Risk of electric shock.
 Prior to all work on the appliance, switch off the ap-
pliance and pull the power plug.
 Pull on the lever of the trigger gun; the device will
switch on.
 Check whether the voltage indicated on the type
plate corresponds to the voltage of the mains sup-
ply.
 Check the mains connection cable for damages.
 Check setting at the spray lance.
 Check water supply for adequate delivery rate.
 Pull out the sieve in the water connection using flat-
nose pliers and clean under running water.
 Appliance ventilation: Switch the appliance on with
the high-pressure hose detached and operate
(max. 2 minutes) until the water exits the high-pres-
sure connection without bubbles. Switch off appli-
ance and reconnect high-pressure hose.
 Clean high-pressure nozzle: Remove dirt and de-
bris from the nozzle bore, using a needle and rinse
through with water from the front.
 Check water flow quantity.
 Slight leakage from the appliance pump is normal.
If the leakage increases contact the authorized
customer service.
