Connecting To A Pressureless Water Supply; Connecting To Power Supply - Stihl RE 108 Notice D'emploi

English
Connection to the drinking water
main
When hooking up to the drinking water
main, a backflow preventer (Type BA in
accordance with EN 60335-2-79) must
be installed between the water tap and
the hose.
If drinking water has passed through the
backflow preventer, it can no longer be
regarded as drinking water.
Follow the rules laid down by the local
water supply company to prevent water
flowing back from the high-pressure
cleaner into the drinking water main.

Connecting to a
pressureless water supply
N
Connect the machine to the
pressurized water supply and start it
up briefly in accordance with the
Instruction Manual
N Switch off machine
N Disconnect the spray attachment
from the high-pressure hose
N Replace water intake hose with
suction hose (special accessory)
Always use the connecting element
supplied with the intake hose to connect
the hose. The standard connecting
elements are watertight only when used
with a pressurized water supply and for
this reason are not suitable for suction
operation.
N
Fill the suction hose with water and
immerse the suction cup of the
suction hose in the water tank – do
not use dirty water
As a rule, it is advisable to use a
water filter.
N Hold down the high-pressure hose
by hand
N Switch on the machine
N Wait until a steady jet exits the high-
pressure hose
N
Switch off machine
N Connect spray attachment
N Switch on the machine with the
spray gun open
N Actuate the spray gun several times
briefly in order to bleed the air out of
the machine as quickly as possible
Connecting to Power
Supply
The voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) must match
the voltage and frequency of the power
connection.
The minimum fuse protection of the
power connection must comply with the
specifications – see "Specifications".
The machine must be connected to the
power supply via an earth-leakage
circuit breaker to disconnect the power
supply if the differential current to earth
exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms.
The power connection must correspond
to IEC 60364-1 and relevant national
regulations.
When the machine is switched on,
voltage fluctuations that occur under
unfavorable mains conditions (high
power line impedance) may negatively
affect other connected electrical
appliances. Trouble is not anticipated at
power line impedances less than
0.15 ohms.
Extension Cords
Make sure your electrical cord set is in
good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized
extension cord may cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table below shows the
correct size (AWG) to use for your
machine (Cord types SJW or SJTW)
depending on cord length and
