WARNING
Read this manual carefully before using the machine, for your own safety.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using the machine, always observe the enclosed safety instructions as well as
the additional safety instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HIGH-PRESSURE CLEANERS
High-pressure cleaners must not be used by children or untrained persons.
Attention: when switching on the machine it kicks back by the force of outgoing water.
Never use the machine near human beings, unless they are wearing protective clothing.
Never point the water jet to yourself or others to clean clothing or footwear.
Never point the water jet to the machine itself. Never point the water jet to electrical
wiring or power outlets because of risk of electric shock.
If you use an extension cord, it must be of a watertight construction.
Warning: using the wrong type of extension cord can be dangerous!
Warning: high-pressure hoses, couplings, etc. are important for the safety of the machine.
Only use high-pressure hoses, couplings, etc. which are recommended by the manufacturer.
Keep the high-pressure hose connected to the machine as long as the system is
under pressure. Disconnecting the high pressure hose while the system is under
pressure is dangerous.
Do not use acids or flammable liquids in the machine. Only use detergents with ph-value of 6-8.
Never use the machine if the connecting line, safety provisions or other important parts have been damaged.
Only use spare parts from the manufacturer or which have been approved by the
manufacturer.
Always remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any maintenance.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
DESCRIPTION
Your high-pressure cleaner has been designed for outdoors cleaning of stone, wood, metal and plastic materials.
Mounting the lance
Connect both parts of the lance by fitting the bayonet on the nozzle in the joint of the pistol.
Before mounting or removing the lance, always remove the plug from the wall socket first.
Connecting the high-pressure hose
Screw the coupling nut to the high-pressure hose on connection (4). Tighten the coupling nut firmly.
Connecting to the water supply
Connect a garden hose which has been connected to the water mains directly or
via a reducing nipple to the connection.
Instructions for use
Fully open the tap of the water mains before switching on the machine.
Hold the trigger of the pistol grip until all air is released from the hose.
As soon as water starts flowing out of the nozzle, release the trigger and switch on the machine.
Take hold of the pistol grip and move the lance evenly along the surface to be cleaned.
Direct the nozzle as required in order to achieve optimal cleaning results.
Determining the correct distance for the water jet is a matter of experience.
Close the tap of the water mains after having switched off the machine.
Hold the trigger of the pistol grip until the pressure is off the system.
Never let the machine run idle for more than 2 minutes. Within that period the temperature of
the water in the system can become so high that the pump will be damaged beyond repair.
Switching on and off
To switch the machine on, set the on/off switch to 'I'.
To switch the machine off, set the on/off switch to '0'.
