Purpose
·
Use the appliance to clean machines, vehicles,
buildings, tools, etc.
·
Clean facades, patios, garden implements,
etc. with the high-pressure spray only, i.e.
without detergent. We recommend the dirt
blaster, a special accessory, for stubborn dirt.
·
Engines must only be cleaned in places which
have appropriate oil traps (protection of the
environment).
·
If the machine is used at petrol stations or in
other hazardous areas, the appropriate safety
regulations must be observed.

Connecting the power supply
·
See technical data of connected values.
·
Check whether the voltage shown on the
rating plate corresponds to that of the power
source.
Note:
If you are using an extension cable, it should
always be completely unwound from the
cable drum and have a sufficient cross-
sectional area:
10 m = 1.5 mm², 30 m = 2.5 mm²

Connecting the water supply
·
See technical data for connected values.
·
Connect a water supply hose (not supplied) to
the appliance and the water pipe.
Note:
Dirt in the feed water could lead to the
appliance being damaged. To avoid this
risk, we recommend fitting a filter.
A suitable filter with 1" connection is available
under Order No. 2.638-270.
Suction
Observe the following if you are drawing water
from an open container:
– Attach a suction hose with filter (order no.
4.440-238) directly to the appliance.
– Allow the pump to operate without the high-
pressure hose until water appears at the high-
pressure outlet without any more bubbles.
– Then re-attach the high-pressure hose.
