or with the Servopress - regulation the overflow
valve opens and part of the water flows back to the

water flows back to the pump suck side, the pres-
sure switch at the overflow valve shuts down the
pump.
– If the hand spray gun is opened, the pressure
switch on the cylinder head turns the pump back
on.
The overflow valve is set by the manufacturer and
sealed. Setting only by customer service.
– The safety valve opens, when the overflow valve
resp. the pressure switch is broken.
