Switching on the unit
Electrical connection
Caution!
The voltage specified on the model rat-
ing plate must correspond to the voltage sup-
plied.
Caution!
The maximum tolerable mains
impedance at the electrical contact point (see
Technical Data) must not be exceeded.
Caution!
Use an extension cable with a sufficient
cable cross-section (see Technical Specifica-
tions) and unwind it fully from the cable drum.
For connected loads see model rating plate/
Technical Specifications.
Caution!
It is essential that the unit is connected
to the power supply by means of a plug. An in-
separable connection to the power supply is
prohibited. The plug is used to disconnect
from the mains.

pressure fan jet (see "Selecting the type of
spray").
Operating with high pressure
The unit is equipped with a pressure switch.
The motor only starts up when the lever is re-
tracted.
„
Unwind the high-pressure hose fully from
the cable drum.
„
Set the unit switch to "I". The indicator light
will go green.
„
Unlock the hand-held spray gun and retract
the lever of the gun.
„
Adjust operating pressure and flow rate
(+/–) by rotating the pressure/flow control
(infinitely variable).
„
At the lowest flow rate the waste heat from
the motor will heat the water to approx.
15 °C.
