Water connection
몇
WARNING
● The device must not be started
up if the high-pressure hose is damaged. Replace a
damaged high-pressure hose at once. Only those
hoses and connections recommended by the man-
ufacturer may be used. For order no. see
operating
instructions . ● The screw connections of all connection
hoses must be leak-tight.
ATTENTION
● Observe the regulations at your
water distribution company.
Operation

DANGER
● When using the device in hazard
zones (e.g. service stations), adhere to the respective
safety regulations.
● Operation in explosive atmos-
pheres is prohibited. ● Never suction solvents, liquids
containing solvents or undiluted acids. This includes
e.g. petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is
highly flammable, explosive and poisonous.
● Dam-
aged wheels / tyre valves are extremely dangerous.
Damaged wheels / tyre valves can be damaged by the
high-pressure jet and explode. The first sign of this is
discolouration of the tyres. Keep a spray distance of at
least 30 cm when cleaning the wheels / tyre valves.
몇
WARNING
● Do not use the device if people with-
out the proper protective clothing are in its reach. ● With
short spray lances, your hand may come into contact with
the high-pressure jet. Never use a spotlight nozzle or rotary
nozzle with steel tubes that are shorter than 75 cm.
● A re-
coil force will arise due to the water stream ejecting from the
spray lance. An angular spray lance produces a force that
acts in upward direction. Make sure you grip the gun and
spray lance firmly.
● When using angular spray units, recoil
forces and twisting forces may alter. ● Do not aim the high-
pressure jet at yourself, e.g. to clean clothes or shoes. ● Do
not direct the high-pressure jet at persons, animals, live
electrical equipment or at the device itself.
● Do not spray
any objects which contain harmful substances (e.g. asbes-
tos).
● Check the device and the accessories, such as the
high-pressure hose, high-pressure gun and safety devices,
to make sure they are in proper safe and reliable condition
before each operation. Do not use the device if it is dam-
aged. Replace damaged components immediately.
● Only
use high-pressure hoses, control panels and couplings
specified by the manufacturer.
몇 CAUTION
● Never leave the device unsuper-
vised while it is in operation. ● Never open the cover
while the motor is running. ● Never clamp the lever of
the high-pressure gun during operation. ● Allow the
hoses to cool down after hot water operation or operate
the device briefly using cold water operation.
● The de-
vice must be placed on an even, firm subsurface. ● Be-
fore cleaning, carry out a risk assessment of the surface
to be cleaned to determine any health and safety pro-
tection requirements. The necessary protective meas-
ures must be taken accordingly.
ATTENTION
● Do not operate the device at tem-
peratures below 0 °C. ● Only clean the motor at wash-
ing stations with an oil separator.
Operation with detergent
몇
CAUTION
● Keep the detergent out of the reach
of children. ● When using detergents, observe the safety
data sheet of the detergent manufacturer, in particular in-
structions on protective gear.
● Only use the detergents
supplied or specified by the manufacturer. The use of other
detergents or chemicals can impair the safety of the de-
vice.
● Never use the recommended detergents undiluted.
These products are operationally safe since they do not
contain any acids, alkali or substances that are harmful to
the environment. Should detergents come into contact with
eyes, rinse these out immediately and thoroughly using
water and seek medical attention immediately. The same
applies if detergents are swallowed.
Device with a hand-arm vibration value > 2.5 m/s² (see
chapter Technical Data in the operating instructions)
몇 CAUTION
● Using the device for longer periods can cause poor
circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general
period of use cannot be set, because this depends on
several influencing factors:
● Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (fre-
quently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fingers)
● Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to
protect your hands.
● Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circulation.
● Continuous operation is more harmful than opera-
tion interrupted by work breaks.
You should see a doctor if using the device regularly
and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of re-
peated occurrences of symptoms such as tingling in
the fingers or cold fingers.
Devices with pneumatic tyres
몇 CAUTION
● In case of devices with screw-in
wheel rims: Make sure that all wheel rim bolts are tight-
ened securely before setting the tyre filling pressure.
● Make sure that the pressure reducer is set correctly
on the compressor before setting the tyre filling pres-
sure.
● Never exceed the maximum permissible tyre fill-
ing pressure. The tyre filling pressure needs to be read
on the tyre and if necessary on the wheel rim. If these
values differ, use the smaller value.
Hot water and petrol-driven devices, devices with a
combustion engine
 DANGER
● Explosion hazard due to unsuita-
ble fuel. Only fill the fuel specified in the operating in-
structions.
몇 WARNING
● Exhaust gases are toxic. Never
breathe in the exhaust gases. Ensure rooms where the
device is operated are sufficiently ventilated and that
exhaust gases can be conducted away.
● During tank-
ing, make sure that no fuel gets on hot surfaces.
몇
CAUTION
● Risk of burns. Never bend down
over the exhaust gas opening and never reach inside it.
Do not touch the heating boiler while the burner is in op-
eration.
● Never close off exhaust gas openings.
● Make sure that no exhaust gases are emitted close to
air vents. ● Observe the safety instructions for petrol-
driven devices in the operating instructions.
