4. Start-up
4.1
Environmental protection
·
Please dispose of packaging environmentally
responsibly.
The packaging materials are recyclable.
Please do not throw the packaging in with
household rubbish but take it to a recycling
centre.
·
Please dispose of scrapped units
environmentally-responsibly.
Scrapped units consist of valuable recyclable
materials that should be taken to a recycling
centre. Batteries, oil and similar products
must not be allowed to contaminate the
environment. Therefore, please dispose of
scrapped units via appropriate disposal
systems.
·
Please ensure engine oil, fuel oil, diesel and
petrol to contaminate the environment. Please
protect the ground and dispose of used oil
ecologically.
4.2
Unpacking the appliance
·
Please contact your dealer immediately if, on
unpacking the appliance, you discover
damage has been caused during
transportation.
4.3
Attaching the accessories
·
Attach the two handles to the appliance.
·
Connect the spray lance to the gun.
·
Attach the high-pressure nozzle to the spray
lance.
·
Tighten all union nuts hand-tight.
4.5
Pouring in the fuel
·
The appliance is delivered with an empty fuel
tank.
·
Fill the fuel tank with diesel or a light fuel oil
before the initial start-up.
When the fuel tank is empty, the fuel pump
will operate dry and will be damaged.
4.6
Pouring in the liquid softener
·
The liquid softener prevents the heating element
from becoming calcified when operating with
hard supply water. The liquid softener is added in
drops to the supply water in the water tank. The
metering is set to an average value at the factoy.
This setting may be adjusted to local conditions
by customer service.
·
Pour the RM 110 liquid softener (included in
standard delivery) into the filling orifice of the
white tank.
·
You can also work without liquid softener when
operating with soft water, e.g. rain water. In this
case you should remove the small (!) cover from
the white tank and place the supplied spring
underneath on the cover support. Then replace
the cover. This prevents the indicator light on the
instrument panel from continually flashing. This
spring must be removed when operating with
supply water.
4.4
Checking the oil level of the
high-pressure pump
·
Before the initial start-up, open the appliance
hood and cut the tip off the oil tank cover (venting
the oil housing).
·
Check the oil level in the oil tank. Do not start the
appliance if the oil level has dropped below
“MIN”. Top up the oil as required (see tech. data,
chap. 3).
