Switching on the unit
Electrical connection
Caution!
The voltage specified on the model rat-
ing plate must correspond to the voltage sup-
plied.
Caution!
The maximum tolerable mains
impedance at the electrical contact point (see
Technical Data) must not be exceeded.
Caution!
Use an extension cable with a sufficient
cable cross-section (see Technical Specifica-
tions) and unwind it fully from the cable drum.
For connected loads see model rating plate/
Technical Specifications.
Caution!
It is essential that the unit is connected
to the power supply by means of a plug. An in-
separable connection to the power supply is
prohibited. The plug is used to disconnect
from the mains.
Water connection/Suction feed
operation
Connection to water main
Caution!
Pay attention to the regulations of the
water supply company; according to DIN
1988, the unit may not be connected direct to
the public drinking water supply. A short-term
connection via a non-return valve
(Order no. 6.412-578) is allowed.
For connected loads see Technical Specifica-
tions.
Connect a supply hose (not supplied) to the
water outlet on the unit and to the water in-
let (e.g. water tap).
Open water inlet.
Suctioning water from an open container
Screw suction hose with filter
(Order no. 4.440-238) to the water outlet.
Vent the unit before using.
To evacuate air from the unit, unscrew the
nozzle and leave the unit running until wa-
ter exits with no air bubbles.
Switch off the unit and screw the nozzle
back on.
Operating the unit
Danger!
Observe the relative safety regulations
when using the unit at filling stations or other
high-risk areas.
Caution!
Only clean engines in places which
have appropriate oil separators (protection of
the environment).
Caution!
Only wash animals with the low-
pressure fan jet (see "Selecting the type of
spray").
Operating with high pressure
The unit is equipped with a pressure switch.
The motor only starts up when the lever is re-
tracted.
Unwind the high-pressure hose fully from
the cable drum.
Set the unit switch to "I". The indicator light
will go green.
Unlock the hand-held spray gun and retract
the lever of the gun.
Adjust operating pressure and flow rate
(+/–) by rotating the pressure/flow control
(infinitely variable).
At the lowest flow rate the waste heat from
the motor will heat the water to approx.
15 °C.
