Transport
For safe transport in and on vehicles we recommend to prevent the equipment from sliding and tilting by fixing it with
belts. For transport and storage at temperatures around or below 0 °C, anti-freeze should be drawn into the pump befo-
rehand (Please refer to Operating Instructions).
Water connection
This machine is only allowed to be connected with the potable water mains, when an appropriate backflow
preventer has been installed, Type BA, according to EN 60335-2-79. The length of the hose between the backflow
preventer and the machine must be at least 12 meters (min diameter 3/4 inch) to absorb possible pressure peaks. Ope-
ration by suction (for example from a rainwater vessel) is carried out without backflow preventer. If needed, please con-
tact the STORCH Technology Hotline on 0800 / 7867247 (free call in Germany).
WARNING!
Water that has flowed through backflow preventer and high pressure washer is considered to be non-potable.
Safety devices
Unloader valve: Unacceptably high pressure is fed back without residual pressure via a bypass line into the intake line
of the pump when the safety device is tripped. The unloader valve is set and sealed at the factory and must not be
adjusted. Locking device on spray handle: The spray handle features a locking device. When the pawl is activated, the
spray handle cannot be operated.
Maintenance and repair
WARNING!
Always switch off when leaving the machine unattended and before carrying out maintenance work or cleaning of the
machine.
NOTE:
Before cleaning and maintenance of the high pressure washer, always remove the spark plug cable. Carry out only the
maintenance operations described in the operating instructions. To ensure machine safety, use only original STORCH
spare parts. Do not make any technical modifications to the high-pressure washer. Ensure that the machine is regularly
serviced by authorized STORCH dealers in accordance with the maintenance plan. Failure to do so will invalidate the
warranty.
CAUTION!
High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the cleaner. Use only high-pressure spare
parts approved by STORCH. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons to prevent hazards.
