Safety devices
Warning - danger!
Do not tamper with or adjust the safety valve setting.
- Safety valve and/or pressure limiting valve.
The safety valve is also a pressure limiting valve. When the gun
trigger is released, the valve opens and the water recirculates
through the pump inlet or is discharged onto the ground.
- Thermostat valve (D1 where fitted) If the water temperature
exceeds the temperature set by the manufacturer, the thermostat
valve discharges the hot water and draws in an amount of cold
water equal to the amount of water discharged, until the correct
temperature is restored.
- Safety catch (D): prevents accidental spraying of water.

INSTALLATION (FIG.2)/PAGE 4
6.1
Assembly
Warning - danger!
Remove the spark plug connector prior to performing
any work on the device.
The assembly sequence is illustrated in fig.2.
6.2
Fitting the pressure release caps
To prevent oil leaks, the appliance is delivered with the oil intakes
sealed with red caps which must be replaced with the pressure
release caps supplied.
6.3
Fitting the rotating nozzle
(For models with this feature).
The rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power.
Use of the rotating nozzle may cause a reduction in pressure of
25% compared to the pressure obtained with the adjustable nozzle.
However, the rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power due
to the rotation of the water jet.
6.4
Motor
Warning - danger!
Follow the instructions given in the section "Safety Notes"!
6.4.1
Read the operating instructions of the engine manufac-
turer before start-up and follow the safety instructions
carefully.
Check oil level of the engine. Do not operate the appliance
if the oil level has fallen below "MIN". If required, top up
oil carefully.
Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol. Do not use 2-speed
mixture.
6.5
Water supply connection
Warning - danger!
Only clean or filtered water should be supplied to
the appliance. The flow rate of the water inlet tap should be
equal to the pump flow rate.
Place the appliance as close to the water supply system as possible.
6.5.1
Connection points
l Water outlet (OUTLET)
n Water inlet with filter (INLET)
6.5.2
Connection to the mains water supply
The appliance may only be connected directly to the
mains drinking water supply if the supply hose is fitted
with a backflow preventer valve as per current regulations
in force. Make sure that the hose is at least Ø 13 mm, that
it is reinforced and that it is not more than 25 m long.
6.5.3
Suction of water from open containers
1) Screw the inlet hose with filter to the water INLET and
insert it down to the bottom of the container.
2) Vent the air from the appliance:
a) Unscrew the lance.
b) Start the appliance and keep the gun open until there
are no air bubbles in the water flowing out.
3) Switch the appliance off and screw the lance back on.
N.B.: the maximum suction height is 0.5 m. The suction
hose should be filled before use.
