Initial Operation
In keeping with current regulations
a pressure washer must never be
operated off the drinking water
mains supply without a controlla-
ble backflow preventer. A suitable
backflow preventer in conformity
with EN 12729 type BA must be
used.
Water that has passed through a backflow
preventer is classified as undrinkable.
A backflow preventer is available
from specialist retailers.

Electrical safety:
Caution: to avoid accidents and
injuries from electric shocks:
• The plug and socket of an extension
cable must be water-tight!
Unsuitable extension cables can
be dangerous as people can be
harmed by an electric shock!
• Protect the electric plug connections
against moisture.
• If there is a risk of flooding, fix the
plug connections in an area that is safe
from flooding.
• Ensure that the mains voltage matches
the specifications on the rating plate.
• The electrical installation shall be ac-
cording to national wiring rules.
• Connection to the mains must be
carried out by an experienced electri
-
cian and meet the requirements of
IEC 60364-1.
• The device must only be connected to
a mains socket via a residual-current
circuit breaker (RCD) with a rated leak-
age current of not more than 30 mA.
Fuse: at least 13 ampere.
