IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS !
CAUTION
Water Supply
•
Water hose must be at least 1/2 inch in
diameter.
•
The flow rate of the 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.
•
Water can also be drawn from a standing
water supply such as a lake or a drum by
means of filtered suction hose (optional
accessory).
•
The water supply temperature must not
exceed 104 °F.
•
Never use the device to suck in liquids con-
taining solvents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oil, etc. or unfiltered water. The seals in the
cleaner are not resistant to solvents. When
solvents are sprayed the fine mist is highly
flammable, explosive and poisonous. Grit
particles in unfiltered water could damage
both the cleaner and the object being clea-
ned.
•
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 ex-
ample, is permitted.
•
Dirt in the feed water could lead to the ap-
pliance being damaged. To avoid this risk, we
recommend fitting a filter. A suitable filter with
3/4" connection is available under Order No.
6.414-389.
•
The safety ratchet does not lock the lever of
the gun during operation but only prevents it
from opening unintentionally.
