
All current-conducting parts in the working
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 al-
ternating current. The voltage must corre-
spond with the type plate on the appliance.

For safety reasons, we recommend that you
operate the appliance only via a earth-leak-
age circuit breaker (max. 30 mA).

Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, underbody
washes, may only be carried out using wash-
ing stations equipped with an oil separator.
Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must not be
modified or bypassed.
The appliance switch prevents unintentional op-
eration of the appliance.
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun and
prevents the inadvertent start of the appliance.
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.
Caution
Create stability for the appliance prior to all work
on or with the appliance to prevent accidents or
damage.
The stability of the appliance is warranted when
it is placed onto an even surface.
These operating instructions describe the maxi-
mum equipment. Depending on the model, there
are differences in the scopes of delivery (see
packaging).
