4.5 Safety devices
Caution - Danger!
Do not tamper with or adjust the safety valve setting.
- Safety valve and/or pressure limiting valve.
The safety valve is also a pressure limiting valve.
When the gun trigger is released, the valve opens and the water
recirculates through the pump inlet or is discharged onto the
ground.
- Thermostat valve (D1 where fitted)
If the water temperature exceeds the temperature set by the
manufacturer, the thermostat valve discharges the hot water and
draws in an amount of cold water equal to the amount of water
discharged, until the correct temperature is restored.
- Safety catch (D): prevents accidental spraying of water.
INSTALLATION FIG.2
5
5.1 Assembly
Caution - Danger!
All installation and assembly operations must be
performed with the appliance disconnected from the mains
power supply.
The assembly sequence is illustrated in fig.2.
5.2 Assembling the rotating nozzle
(For models with this feature)
The rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power.
Use of the rotating nozzle may cause of reduction in pressure of
25% compared to the pressure obtained with the adjustable nozzle.
However, the rotating nozzle kit delivers greater washing power due
to the rotation of the water jet.
5.3 Electrical connection
Caution - Danger!
Check that the electrical supply voltage and frequen-
cy (V-Hz) correspond to those specified on the appliance
data plate (fig.2). The appliance should only be connected
to a mains power supply equipped with an adequate earth
connection and a differential security breaker (30 mA) to cut
off the electricity supply in the instance of a short circuit.
5.3.1 Use of extension cables
Use cables and plugs featuring "IPX5" protection level.
The cross-section of the extension cable should be pro-
portionate to its length; the longer it is, the greater its
cross-section should be. See table I.
5.4 Water supply connection
Caution - Danger!
Only clean or filtered water should be used for intake.
The delivery of the water intake tap should be equal to that
of pump capacity.
Place the appliance as close to the water supply system as possible.
5.4.1 Connection points
● Water outlet (OUTLET)
■ Water inlet with filter (INLET)
