The high pressure hose is specially con-
structed with reinforced walls to handle wa-
ter pressure up to 11 MPa (1600 psi) - it can 
be easily damaged and should be stored 
carefully.

„

Do not kink.

„

Do not drive vehicles over the hose.

„

Do not expose the hose to sharp edges 
or corners.

Misuse will lead to ballooning or premature 
failure and will invalidate warranty.

Caution

Safety devices protect the user and must 
not be modified or bypassed.

The appliance switch prevents unintention-
al operation of the appliance.

This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun 
and prevents the inadvertent start of the ap-
pliance.

If the lever on the trigger gun is released 
the pressure switch turns off the pump, the 
high-pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is 
pulled the pump is turned on again.
