Application
Before use, check that the unit and operating
equipment are in perfect condition and are safe
to operate. Do not use the unit if it is not in perfect
condition.
Never draw in solvent-containing liquids,
undiluted acids or solvents! This includes petrol,
paint thinners and heating oil. The sprayed vapour
is highly flammable, explosive and toxic; also
acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as these
corrode the materials used on the unit.
The appropriate safety regulations must be
observed when using the unit in dangerous areas
(e.g. petrol stations). It is forbidden to operate
the unit in potentially explosive locations.
The unit must be placed on a solid base.
Only use detergents which have been approved/
recommended by the manufacturer and comply
with the application, disposal and warning
instructions of the detergent manufacturers.
All current-conducting components in the working
area must be protected against splashed water.
The gun trigger must not be jammed in position
during operation.
Suitable protective clothing must be worn if
necessary to protect against splashing from some
parts.
Never direct the water jet at people, animals, the
unit or electric components.
Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned
from a minimum distance of 30 cm, otherwise the
vehicle tyre/tyre valve could be damaged by the
high-pressure jet. The first indication of this is a
discoloration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/
tyre valves can be deadly dangerous.
Materials containing asbestos and other materials
which contain substances which are hazardous
to your health must not be sprayed.
Operation
The operator must use the unit in accordance
with the regulations. He/she must take local
conditions into account and be aware of other
people, especially children, when operating the
unit.
The unit may only be used by persons who have

Any queries should be directed to your local
dealer.
The unit must not be operated by children or
juveniles (danger of accidents due to incorrect
use of the unit).
The unit must never be left unsupervised while
the motor is running.
The water jet from the high-pressure nozzle
produces a recoil on the gun. You should therefore
hold the gun and spray lance firmly.
Maintenance
Switch off the unit prior to all cleaning and
maintenance work and before replacing
components. Pull out the mains plug if the unit is
mains-operated.
Repairs may only be carried out by authorized
customer service centres or by specialists in this
field who are familiar with all the relevant safety
regulations.
Accessories and spare parts
Only use accessories and spare parts which have
been approved by the manufacturer. Original
