To ensure the appliance
safety only use original spare
parts from the manufacturer
or approved by the manufac-
turer.
High pressure hoses, fi ttings
and couplings are important
for the safety of the appli-
ance. Only use hoses, fi ttings
and couplings recommended
by the manufacturer.
Do not use the appliance
if a supply cord or impor-
tant parts of appliance are
damaged, e.g. safety device ,
high pressure hose and trig-
ger gun.
The appliance is intended to
clean cars and garden etc..
Appropriate ear protection
has to be used.
Never use the machine in
an environment where there
could be a danger of explo-
sion. If any doubt arises,
please contact the local
authorities.
It is not allowed to clean as-
bestos- containing surfaces
with high pressure.
This high pressure washer
must not be used at tempera-
tures below 0°C.
WARNING!
Inadequate extension cables
can be dangerous. Cables on
drums should always be com-
pletely unwinded to prevent the
cable from overheating.
If an extension cable is used,
the plug and the socket must be
waterproof and comply with the
below-mentioned requirements
for length and cable dimen-
sions.
1.0 mm² max. 12.5 m
1.5 mm² max. 20 m
2.5 mm² max. 30 m
If the electric cable is
damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer
or his service agent or simi-
larly qualifi ed person in order
to avoid a hazard.
Mains power connection
The following should be ob-
served when connecting the
high pressure washer to the
electric installation:
The electric installation shall
be made by a certifi ed elec-
trician and comply with IEC
364.
It is recommended that the
electric supply to this appli-
ance should include either a
residual current device that
will interrupt the supply if the
leakage current to earth ex-
ceeds 30 mA for 30 ms.
The permissible modulus of
power supply impedance:
≤
0.332 Ω.
Water connection
Connection to the public
mains according to regula-
tions.
Inlet hose can be connected
to the water mains with a
max. inlet pressure of 10
bars.
IMPORTANT! Only use wa-
ter without any impurities.
If
there is a risk of running sands
in the inlet water (i.e. from your
own well), an additional fi lter
should be mounted.
Safety devices
The unloader valve can re-
duce pressure if it exceeds
pre-set values.
Locking device on spray gun
(7a)
(see foldout at the end of
this manual)
:
The spray gun features a lock-
ing device. When the pawl is
activated, the spray gun cannot
be ope rated.
Thermal sensor:
A thermal sensor protects the
motor against overloading. The
machine will restart after a few
minutes when the thermal sen-
sor has cooled.
