Before starting work
Only connect the high-pressure cleaner 
to the drinking water main in conjunction 
with a backflow preventer – see "Special 
accessories".
Warning!
– If drinking water has passed 
through the backflow preventer, it 
can no longer be regarded as 
drinking water.
Do not use the machine with dirty water.
If there is a risk that dirty water will occur 
(e. g., flowing sand), an appropriate 
water filter must be used.
Inspecting the high-pressure cleaner
Warning!
– The high-pressure cleaner should 
only be used if it is in full working 
order – risk of accident!
– It must be possible to move the 
switch to the 0 position easily
– The switch must be in the 0 position
– Inspect the high-pressure hose, 
spray attachment and safety 
mechanisms for damage
– High-pressure hose and spray 
attachment in good condition 
(clean, moving easily) and correctly 
assembled
– For good control of the machine, the 
handles should be clean and dry 
with no oil or dirt on them
– Check the oil level
– Never attempt to modify the controls 
or safety devices
Electrical connection
Warning!
Minimize the risk of electrical shock:
– Voltage and frequency of the 
machine (see rating plate) must 
match the voltage and frequency of 
the mains supply
– Examine the power cord, power 
plug and extension cord for 
damage. Damaged cords, 
couplings and plugs or power cords 
that do not comply with the 
regulations must not be used
– Only connect the machine to a 
correctly installed power socket
– The insulation on the power cord 
and any extension cord, the plug 
and the coupling must be fully intact
– Never touch the power plug, power 
cord and extension cord and 
electrical plug connections with wet 
hands
Warning!
Route the power cord and extension 
cord properly:
– Observe the minimum cross-section 
of the individual cords – see 
"Connecting the machine to the 
power supply"
– Route and mark the power cord so 
that it cannot become damaged and 
no one is endangered – danger of 
stumbling!
– Use of unsuitable extension cords 
can be dangerous. Use only 
extension cords that are approved 
for outdoor use and are 
correspondingly marked and have a 
sufficient cross-section
– The connector and coupling of the 
extension cord must be waterproof 
and not lie in water
– It is advisable to keep the plug 
connection at least 60 mm above 
the ground/floor. for example, by 
using a cable reel
– don't let the cord rub against edges 
or pointed or sharp objects
– don't squeeze the cord under doors 
or windows
– if cords become snarled – unplug 
the power plug and unsnarl the cord
– always unroll the power cord from 
the cable reel completely to avoid 
risk of fire due to overheating
Do not connect the high-
pressure cleaner directly 
to the drinking water 
main.
