– The interior cleaner BC 14/12 is a spray
unit to clean DIN standard containers
as well as other containers and drums,

container through an opening with a
suitable minimum inner diameter.

volume regulation (servo control) can-
2
not be used.

Please do not let mineral oil contaminated
waste water reach soil, water or the sew-
age system.
Function
– The interior cleaner consists of a drive
unit, a support pipe, the cleaning head
and the suction pipe. The nozzles on
the cleaning head turn around two axles
and therefore touch every place in the
container. The water that has accumu-
lated in the container is suctioned off via
the suction pipe.
– The cleaning head is turned by an elec-
tric motor. The speed is therefore con-
stant and independent of the pressure
and the volume of cleaning liquid.
– There is an adjustable container hole
cone on the support pipe, which is in-
stalled on the container opening.
EN
– Please follow the national rules and
regulations of the respective country.
– Please follow the safety instructions
which are attached to the used deter-
gents (normally on the packing label).
– In order to avoid improper operation,
the system may only be used by per-
sons who have been instructed in han-
dling the system or have proven qualifi-
cation and expertise in operating the
system or have been explicitly assigned
the task of handling the system.
– The operating instructions must be ac-
cessible for every user.
– The used high-pressure pump must be
equipped with the safety systems de-
fined by their respective CE mark.
Wrong operation or misuse are hazardous
to the operator and other persons on ac-
count of:
– high pressure
– high electrical voltage
– Cleaning agents or used cleaning liquid
DANGER
– Danger of crushing by the interior
cleaner. Only use the interior cleaner's
drive in closed containers.
– Danger of injury by high pressure jet -
therefore only use interior cleaner in-
side closed containers.
– Health hazards posed by residue in
containers that are cleaned or by the
cleaning liquid used. Therefore, the list-
ed protective measures must be ad-
hered to.
– Risk of injury due to interior cleaner top-
pling over at low submerge depth. In
this case, the interior cleaner must be
supported.
– Risk of injury by toppling container -
therefore use extra support for contain-
er and interior cleaner.
WARNING
In order to avoid damage to the cleaning
head, ensure a free layout inside the con-
tainer. The cleaning head must never touch
the container wall.
