Only connect the high-pressure cleaner
to the drinking water main in conjunction
with a backflow preventer – see "Special
accessories".
WARNING
If drinking water has passed
–
through the backflow preventer, it
can no longer be regarded as
drinking water.
Do not use the machine with dirty water.
If there is a risk that dirty water will occur
(e. g., flowing sand), an appropriate
water filter must be used.
Inspect the high-pressure cleaner
Check that the high-pressure cleaner is
in full working order. Pay particular
attention to the high-pressure hose, the
spray attachment, the safety parts and
the fuel system. Note the relevant
chapter of the instruction manual:
WARNING
The high-pressure cleaner should
–
only be used if it is in full working
order – risk of accident!
It must be possible to move the
–
switch to the 0 position easily
The switch must be in the 0 position
–
Check that the spark plug boot is
–
secure. A loose boot can lead to
flying sparks which may ignite the
escaping fuel/air mixture – risk of
fire!
Inspect the high-pressure hose,
–
spray attachment and safety
mechanisms for damage
RB 302, RB 402 PLUS
High-pressure hose and spray
