Read the manual.
Never direct the water jet at people, animals, the unit or
electric components.
Warning: High pressure jets can be dangerous
if subject to misuse.
Electrical appliances must not be
disposed of with the domestic waste.
According to the applicable regulations, the appliance
must never be used on the

separator as per IEC 61770 Type BA.
SAFETY
Safety Notes
Warning! Read these instructions carefully, be familiar with
the controls and the proper use of the machine. Please keep
the instructions safe for later use! Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Connecting to the mains
●
The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond to the
voltage of the power source.
●
We recommend that this equipment is only connected into a
socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that would be
actuated by a 30 mA residual current.
●
Remove the plug from socket whenever the machine is left
unattended for any period.
●
The electric supply installation should comply with IEC 60364-1.
●
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
●
If the plug is damaged, pay attention to the following:
●
Plugs and sockets situated near the work site or outdoors
should be to class IP 55 of BS 5490 to provide adequate
protection against ingress of water, etc. and cable entries require
effective sealing. Rubber shrouds should be provided over cable
glands. Drip-proof (class IP X2 of BS 5490) plugs and sockets to
BS 4343 are suitable for use indoors where the plug is away from
the water spray area where the appliance is in use.
●
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
●
Do not pull plug while operating the device.
●
Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cord or
extension cord, otherwise it may be damaged. Protect the cable
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
●
Do not use the unit, if the power supply cord or important parts,
e. g. high-pressure hose, power gun or safety devices are
damaged.
●
Warning: Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
●
If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of
watertight construction.The extension cord must have a cross
section in accordance with the operating instructions and be
protected against splashed water.
The connection must not be in water.
●
When replacing plugs on the power supply cable or extension
lead the spray water guard and mechanical stability must remain
intact.
Water connection
●
Comply with the regulations of your water supply company.
●
All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
●
Make sure that the supply hose is at least 12.7 mm (1/2") in
diameter and is reinforced.
●
The appliance should never be used on the drinking water
supply without a back flow valve. Water which has passed the
back flow valve is regarded as undrinkable.
●
The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (danger of
bursting). A damaged high-pressure hose must be replaced
immediately. Only use hoses and connections recommended by
the manufacturer.
●
High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the
safety of the appliance. Use only hoses, fittings and
couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
●
Only clean or filtered water should be used for intake.
Application
●
Before use, check that the unit and operating equipment
are in perfect condition and are safe to operate. Do not use
the unit if it is not in perfect condition.
●
Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to
clean clothes or footwear.
●
Do not use solvent-containing liquids, undiluted acids,
acetone or solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinners,
heating oil. The sprayed vapour is highly flammable,
explosive and toxic.
●
The appropriate safety regulations must be observed when
using the unit in dangerous areas (e. g. petrol stations). It is
forbidden to operate the unit in potentially explosive
locations.
●
The unit must be placed on a solid base.
●
Only use detergents recommended by the manufacturer.
Comply with the application, disposal and warning
instructions of the detergent manufacturers.
●
All current-conducting components in the working area
must be protected against splashed water.
●
The gun trigger must not be jammed
in position “ON”
during operation.
●
Wear suitable protective clothing to protect against
splashing from some parts. Do not use the appliance within
the range of persons unless they also wear protective
clothing.
●
If necessary wear personal protective equipment (PPE) e.
g. safety goggles, breathing protection etc to protect against
water, particles and/or aerosols sprayed back from parts.
●
High pressure may cause objects to rebound. If necessary
wear suitable personnel protective equipment such as safety
goggles.
●
Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned from a
minimum distance of 30 cm, otherwise the vehicle tyre/tyre
valve could be damaged by the high-pressure jet. The first
indication of this is a discoloration of the tyre. Damaged
vehicle tyres/tyre valves can be extremely dangerous.
●
Materials containing asbestos and other materials which
contain substances which are hazardous to your health must
not be sprayed.
●
Detergents must not be used undiluted. The products are
safe to use as they contain no acids, alkalis or substances
which are detrimental to the environment. We recommend
that the detergents are kept out of the reach of children. If
detergent comes into contact with the eyes, wash
immediately with plenty of water and if swallowed contact a
doctor immediately.
●
Never use the pressure washer without the filter or
with a dirty or damaged filter.
Using the pressure washer
without a filter or with a dirty or damaged filter may invalidate
the warranty.
●
Metal parts may become hot after prolonged usage, if
necessary wear protective gloves.
●
Avoid high pressure washing in bad weather conditions
especially when there is a risk of lightning.
