containing water or dirt.

Caution

In case of extended downtimes, switch 
the appliance off at the main switch / ap-
pliance switch or remove the mains 
plug.

Do not operate the appliance at temper-
atures below 0 °C.

Observe a distance of at least 30 cm 
when using the jet to clean painted sur-
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.

Never leave the appliance unattended 
when it is in operation.

Make sure that the power cable or ex-
tension cables are not damaged by run-
ning over, pinching, dragging or similar. 
Protect the power cable from heat, oil, 
and sharp edges.

All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet 
water.

The appliance may only be connected 
to an electrical supply which has been 
installed in accordance with IEC 60364.

The appliance may only be connected 
to alternating current. The voltage must 
correspond with the type plate on the 
appliance.

The maximum tolerable mains imped-
ance at the electrical contact point (see 
Technical Data) must not be exceeded.

For safety reasons, we recommend that 
you operate the appliance only via a 
earth-leakage circuit breaker (max. 
30 mA).

Cleaning operations which produce oily 
waste water, e.g. engine washes, un-
derbody washes, may only be carried 
out using washing stations equipped 
with an oil separator.

This appliance was designed to be used 
with detergents which are supplied or 
recommended by the manufacturer. 
The use of other detergents or chemi-
cals may compromise the safety of the 
appliance.

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.

The overflow valve prevents the permissi-
ble working pressure from being exceeded. 
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.

When unpacking the product, make sure 
that no accessories are missing and that 
none of the package contents have been 
damaged. If you detect any transport dam-
ages please contact your dealer.
