IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using this product basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1 Read all the instructions before using
the product.
2 High pressure jets can be dangerous if
misused. The jet must not be directed at persons, animals, electrical devices, or the unit itself.
3 To reduce the risk of injury, close super-
vision is necessary when a product is used near children.
4 Know how to stop the product and
bleed pressures quickly. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls. 5 Stay alert – watch what you are doing. 6 Wear safety goggles. 7 Do not use acids, alkaline, solvents, or
any flammable material in this product.
These products can cause physical in-
juries to the operator and irreversible
damage to the machine. 8 Do not operate the product when fa-
tigued or under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. 9 Do not overreach or stand on unstable
support. Keep good footing and bal-
ance at all times. 10 To reduce the risk of electrocution,
keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch plug with wet
hands. 11 The Trigger Gun Safety Lock prevents
the trigger from accidentally being en-
gaged. This safety feature DOES NOT
lock trigger in the ON position. 12 Keep operating area clear of all per-
sons. 13 Close cover before operating the ma-
chine. 14 This appliance is intended for commer-
cial use. 15 Follow the maintenance instructions
specified in the manual.
16 This machine has been designed for
use with cleaning chemicals supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other cleaning chemicals may affect the operation of the machine and void the warranty.
17 This product is provided with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter built into the power cord plug. If replacement of the plug or cord is needed, use only identi­cal replacement parts.
18 Do not use extension cord with this
product.
Injection hazard: equipment can cause
serious injury if the spray penetrates the skin. Do not point the gun at anyone or any part of the body. In case of penetra­tion seek medical aid immediately.
This system is capable of producing
1200 psi/8.3 MPa. To avoid rupture and injury, do not operate this pump with components rated less than 1200 psi/
8.3 MPa working pressure (including but not limited to spray guns, hose and hose connections).
Before servicing, cleaning, or removal
of any part, shut off power and relieve pressure.
Do not spray electrical apparatus and
wiring.
High Pressure. Keep clear of nozzle.If connection is made to a potable water
system, the system shall be protected against backflow.
Owner/User Responsibility
The owner and/or user must have an
understanding of the manufacturer’s operating instructions and warnings be­fore using this pressure washer.
Warning information should be empha-
sized and understood.
4 EN
If the operator is not fluent in English,
the manufacturer’s instructions and
warnings shall be read to and dis-
cussed with the operator in the opera-
tor’s native language by the purchaser/
owner, making sure that the operator
comprehends its contents.
Owner and/or user must study and
maintain for future reference the manu-
facturers’ instructions.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro­vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly in­stalled and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment­grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electri­cian or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly ground­ed. Do not modify the plug provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified elec­trician. Do not use any type of adapter with this product.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT IN-
TERRUPTER PROTECTION
This product is supplied with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the power cord plug. This device provides addi­tional protection from the risk of electric shock. If power is interrupted in the line, the GFCI will automatically re-close the circuit to the load after power is restored. Depend­ing on the GFCI model, it may be neces­sary to manually operate the reset button to restore power to the GFCI load circuit. If re­placement of the plug or cord is needed use identical replacement parts.
WATER SUPPLY
CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to the wa­ter supply mains, local regulations of your water company must be observed. In some areas the unit must not be connected di­rectly to the public drinking water supply. This is to ensure that there is no feedback of chemicals into the water supply. Direct connection via a receiver tank or backflow preventer, for example, is permitted. Always connect the system separator to the water supply, never directly to the appli­ance! Dirt in the feed water will damage the unit. To avoid this risk, we recommend fitting a water filter.
Garden hose must be at least 1/2 inch
in diameter.
Flow rate of water supply must not fall
below 2.5 GPM (gallons per minute).
Flow rate can be determined by running
the water for one minute into an empty 5-gallon container.
The water supply temperature must not
exceed 86°F/30°C.
Never use the pressure washer to draw
in water contaminated with solvents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.
Always prevent debris from being
drawn into the unit by using a clean wa­ter source. Use additional water filter.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

also be followed.
Safety Devices
Safety devices serve for the protection of the user and must not be put out of operation or bypassed with respect to their function.
Pressure switch
The pressure switch turns the device off when the handgun is closed and switch on when the handgun is opened.
Safety valve
The safety valve opens in case of ex-
cessive pressure in the boiler or if the
overflow valve or the pressure switch is
broken.
The safety valve is set by the manufac-
turer and sealed. Setting only by cus-
tomer service.
Water shortage safeguard
The water shortage safeguard prevents the burner to be turned on when there is water shortage.
Temperature stop for exhaust gases
The temperature stop switches off the ma­chine when the waste gases have reached very high temperatures.
Winding protection contact
The winding proctection contact in the motor winding of the pump drive switches off the engine when there is a thermal overload.
Safety catch

Water connection
For connection values refer to technical specifications Connect the supply hose(minimu length
24.6 ft/7.5 m, minimum diameter 1/2“)
to the water connection point of the ma-
chine and at the water supply point (for
e.g. a tap).

jects (hose,etc.) on or over the chim­ney.
Device with hose drum:
Always unwind high pressure hose completely
Safety instructions
Warning
Long hours of using the appliance can cause circulation problems in the hands on account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid operation time, since this depends on sev­eral factors:
Proneness to blood circulation deficien-
cies (cold, numb fingers).
Low ambient temperature. Wear warm
gloves to protect hands.
A firm grip impedes blood circulation.Continuous operation is worse than an
operation interrupted by pauses.
