▪
If an extension cable is used, the plug and the socket must be waterproof and comply with
the below-mentioned requirements for length and cable dimensions.
− 1.0 mm² max. 12.5 m
− 1.5 mm² max. 20 m
▪
If the electric cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his service
agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
6.1
Mains power connection
The following should be observed when connecting the high pressure washer to the electric
installation:
▪
The electric supply connection shall be made by a qualified electrician and comply with
IEC 60364-1
▪
It is recommended that the electric supply to this appliance should include either a residual
current device that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA
for 30 ms.
6.2
Water connection
▪
Connection to the public mains according to regulations.
▪
Inlet hose can be connected to the water mains with a max. inlet pressure of 12 bars.
This high pressure washer is in Europe only allowed to be connected with the
drinking water mains, when an appropriate mains backflow preventer has been
installed, Type BA according to EN 1717. The length of the hose between the
backflow preventer and the high pressure washer must be at least 10 metres to
absorb possible pressure peaks (min diameter ½ inch).
▪
As soon as water has flown through the BA valve, this water is not considered to be
drinking water any more.
IMPORTANT! Only use water without any impurities. If there is a risk of
sand particles in the inlet water (i.e. from your own well), an additional filter
should be mounted.
6.3
Safety devices
▪
The unloader valve can reduce pressure if it exceeds pre-set values.
▪
Locking device on trigger gun (9): The trigger gun (8) features a locking device (9). When
the knob is activated, the trigger gun (8) cannot be operated.
▪
A thermal sensor protects the motor against overloading. The machine will restart after a
few minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled.
