Warning

„

Unsuitable extension cables can be haz-
ardous. Only use extension cables out-
doors which have been approved for this 
purpose and labelled with a sufficient ca-
ble cross section:
1 - 10 m: 1,5 mm

2   

10 - 30 m: 2,5 mm

„

Check the high-pressure hose for damage 
before every use. Please arrange for the 
immediate exchange of a damaged high-
pressure hose.

„

High-pressure hoses, fixtures and cou-
plings are important for the safety of the 
appliance. Only use high-pressure hoses, 
fixtures and couplings recommended by 
the manufacturer.

„

Do not use the appliance when there are 
other persons around unless they are also 
wearing safety gear. 

„

Cleaning operations which produce oily 
waste water, e.g. engine washes, under-
body washes, may only be carried out us-
ing washing stations equipped with an oil 
separator.

Note

„

The appliance must not be operated by 
children or persons who have not been in-
structed accordingly.

„

The operator must use the appliance 
properly. When working with the appli-
ance, he must consider the local condi-
tions and pay due care and attention to 
other persons, in particular children, who 
are nearby.

„

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

„

Wear protective clothing and safety gog-
gles to protect against back spray contain-
ing water or dirt.

„

Never leave the appliance unattended 
when it is in operation.

„

This appliance was designed to be used 
with detergents which are supplied or rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. The use 
of other detergents or chemicals may 
compromise the safety of the appliance.

„

Make sure that the power cable or exten-
sion cables are not damaged by running 

over, pinching, dragging or similar. Protect 
the power cable from heat, oil, and sharp 
edges.

„

The connection between the power cable 
and extension cable must not lie in water.

 

„

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

„

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

„

The appliance may only be connected to 
alternating current. The voltage must cor-
respond with the type plate on the appli-
ance.

„

The minimum fuse rating required at the 
socket outlet is 10 A (slow-blow).

„

To avoid accidents due to electrical faults 
we recommend the use of sockets with a 
line-side current-limiting circuit breaker 
(max. 30 mA nominal tripping current).

„

The plug and coupling of the extension ca-
ble used must be watertight.

„

Always fully unroll electrical cables from 
the cable drum.

Safety devices prevent injury and may not be 
modified or bypassed.

The switch prevents unintended starting of the 
appliance. Stop the appliance during breaks 
or after operation.

The safety catch on the trigger gun prevents 
the appliance from being switched on uninten-
tionally.

The high pressure hose is specially construct-
ed with reinforced walls to handle water pres-
sure up to 13 MPa (1900 psi) - it is easily 
damaged and should be stored carefully.

„

Do not kink.

„

Do not drive vehicles over the hose.

„

Do not expose the hose to sharp edges or 
corners.

Misuse will lead to ballooning or premature 
failure and will invalidate warranty.
