Illustration G Operation ATTENTION Pump running dry Damage to the device If pressure does not build up in the device after 2 min- utes then switch the device off and proceed according to the instructions in chapter Troubleshooting guide. Power Control System Note The sensitivity of materials can vary greatly depending on age and condition. The recommendations are there- fore not binding. High-pressure operation ATTENTION Damage to painted or sensitive surfaces Surfaces can be damaged when the jet is too close to the surface or an unsuitable spray lance is used. Maintain a minimum spray distance of 30 cm when cleaning painted surfaces. Do not clean car tyres, paint or sensitive surfaces such as wood with the dirt grinder.
