Briefly rinse out the water hose before 
connecting it to the machine to prevent 
sand and other particles from entering 
the machine.
N Connect hose (3/4" diameter, length 
at least 10 m to absorb pressure 
surges)
N Mesh the jaws with each other and 
turn right as far as possible
N Turn on water supply
In suction operation, the machine can 
also be connected to rivers, lakes, 
cisterns and tanks, etc. – see 
"Connecting to a pressureless water 
supply".
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.
The high-pressure cleaner can only be 
used in suction operation with the 
suction set (special accessory).
As a rule, it is advisable to use a water 
filter.
N Connect the machine to the 
pressurized water supply and start it 
up briefly in accordance with the 
Instruction Manual
N Switch off the machine
N Disconnect the spray attachment 
from the high-pressure hose
N Unscrew the hose coupling from the 
water connection
N Connect the suction set to the water 
connection with the included 
connector
Always use the connector included in 
the suction set. The hose couplings 
included as standard with the high-
pressure cleaner are not leakproof in 
suction operation and thus are not 
suitable for drawing in water.
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 the machine
