safety only use original spare
parts from the manufacturer
or approved by the manufacturer.
High pressure hoses, fi ttings
and couplings are important
for the safety of the appliance. Only use hoses, fi ttings
and couplings recommended
by the manufacturer.
Do not use the appliance
if a supply cord or important parts of appliance are
damaged, e.g. safety device ,
high pressure hose and trigger gun.
The appliance is intended to
clean cars and garden etc..
Appropriate ear protection
has to be used.
Never use the machine in
an environment where there
could be a danger of explosion. If any doubt arises,
please contact the local
authorities.
It is not allowed to clean as-
bestos- containing surfaces
with high pressure.
This high pressure washer
must not be used at temperatures below 0°C.
WARNING!
Inadequate extension cables
can be dangerous. Cables on
drums should always be completely unwinded to prevent the
cable from overheating.
If an extension cable is used,
the plug and the socket must be
waterproof and comply with the
below-mentioned requirements
for length and cable dimensions.
1.0 mm² max. 12.5 m
1.5 mm² max. 20 m
2.5 mm² max. 30 m
If the electric cable is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or his service agent or similarly qualifi ed person in order
to avoid a hazard.
Mains power connection
The following should be observed when connecting the
high pressure washer to the
electric installation:
The electric installation shall
be made by a certifi ed electrician and comply with IEC
364.
It is recommended that the
electric supply to this appliance should include either a
residual current device that
will interrupt the supply if the
leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms.
Water connection
Connection to the public
mains according to regulations.
Inlet hose can be connected
to the water mains with a
max. inlet pressure of 10
bars.
This high pressure washer is
only allowed to be
connected with
the drinking water
mains, when an appropriate
backfl ow preventer has been
installed, Type BA according
to EN 1717. The backfl ow preventer can be ordered under
number 106411177. The length
of the hose between the backfl ow preventer and the high
pressure washer must be at
least 10 metres to absorb possible pressure peaks (min diameter ½ inch).
Operation by suction (for example from a rainwater vessel)
is carried out without backfl ow
preventer. Recommended suction set: 126411387.
As soon as water has fl own
through the BA valve, this water
is not considered to be drinking
water any more.
IMPORTANT! Only use water without any impurities. If
there is a risk of running sands
in the inlet water (i.e. from your
own well), an additional fi lter
should be mounted.
Safety devices
The unloader valve can re-
duce pressure if it exceeds
pre-set values.
Locking device on spray gun
(7a) (see illustration at the end
of this manual):
The spray gun features a locking device. When the pawl is
activated, the spray gun cannot
be ope rated.
Thermal sensor:
A thermal sensor protects the
motor against overloading. The
machine will restart after a few
minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled.

4.3 Water connection An ordinary 1/2" garden hose of
min. 10 m and max. 25 m will
be suitable.
NOTE: Connection to the public
mains according to regulations.
IMPORTANT! Only use water without any impurities. If
there is a risk of running sands
in the inlet water (i.e. from
your own well), an additional
fi lter (106411231) should be
mounted.
1. Let the water run through the
water hose before connecting
it to the machine to prevent
sand and dirt from penetrating the machine.
Note: Check that the fi lter is
fi tted in the water inlet pipe
and that it is not clogged up.
2. Connect the water hose to
the water supply by means
of the quick connector (inlet
water, max. pressure: 10 bar,
max. temperature: 40°C).
3. Turn on the water.
4.4 Start and stop of the
machine
The spray lance is affected
by a thrust during operation
- therefore always hold it fi rmly
with both hands. IMPORTANT:
Point the nozzle at the
ground.
1. Check that the machine is in
uprigth position.
NOTE: Do not place the ma-
chine in high grass!
2. Release the trigger lock (7a).
3. Activate the trigger of the
spray gun and let the water
run until all air has escaped
from the water hose.
4. Press the Start/stop switch
"I" (1).
5. Activate the trigger of the
spray gun.
Always adjust the distance and
thus the pressure of the nozzle
to the surface, which is to be
cleaned.
Do not cover the machine
during operation or use it in a
room without adequate ventilation !
Note: If the machine is left or not
used for 5 minutes, it must be switched off on
the start/stop switch "O" (1):
1. Press the start/stop switch
"O".
2. Disconnect the electrical plug
from the socket.
3. Shut off the water supply and
activate the trigger to relieve
the machine of pressure.
4. Lock the spray gun (7a).
When releasing the trigger of
the spray gun, the machine
automatically stops. The machine will start again when you
re- activate the spray gun.

5 After using your pressure washer
5.1 Storing the washer The machine should be sto-
red in a frost-free room!
Pump, hose and accessories
should always be emptied of
water prior to storing as follows:
5.2 Winding up of electric
cable and high pressure
hose
1. Stop the machine (press the
start/stop switch “O” (1) and
detach water hose and accessory.
2. Restart the machine and
activate the trigger. Let the
machine run until no more
water runs through the spray
gun.
3. Stop the machine, unplug
and wind up hose and cable.
4. Place spray handle, nozzles
and other accessories in the
holders of the machine.
Should the machine by mistake
be frozen, it will be necessary
to check it for damage.
NEVER START-UP A FROZEN
MACHINE.
Frost damages are not
covered by the guarantee!
To avoid accidents, the electric
cable and the high pressure
hose should always be winded
carefully up around the handle.
C 110.2 X-TRA: Wind up the
cable on the appropriate hook.
5.3 Storage of accessories The spray handle, lance and
nozzles can be stored on the
pressure washer.

6 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning of water inlet
fi lter
WARNING! Always discon-
nect the electrical plug from the
socket prior to maintenance or
cleaning.
To ensure a long and problem
free working life, please take
the following advice:
Wash out water hose, high
pressure hose, spray lance
and accessories before
mounting.
Clean the connectors of dust
and sand.
Rinse the detergent spraying
attachment after use.
Clean the nozzles.
Any repair should always be
made in an authorized workshop
with original spare parts.
Clean the water inlet fi lter
regularly once a month or more
frequently according to use.
Carefully loosen the fi lter with a
screwdriver and clean it. Check
that it is intact before re-mounting it.
The inlet fi lter must always be
fi tted inside the water inlet pipe
to fi lter out sand, limestone and
other impurities, as they will
damage the pump valves.
CAUTION: Failure to fi t the fi lter
will invalidate the guarantee.
6.2 Cleaning of nozzle A clogging up in the nozzle
causes a pump pressure which
is too high. This is why cleaning
is required immediately.
1. Stop the machine and disconnect the nozzle.
2. Clean the nozzle. IMPOR-
TANT: The cleaning tool (11)
should only be used when
the nozzle is detached!
3. Flush the nozzle backwards
with water.
11
6.3 Cleaning of machine
vents
The machine should be kept
clean so as to let cooling air
pass freely through the machine vents.
6.4 Greasing of couplings
To ensure an easy connection and that o-rings do not dry
up, the couplings should be
greased regularly.
