 - INSTALLATION

5.1 Unpacking the appliance

•

 Contact immediately your dealer if, on unpacking the appliance, you 

discover that damage has been caused during transportation.

5.2 Checking the oil level of the high pressure pump.

•

 Before the initial start up, open the appliance hood and check the oil 

level in the pump (oil in the sight glass, should be at halfway level).

•

 Do not start the appliance if the oil level has dropped. Fill up the oil 

as required. (See technical data, chap. 1).

5.3 Descale liquid

•

 The descale liquid prevents the heating coil from becoming calcified 

when operating with hard water. The liquid softener is added in drops 

to the supply water in the water tank. The metering is set to an average 

value by the manufacturer. This setting may be adjusted to different 

local requirements only  by the maintenance service.

•

 Fill up the descale liquid bottle with an adequate descale liquid (See 

chapter 10)

5.4 Mounting the accessories

•

 Connect tightly the spray lance to the gun..

•

 Attach the high pressure nozzle to the spray lance.

•

 Tighten by hand the swivel joint on the high pressure hose attachment 

to the machine. Ensure that all the other lance assembly fittings are 

well tightened.

•

 If you connect just one lance, please ensure you connected it to the “1 

lance” fitting, and that the cock lever is in the direction of the lance itself.

5.5 Fuel

•

 The appliance is delivered with an empty fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank 

with fuel before initial start up.

ATTENTION

•

 If the fuel tank is empty, the fuel pump will run dry and it might be 

damaged.

•

 Unsuitable fuels must not be used, (e.g. petrol danger of explosion, 

biological by-products danger of obstruction)

•

 Fill up the fuel tank with proper fuel:

- diesel oil for diesel version

- petrol for petrol engine version

5.6 Connection to water supply 

•

 See technical data chap. 1 for inlet flow rate and pressure values.

•

 Connect the water suction hose to the inlet connector and check that 

the water is flowing to the machine in the proper quantity.

•

 Use a water supply flexible hose with a diameter of at least 1”

4 - IMPORTANT ADVICE

• Read all the instructions before using the machine.

• The machine must not be left unattended during operation.

• Ensure the machine is situated on firm ground.

• Do not switch on the unit, while the covers are open.

• Do not open the covers, while the unit is working.

• Always switch off the unit before disassembling any part, or effecting 

any servicing.

• ATTENTION!  Operation to be carried out by authorized personnel 

only. The machine is equipped with a shut-off system in case the engine 

cover is open. If the machine is to be started with the engine cover 

open, it is COMPULSORY to first remove the cooling fan in order to 

guarantee the safety of the persons.

• Avoid storing the unit in cold places where there is danger of freezing.

• Provide adequate ventilation when operating the appliance indoors 

(danger of poisoning). 

If the exhausts have to be conveyed outside by a chimney extension, 

it is compulsory to mount on the burner a special accessory (available 

on request).

• The appliance must not be installed in damp places or places with 

an aggressive atmosphere.

• Do not use the appliance in the rain or during thunderstorms.

• Ensure that the unit does not run for more than 5 minutes while the gun 

is closed. Should it run for a longer period, the temperature of the re-

cycling water will increase rapidly and it might damage the pump seals.

• The unit must not run without water. Lack of water will cause serious 

damage to the seals.

* The water jet coming from the high pressure nozzle causes the gun 

to recoil. Therefore grip the lance and gun firmly.

• Do not direct the water jet towards yourselves, other people, animals, 

the unit or electrical components.

• Do not use the water jet to clean clothes or shoes worn by yourselves 

or other people.

• 

ATTENTION!

 Do not use the machine when other people  are in the 

working area  unless they are wearing  suitable protective clothing.

• Never touch the water jet  (danger of injuries or burns).

• High pressure cleaners must not be operated by children, or unau

-

thorised personnel (danger of accidents caused by improper use). 

• Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned at a minimum distance 

of 30 cm, otherwise they might be damaged by the high pressure jet. 

First indication of damage is discoloration of the tyre. Damaged tyres 

may cause fatal accidents.

• Materials containing asbestos and other toxic substances must not 

be sprayed down.

• Suitable protective clothing should be worn to protect the operator 

from backsprays.

• Ensure that all connecting hoses are securely screwed on.

• The gun trigger must not be clamped when operating the unit.

• The exhaust opening must not be blocked.
