Connecting the water
·
See technical data, chap. 3 for connected
loads.
·
Attach the supply hose to the appliance and to
the water line. The supply hose is not included
in standard delivery.
·
If you draw in the water from an open tank,
you should
– disconnect the water supply from the pump
head
– unscrew the upper supply hose from the
water tank and connect to the pump head.
– use a water supply hose which has a
minimum diameter of 3/4" and a suction
filter.
·
Until the pump has drawn in the water, you
should:
– rotate the pressure and volume control to
“MAX”,
– close the detergent metering valve.

Connecting the power
·
See technical data, chap. 3 for connected
loads
·
The voltage stated on the rating plate must
correspond to the voltage of the power source.
·
The electric plug must only be fitted by an
authorized customer service/electrical
engineer. The direction of rotation of the engine
must also be observed. If the direction of
rotation is correct, there will be a powerful air
flow from the exhaust gas opening of the
burner.
·
First, position the appliance switch to “STOP”
and then put the electric plug into the socket.
·
If you are using an extension lead, it should
always be completely unwound from the cable
drum and have an adequate cross-section
(25 ft = 12 AWG, 50 ft = 10 AWG).
