fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before
using.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
Bosch Power Tools
Corrective Measure
Check that mains voltage corresponds to specific-
ations on the model tag
Allow to cool for 15 minutes
Switch to another circuit that allows for higher
power consumption.
Clean nozzle
Check that the voltage of the mains power supply
line is the same as that on the plate.
Check characteristics of extension cable
Contact your Bosch Service Centre
Contact your Bosch Service Centre
Allow pressure washer to run with open spray
handle and nozzle at low pressure until regular
working pressure is obtained
Check that the water supply corresponds to spe-
cifications. The minimum specification for the wa-
ter supply hose is 1/2" or 13 mm diameter
Clean water filter
Straighten out kinked water supply hoses
Remove high pressure extension hose. Retry (ex-
tension hose max. 7 m)
Change the nozzle
Activate trigger five times in quick succession
Connect water supply
Clean the filter
Clean nozzle
Contact your Bosch Service Centre
