5. Operation
Ventilating the appliance
•••••
Open the water intake.
•••••
Start the engine according to the operating
instructions of the engine manufacturer.
•••••
Allow the appliance to run without the high-
pressure hose until the water emerges without
bubbles.
•••••
Then connect the high-pressure hose.
Two-way nozzle
•••••
It is possible to work with a high-pressure or a
low-pressure jet.
•••••
Changing the jet form is only possible with the
hand gun closed.
– Release trigger.
– Turn changeover nozzle 90° to alter pressure
of the water jet.
High Pressure
Low Pressure
•••••
The symbol of the chosen jet form is on the
upper side of the changeover nozzle.
Detergents can only be syphoned at low
pressure.
Pressure and flow regulation
•••••
The water flow and pressure can be easily
adjusted by setting the engine control to “SLOW”
or “FAST”.
– Ensure that the appliance is situated on
firm ground.
– The water jet emerging from the high-
pressure nozzle causes the gun to recoil.
An angular spray lance will also cause
a torque. Therefore, grip the spray lance
and gun firmly.
– Never direct the water jet at people,
animals, the appliance or electrical
components.
– The high-pressure cleaner must not be
operated by children (danger of
accidents caused by improper use of
the appliance).
– Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be
cleaned at a minimum distance of
20 ft. Otherwise the vehicle tyres/tyre
valve may be damaged by the high-
pressure jet. The first indication of
damage is discolouration of the tyre.
Damaged vehicle tyres can be highly
dangerous.
– Materials containing asbestos and other
substances which are detrimental to
health must not be sprayed down.
– Suitable protective clothing should be
worn to protect the operator from back-
spray.
– Always ensure that all connecting hoses
are securely screwed on.
– The gun trigger must not be clamped
when operating the appliance.
