Water connection

DANGER
– The high pressure hose must not be dam-
aged. A damaged high pressure hose
must be replaced immediately. Only hos-
es and joints recommended by the manu-
facturer may be used. See Operating In-
structions Manual for Order Number.
– Please ensure that screw connections
of all hoses are not leaky.
WARNING

of your water supply authority.
Application
DANGER
– The appliance and its working equip-
ment must be checked to ensure that it
is in proper working order and is operat-
ing safely prior to use.
The appliance must not be used if a con-
necting line or important parts of the appli-
ance, e.g. safety devices, high-pressure
hoses, spray guns, are damaged.
– Never draw in fluids containing solvents
or undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist thus generated is
highly inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents as they are aggres-
sive towards the materials from which
the appliance is made.
– If the appliance is used in hazardous ar-
eas (e.g. filling stations) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be ob-
served. It is not allowed to use the appli-
ance in hazardous locations.
– The appliance must be sitting on an
even, stable ground.
– All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
– The lever of the hand spray gun must
not be locked during the operation.
– High-pressure jets can be dangerous if
improperly used. The jet may not be di-
rected at persons, animals, live electri-
cal equipment or at the appliance itself.
16
– Vehicle tyres/ tyre valves may be
cleaned only with a minimum spray dis-
tance of 30 cm. Otherwise, the high
pressure spray can cause damage to
the vehicle tyre/ tyre valve. The discol-
ouring of the tyre is the first sign of dam-
age. Damaged vehicle tyres are a
source of danger.
– Switch off the appliance in case of long-
er operational breaks.
WARNING
– The jet must not be directed at other
persons or directed by the user at him/
herself to clean clothing or footwear.
– Do not spray materials containing as-
bestos or other health-hazardous sub-
stances.
– Prior to cleaning, a risk assessment
must be performed for the surface to be
cleaned to determine the safety and
health requirements. The respective re-
quired protective measures must be
taken.
– With short spray lances, there is a risk
of injury, as a hand can accidentally
come in contact with the high pressure
jet. If the spray lance is shorter than 75
cm, you must not use a point spray noz-
zle or a rotor nozzle.
CAUTION
– Wear ear plugs if the operating instruc-
tions of the appliance (Technical data)
mention a noise level of more than 80
dB(A).
– Wear protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect against splash back
containing water or dirt.
– Let the hoses cool off after hot water op-
eration or operate the appliance briefly
using cold water.
DANGER
– The operator must use the appliance
properly. The person must consider the
local conditions and must pay attention
to third parties, in particular children,
when working with the appliance.
– Place the appliance on firm surface.
