High pressure jets can be
dangerous. Never direct the
water jet at persons, pets,
live electrical equipment or
the machine itself.
Never try to clean clothes or
footwear on yourself or other
persons.
Hold the spray lance fi rmly
with both hands. The spray
lance is affected by a thrust
of up to 16.4 N during ope–
ration.
The operator and anyone in
the immediate vicinity of the
site of cleaning should take
action to protect themselves

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 uncoiled 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.
The permissible modulus of
power supply impedance: ≤
0.332 Ω.
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
Pressure safety device:
The unloader valve can reduce
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.
