DANGER
Danger of injury from electric shock
Only allow authorised technical specialists to install the
water supply, electrical connections and high-pressure
network.
Do not aim the high-pressure jet at persons,
animals, live electrical equipment or the de-
vice itself.
Protect the device against frost.
According to applicable regulations, the de-
vice must never be used with the drinking
water network without a system separator.
Ensure that the connection to your house
water system, with which the high-pressure
cleaner is operated, is equipped with a sys-
tem separator according to EN 12729 type
BA. Water that has flowed through a system
separator is classified as undrinkable. Al-
ways connect the system separator to the
water inlet and never directly to the device.
WARNING
The high nozzle outlet speed of the high-
pressure water jet results in a high noise lev-
el that can cause discomfort or hearing dam-
age (e.g. tinnitus) to persons in the
immediate vicinity. A continuously high
noise level can result in deafness.
Ɣ Wear the prescribed personal protective
equipment.
Ɣ High noise levels can impair vocal com-
munication and impair or prevent your
ability to perceive acoustic warning sig-
nals. Never work alone. A second per-
son must be present outside the work
area.
