4. Start-up
•
Until the pump has drawn in the water, you
should:
– rotate the pressure and volume control to
“MAX”,
– close the detergent metering valve.
– Never draw in water from a drinking
water tank.
– Never draw in liquids which contain
solvents, e.g. paint thinners, petrol, oil
and unfiltered water. The seals in the
appliance are not resistant to solvents.
The aerosol from solvents is highly
flammable, explosive and toxic!
4.7
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
(10 m = 1.5 mm², 30 m = 2.5 mm²).
– The connection lead and extension
lead must not be damaged.
– Connect the appliance only to correctly
earthed power sources.
– All current-carrying components in the
working area must be hose-proof.
– Never touch the plugs with wet hands.
– A residual-current-operated circuit-
breaker will offer additional personal
protection (30 mA).
4.8
Intended use

Engines must only be cleaned in places which
have appropriate oil traps (protection of the
environment).
•
If the machine is used at petrol stations or in
other hazardous areas, the appropriate safety
