ous if subject to misuse.
Power Supply
The voltage indicated on the rating plate must corre-
spond to the voltage of the power source.
Class 1 units may only be connected to properly earthed
power sources.
We recommend that this equipment is only connected
into a socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that
would be actuated by a 30 mA residual current.
If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be
of a water tight construction.
Warning: Inadequate extension cords can be danger-
ous.
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cable or
extension lead, otherwise it may be damaged. Protect
the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
The extension lead must have a cross section in accord-
ance with the operating instructions and be protected
against splashed water. The connection must not be in
water.
Water connection
Comply with the regulations of your water supply com-
pany.
All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (danger
of bursting). A damaged high-pressure hose must be re-
placed immediately. Only use hoses and connections
recommended by the manufacturer.

are in perfect condition and are safe to operate. Do not
use the unit if it is not in perfect condition.
Never draw in solvent-containing liquids, undiluted acids
or solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinners heating

these corrode the materials used on the unit.

The gun trigger must not be jammed in the "ON" position
during operation.
Suitable protective clothing must be worn if necessary to
protect against splashing from some parts.
Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned from a
minimum distance of 30 cm, otherwise the vehicle tyre/
tyre valve could be damaged by the high-pressure jet.
The first indication of this is a discoloration of the tyre.
Damaged vehicle tyres/tyre valves can be deadly dan-
gerous.
Materials containing asbestos and other materials which
contain substances which are hazardous to your health
must not be sprayed.
Only use detergents which have been approved by the
manufacturer of the unit.
Detergents must not be used undiluted. The products
are safe to use as they contain no acids, alkalis or sub-
stances which are detrimental to the environment. We
recommend that the detergents are kept out of the reach
of children. If detergent comes into contact with the eyes
wash immediately with plenty of water and if swallowed
contact a doctor immediately.

The water jet from the high-pressure nozzle produces a
recoil on the gun. You should therefore hold the gun and
