for the safety of the appliance. Use
only hoses, fittings and couplings
recommended by the manufacturer.
•
WARNING:
Inadequate extension
cables can be dangerous. Cables on
reels should always be completely
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 dimensions.
•
1.0mm² max. 12.5m
•
1.5mm² max. 20m
•
If the electric cable is damaged, it
must be replaced by the
manufacturer or his service agent
or similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
MAINS POWER CONNECTION
The following should be observed when
connecting the electric pressure
washer to the electric installation:
•
The electric supply connection shall
be made by a qualified electrician
and comply with IEC 60364-1
•
It is recommended that the electric
supply to this appliance should
include either a residual current
device that will interrupt the supply
if the leakage current to earth
exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms.
WATER CONNECTION
•
Connection to the public mains
according to regulations.
•
Inlet hose can be connected to the
water mains with a max. inlet
pressure of 10 bars.
This high pressure washer is
in Europe only allowed to be
connected with the drinking
water mains, when an appropriate
mains backflow preventer has been
installed, Type BA according to EN
1717. The length of the hose between
the backflow preventer and the high
pressure washer must be at least 10
metres to absorb possible pressure
peaks (min diameter ½ inch).
Operation by suction (for example
from a rainwater vessel) is carried out
without backflow preventer.
As soon as water has flown through the
BA valve, this water is not considered
to be drinking water any more.
IMPORTANT!
Only use water without any impurities.
If there is a risk of sand particles in the
inlet water (i.e. from your own well),
an additional filter should be mounted.
SAFETY DEVICES
•
The unloader valve can reduce
pressure if it exceeds pre-set values.
•
Locking device (12) on trigger gun
(11) (see illustration at the
beginning of this manual): The
trigger gun (11) features a locking
device (12). When the knob is
activated, the trigger gun (11)
cannot be operated.
THERMAL SENSOR
A thermal sensor protects the motor
against overloading. The machine will
restart after a few minutes when the
thermal sensor has cooled.
