Connection to the drinking water 
main
When hooking up to the drinking water 
main, a backflow preventer (Type BA in 
accordance with EN 60335-2-79) must 
be installed between the water tap and 
the hose.
If drinking water has passed through the 
backflow preventer, it can no longer be 
regarded as drinking water.
Follow the rules laid down by the local 
water supply company to prevent water 
flowing back from the high-pressure 
cleaner into the drinking water main.
N Connect the machine to the 
pressurized water supply and start it 
up briefly in accordance with the 
Instruction Manual
N Switch off machine
N Disconnect the spray attachment 
from the high-pressure hose
N Replace water intake hose with 
suction hose (special accessory)
Always use the connecting element 
supplied with the intake hose to connect 
the hose. The standard connecting 
elements are watertight only when used 
with a pressurized water supply and for 
this reason are not suitable for suction 
operation.
N Fill the suction hose with water and 
immerse the suction cup of the 
suction hose in the water tank – do 
not use dirty water
N Hold down the high-pressure hose 
by hand
N Switch on the machine
N Wait until a steady jet exits the high-
pressure hose
N Switch off machine
N Connect spray attachment
N Switch on the machine with the 
spray gun open
N Actuate the spray gun several times 
briefly in order to bleed the air out of 
the machine as quickly as possible
The voltage and frequency of the 
machine (see rating plate) must match 
the voltage and frequency of the power 
connection.
The minimum fuse protection of the 
power connection must comply with the 
specifications – see "Specifications".
The machine must be connected to the 
power supply via an earth-leakage 
circuit breaker to disconnect the power 
supply if the differential current to earth 
exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms.
The power connection must correspond 
to IEC 60364-1 and relevant national 
regulations.
When the machine is switched on, 
voltage fluctuations that occur under 
unfavorable mains conditions (high 
power line impedance) may negatively 
affect other connected electrical 
appliances. Trouble is not anticipated at 
power line impedances less than 
0.15 ohms.
Extension Cords
Make sure your electrical cord set is in 
good condition. When using an 
extension cord, be sure to use one 
heavy enough to carry the current your 
product will draw. An undersized 
extension cord may cause a drop in line 
voltage resulting in loss of power and 
overheating. The table below shows the 
correct size (AWG) to use for your 
machine (Cord types SJW or SJTW) 
depending on cord length and
