High-pressure water jets can
be dangerous if misused. The
jet must not be directed at per-
sons, animals, live electrical
equipment or the washer itself.
Wear appropriate protective
clothing and eye protectors.
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other per-
sons in order to clean clothes or
footwear.
During operation of the washer,
recoil forces are produced at
the spraying device and, when
the spray lance is held at an
angle, a torque is also created.
The spraying device must there-
fore be held firmly in both hands.
Do not use the washer when
other people without protective
clothing are in the working area.
Check that cleaning will not
result in dangerous substances
(e.g. asbestos, oil) being was-
hed off the object to be cleaned
and harming the environment.
Do not clean delicate parts
made of rubber, fabric, etc. with
the 0° jet. Keep some distance
between high pressure nozzle
and surface in order to prevent
the surface from damage.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.

The specifications of the high-
pressure hose (max. permissi-
ble pressure and temperature)
are printed on the hose.
Do not continue to use the wa-
sher if the mains power lead or
high-pressure hose is dama-
ged.
Ensure adequate air circulation.
Do not cover the washer or
operate it in inadequately venti-
lated rooms!
Store the washer where it
will not be exposed to
frost!
Never operate the washer
without water. Even brief shor-
tages of water result in severe
damage to the pump seals.
Operation
CAUTIO
N
!
Unsuitable extension cords can
represent a source of danger.
Always unwind cord from the
reels completely to prevent the
power cord overheating.
When using an extension cord,
connectors must be of water-
tight construction.
When using an extension cord,
check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length
m
Cross section
<16 A
<25 A
up to 20 m
ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm²
20 to 50 m
ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm²
Do not damage the mains po-
wer lead (e.g. by driving over it,
pulling or crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug only (do not pull
or tug the power cord).

!
Never spray electrical equip-
ment with water: danger for
persons, risk of short-circuiting.
The washer may only be con-
nected to a correctly installed
plug socket.
Switching on the washer may
cause voltage fluctuations.
Voltage fl uctuations should
not occur if the impedance at
the transfer point is less than
0.15
Ω
. If in doubt ask your local
electricity supplier.
Maintenance and repair
CAUTIO
N
!
Always remove the plug from
the mains plug socket before
cleaning or carrying out mainte-
nance work on the washer.
Carry out only the maintenance
operations described in the
operating instructions. Use only
original spare parts.
Do not make any technical mo-
difications to the high-pressure
washer.
Ensure that the machine is re-
gularly serviced by Authorised
dealers in accordance with the
maintenace plan. Failure to do
so will invalidate the warranty.

!
High-pressure hoses, fittings
and couplings are important for
the safety of the washer. Use
only high-pressure parts appro-
ved by the manufacturer!
If the power cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by authori-
zed Service or an electrician to
avoid danger before use of the
washer is continued.
Use only the type of power cord
specified in Operating Instruc-
tions.
Please contact the Service de-
partment or an authorised spe-
cialist work-shop for all other
maintenance or repair work!
Safety Devices
Unloader valve
Unacceptably high pressure is
fed back without residual pres-
sure via a bypass line into the
intake line of the pump when the
safety device is tripped.
The unloader valve is set
and sealed at the factory and
must not be adjusted.
