for effective cleaning of cars, bikes, or other
items that require spraying or with the use
of detergent. The surface cleaner is used for

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious injury.
■ The product is not intended for use by
children or persons with reduced physical,
sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge. Children
should be adequately supervised to ensure
they do not play with the product.
■ Wear a complete personal protective
equipment when operating the product,
such as boots, safety gloves, safety
helmets with visor, and hearing protection.
Use high-impact visors only with liquid
splash protection.
CAUTION
The product must not be used on the
drinking water supply without a backflow
preventer being installed that corresponds to
EN 12729 Type BA. Water flowing through
a backflow preventer is considered non-
drinkable. Always observe the regulations
of your local water utility company when
connecting the product to a water supply
line.
WARNING
Do not use the product when people are
within range, unless they wear protective
clothing.
To reduce the risk of injury, keep children and
visitors away. All visitors should wear safety
glasses and be kept at a safe distance from
the work area.
■ Inspect the safety devices, such as safety
valves, flow switches, and pressure
switches to check if they are in good
working condition. Make sure all safety
devices are operating properly before each
use:
● On/Off switch
– The on/off switch prevents
unintentional operation of the
product.
● Trigger handle lock
– The trigger handle lock locks the
trigger and prevents unintentional
opening of the high-pressure jet.
● Overflow valve with pressure switch
– 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 and the
high-pressure jet stops. If the lever is
pulled, the pump turns on again.
● Motor protection switch
– The motor protection switch
switches off the device if the power
consumption is high.
■ Do not use the product if the important
parts are damaged, such as safety devices,
