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

The appliance may only be connected to 
alternating current. The voltage must cor-
respond with the type plate on the appli-
ance.

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, under-
body washes, may only be carried out us-
ing washing stations equipped with an oil 
separator.

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

Caution

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

The appliance switch prevents unintentional 
operation of the appliance.

This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun and 
prevents the inadvertent start of the appli-
ance.

The overflow valve prevents the permissible 
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.

The high pressure hose is specially construct-
ed with reinforced walls to handle water pres-
sure up to 13 MPa (1900 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

Create stability for the appliance prior to all 
work on or with the appliance to prevent acci-
dents or damage.

The stability of the appliance is warranted 
when it is placed onto an even surface.

The scope of delivery of your appliance is il-
lustrated on the packaging. Check the con-
tents of the appliance for completeness when 
unpacking.
In the event of missing accessories or any 
transport damage, please contact your deal-
er.

These operating instructions describe the 
maximum equipment. Depending on the 
model, there are differences in the scopes 
of delivery (see packaging).
