Before use, check that the highpressure washer is safe and in proper condition. Regularly check whether the power cord is damaged or shows signs of ageing. [. . . ] When using an extension cord, connectors must be of watertight construction. When using an extension cord, check the minimum cross-sections of the cable: Cable length m up to 20 m 20 to 50 m Cross section <16 A <25 A ø1. 5mm² ø2. 5mm² ø2. 5mm² ø4. 0mm² Do not damage the mains power lead (e. g. by driving over it, pulling or crushing it). Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug only (do not pull or tug the power cord). Electrical equipment CAUTION!Never spray electrical equipment with water: danger for persons, risk of short-circuiting. The washer may only be connected to a correctly installed plug socket. Switching on the washer may cause voltage fluctuations. Voltage fluctuations should not occur if the impedance at the transfer point is less than 0. 15. If in doubt, ask your local electricity supplier. Safety Devices Unloader valve Unacceptably high pressure is fed back without residual pressure via a bypass line into the intake line of the pump when the safety device is tripped. The unloader valve is set and sealed at the factory and must not be adjusted. 45 2 Description 2. 1 Purpose This high-pressure washer has been designed for professional use within ­ Trade ­ Construction industry ­ Small-scale farming Always use the washer as described in these operating instructions.

NOTE: Set the machine in upright position when checking the pump oil. 3. 2 Connecting the high pressure hose 1. Screw the quick connector of the high pressure hose onto the nipple on the washer (7). 3. 3 Connecting the water supply ­ briefly to a pipe interrupter with moving section ­ with a free outlet See chapter 8. 3 Technical Data for required quantity of water and water pressure. In the case of poor water quality (sand, etc. ), we recommend that a fine water filter is fitted in the water inlet. Rinse the water supply hose briefly in order to prevent sand an other dirt particles entering into the machine. Connect water supply hose to the machine (3/4"). Open water tap. Do not connect the washer directly to the public drinking water mains. Observe the regulations of your water supply company to prevent backflow of water into the supply line.
