General
Use of the high-pressure cleaner is subject to the appli-
cable local regulations. Besides the operating instructions
and the binding accident prevention regulations valid in the
country of use, observe recognised regulations for safety
and proper use. Do not use any unsafe work techniques. Do
not tie the trigger handle open.
Transport
For safe transport in and on vehicles we recommend pre-
venting the equipment from sliding and tilting. Secure it
with belts. For transport at temperatures around or below
0° C, anti-freeze liquid should be drawn into the pump and
boiler beforehand (see chapter 6).
Before starting the cleaner
Each time prior to putting the appliance into service, al-
ways check the power supply cord and the other import-
ant parts of the appliance, such as the highpressure hose
and the spray gun. Do not operate the appliance if any of
these parts are damaged. Set up the appliance such that
the mains connector is readily accessible. Regularly check
whether the mains lead is damaged or shows signs of ag-
eing. Use the highpressure cleaner only when the mains
power lead is in a safe condition. If the mains power lead
is damaged, to avoid hazards, this must be replaced either
by the manufacturer or through his customer service or a
similarly qualified person.
WARNING!
Unsuitable extension leads can represent a source of dan-
ger. Always unwind lead from the reels completely to pre-
vent the mains power lead overheating.
Connectors and couplings of power supply cords and exten-
sion leads must be watertight.
When using an extension lead, check the minimum
cross-sections of the cable:
Cable length Cross section
< 16 A
up to 20 m ø 1,5 mm²
20 m to 50 m ø 2,5 mm²
Check the rated voltage of the high-pressure cleaner before
connecting it to the mains power supply. Ensure that the
voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the volta-
ge of the local mains power supply.
It is important that the electrical connection for this appli-
ance has been installed by an electrician and in compliance
with IEC 60364 and the country-specific regulations.
We recommend that the electrical connection to this appli-
ance should incorporate
– either a fault current circuit breaker, which cuts off the
mains voltage if the fault current exceeds 30 mA
for 30 ms,
– or an earth resistance meter.
Check that cleaning will not result in dangerous substances
(e.g. asbestos, oil) being washed off the object to be cle-
aned and harming the environment. Do not clean delicate
Original instruction
parts made of rubber, fabric, etc. with the 0° jet. Keep
some distance between high pressure nozzle and surface
in order to prevent the surface from damage.
Do not use the high-pressure hose for lifting loads. The
maximum permissible working pressure and temperature
are printed on the highpressure hose.
Never operate the cleaner without water. Even brief shor-
tages of water result in severe damage to the pump seals.
This high pressure washer/cleaner is only allowed to be
connected with the drinking watermains, when an appro-
priate backflow preventer has been installed, Type BA
according to EN 60335-2-79. If the back flow preventer
hasn't been supplied, one can be ordered from your dealer.
The length of the hose between the backflow preventer
and the high pressure washer must be at least 6 metres
(min diameter 3/4 inch) to absorb possible pressure peaks.
Operation by suction (for example from a rainwater ves-
sel) is carried out without backflow preventer. Contact your
dealer for suction set recommendations. As soon as water
has flown through the BA valve, this water is not conside-
red to be drinking water any more.
Operation
Keep cabinet closed during operation. Do not damage the
mains power lead (e.g. by driving over it, pulling or crus-
hing it). Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug only
(do not pull or tug the power cord).

IMPORTANT!
This appliance has been devised for use with cleansing
ø 2,5 mm²
agents that are supplied and recommended by the manu-
ø 4,0 mm²
facturer. The use of other cleansing agents or chemicals
can impair the safety of the appliance.
WARNING!
The appliance is intended to be used with heating oil EL or
diesel oil. Unsuitable fuels (e.g. petrol) must not be used
as they can represent a source of danger. If the machine is
to be operated at fuel stations or in other potentially ha-
zardous areas, the machine may only be employed outside
the hazard areas defined in the German „Technical Guide-
lines for Inflammable Fluids" applicable at the point of use
due to the potential explosion hazard posed by the burner.
When setting up the appliance indoors, always ensure sui-
table ventilation and that the exhaust gases are expelled in
a suitable way. We will be glad to provide tips for connec-
tion systems, on request. If the machine is to be connected
to a flue gas stack, then local building regulations must be
observed. We will be glad to provide tips for connection
systems, on request.
