care and maintenance work.
Repair works may only be per-
formed by the authorized cus-
tomer service.
Pull on the lever of the trigger gun;

Check whether the voltage indicat-
ed on the type plate corresponds to
the voltage of the mains supply.
Check the mains connection cable
for damages.
Check setting at the spray lance.
Appliance ventilation: Switch the
appliance on with the high-pressure
hose detached and operate (max. 2
minutes) until the water exits the
high-pressure connection without
bubbles. Switch off appliance and
reconnect high-pressure hose.
Check the water supply.
Pull out the sieve in the water con-
nection using flat-nose pliers and
clean under running water.
Voltage reduction due to weak mains
supply or when using an extension cable.
When switching on, first pull the lever
of the trigger gun and then switch the
appliance switch to "I/ON".
Clean high-pressure nozzle: Re-
move dirt and debris from the noz-
zle bore, using a needle and rinse

Check water flow quantity.
Slight leakage from the appliance
pump is normal. If the leakage in-
creases contact the authorized cus-
