

Wear protective clothing and safety 
goggles to protect against splash back 
containing water or dirt.

Caution



In case of extended downtimes, switch 
the appliance off at the main switch / ap-
pliance switch or remove the mains 
plug.



Do not operate the appliance at temper-
atures below 0 °C.



Observe a distance of at least 30 cm 
when using the jet to clean painted sur-
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.



Never leave the appliance unattended 
when it is in operation.



Make sure that the power cable or ex-
tension cables are not damaged by run-
ning over, pinching, dragging or similar. 
Protect the power cable from heat, oil, 
and sharp edges.



All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet 
water.



The appliance may only be connected 
to an electrical supply which has been 
installed in accordance with IEC 60364.



The appliance may only be connected 
to alternating current. The voltage must 
correspond with the type plate on the 
appliance.



For safety reasons, we recommend that 
you operate the appliance only via an 
earth-leakage circuit breaker (max. 
30 mA).



Cleaning operations which produce oily 
waste water, e.g. engine washes, un-
derbody washes, may only be carried 
out using washing stations equipped 
with an oil separator.

Caution

Safety devices protect the user and must 
not be modified or bypassed.

The appliance switch prevents unintention-
al operation of the appliance.

This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun 
and prevents the inadvertent start of the ap-
pliance.

The overflow valve prevents the permissi-
ble working pressure from being exceeded. 
If the lever on the trigger gun is released 
the pressure switch turns off the pump, the 
high pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is 
pulled the pump is turned on again.

Caution

Create stability for the appliance prior to all 
work on or with the appliance to prevent ac-
cidents or damage.

–

The stability of the appliance is warrant-
ed when it is placed onto an even sur-
face.
