Quality requirements for water:
ATTENTION
Only clean water may be used as high
pressure medium. Impurities will lead
to increased wear and tear or forma-
tion of deposits in the appliance.
If recycled water is used, the following
limit values must not be exceeded.
Safety devices serve for the protection
of the user and must not be put out of
operation or bypassed with respect to
their function.
While reducing the water supply/quantity
regulation at the pump head, the over-
flow valve opens and part of the water
flows back to the pump suck side.
If the lever on the trigger gun is re-
leased the pressure switch turns off the
pump, the high pressure jet is stopped.
If the lever is pulled the pump is turned
on again.
The overflow valve and pressure
switch are set and sealed at the facto-
ry. Setting only by customer service.
Electrical and electronic devices often
contain components which could po-
tentially pose a danger to human
health and the environment if handled
or disposed of incorrectly. However,
these components are necessary for
the proper operation of the device. De-
