not use the high pressure hose as an draft cable. Maximal submitted working
pressure and temperature are printed one the high pressure hose. Let the
hoses cool off after hot water operation or operate the appliance briefly using

Never spray electric installations with water:
danger for persons, short circuit danger.
Sensitive parts not cleaning with the point jet. At cleaning pay attention to
sufficiently distance between the high pressure sprinkler and the surface to
avoid a damage of the surface to clean. During the use keep all protective
coverings and doors of the machine closed. Define the spray array clearly and
provide a delimited distance with minimum 6 m around the spray array. Remove
all loose elements within the spray array, they could blow away. Never spray
from an unstable duty station (ladder, small boat, wharf...). During working with
the machine repercussion strengths appear to the lance. If the lance stand
slanting, moreover occur a turn moment. For this reason hold the lance with
both hands.
Carry security clothing, security optical device and hearing protection!
• Spray lance:
Stop the engine, if the spray lance must be exchanged. Make sure the
protective cap is covering the sprinkler nozzle.
Fix the lance coupling firmly to the gun. Don't block the handle of the spray
gun when the spray gun is in use.
Before the spraying activities: always hold the spray lance downwards!
