ATTENTION Switch-on proce- dures will generate short-term voltage drops. Unfavourable mains conditions may cause other devices to be impaired. In case of a network impedance of less than 0.15 ohms, no mal- functions are to be expected. Water connection 몇 WARNING The screw con- nections of all connection hoses must be leak-tight. Do not ex- ceed the maximum permissible water supply temperature. Route the hose lines in a safe manner. ATTENTION Use only hose lines rated for the operating pressure, mechanical loads and chemical loads present. Do not bend the hose lines beyond the minimum permissible bending radius. Replace the hose lines at appropriate intervals, even when no defects are visible. Hose lines have a limited ser- vice life. Observe the regula- tions at your water distribution company. High-pressure connection DANGER Use hose sleeves, protective covers or shields to eliminate hazards pre- sented by the hose lines. 몇 WARNING The device must not be started up if the high- pressure hose is damaged. Re- place a damaged high-pressure hose at once. Only those hoses and connections recommended by the manufacturer may be used. For order no. see operat- ing instructions. Do not subject the hose lines to mechanical, chemical or thermal loads. The screw connections of all high- pressure hoses must be leak- tight. Tighten the screw con- nections to a maximum tighten- ing torque of 20 Nm. Use a hose catching fixture. Use only high-pressure hoses and acces- sories having a rated operating pressure of at least the same as the device. Check the high- pressure hoses daily. Do not use kinked high-pressure hos- es. Do not use high-pressure hoses having a visible outer wire mesh. Do not use high-pres-14 English sure hoses having a damaged thread. Do not use high-pres- sure hoses that have been driv- en over or subjected to impacts, even if no damage is visible. Route high-pressure hoses so that they cannot be driven over.

Leaking fluid can cause injuries. Do not search for leaks with your bare hands. 몇 CAUTION Store the high- pressure hoses so that they are not subjected to any mechanical loads. Operation DANGER Incorrect initial startup of an ultra-high-pressure cleaner is dangerous and can to lead to severe injuries or death in some cases. Operate the device only when all hoods, cov- ers and electrical cabinets are closed. Never leave the device unsupervised while it is in oper- ation. In the case of an energy supply malfunction, switch off the device to prevent it from re- starting uncontrollably when the malfunction has been corrected. l Secure the device to prevent unauthorised use during work breaks. Do not work with the device when under the influence of medication of alcohol. Se- cure the work area in a clearly visible manner against unau- thorised access. Erect warning signs and cordon off the area. Only the operator is permitted to be present in the work area (within a radius of 10 m). Take suitable measures to secure yourself against falling when working on scaffolding. The re- coil forces occurring present a risk of falling. Always stand on stable ground when working. You must always be standing securely. Adjust the nozzle and operating pressure to suit each other so that the resulting recoil force can be kept under control by the operator. The recoil force must not exceed 250 N (25 kp).

Use only pipe cleaning accesso- ries having a marking allowing timely recognition of the nozzle outlet. The clearance between the nozzle and marking should be 500 mm. Insert pipe clean- ing accessories at least 500 mm into the pipe to be cleaned be- fore activating the high-pressure jet. When using the device in hazard zones (e.g. service sta- tions), adhere to the respective safety regulations. Operation in explosive atmospheres is pro- hibited. Never suction sol- vents, liquids containing solvents or undiluted acids. This includes e.g. petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is highly flammable, explosive and poisonous. 몇 WARNING Eliminate dan- gerous situations immediately. English 15 Observe the applicable national work safety regulations when working in enclosed spaces.

recoil force will arise due to the water stream ejecting from the spray lance. An angular spray lance produces a force that acts in upward direction. Make sure you grip the gun and spray lance firmly. Do not aim the high- pressure jet at yourself, e.g. to clean clothes or shoes. Do not direct the high-pressure jet at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the device itself. l Do not spray any objects which contain harmful substanc- es (e.g. asbestos). Check the device and the accessories, such as the high-pressure hose, high-pressure gun and safety devices, to make sure they are in proper safe and reliable con- dition before each operation. Do not use the device if it is dam- aged. Replace damaged com- ponents immediately. 몇 CAUTION Keep the work area clean and tidy. Equip a manually held spray unit with a body support if the recoil force exceeds 150 N (15 kp). Never leave the device unsupervised while it is in operation. Never open the cover while the motor is running. Never clamp the le- ver of the high-pressure gun during operation. The device must be placed on an even, firm subsurface. ATTENTION Observe the local accident prevention guidelines and the safety instructions. Do not operate the device at tem- peratures below 0 °C. Note

Observe the legislature’s national accident prevention regu- lations. Liquid jet cleaners must be tested regularly and the results of the test recorded in writing. Operation with detergent 몇 CAUTION Keep the deter- gent out of the reach of children. l When using detergents, ob- serve the safety data sheet of the detergent manufacturer, in particular instructions on protec- tive gear. Only use the deter- gents supplied or specified by the manufacturer. The use of other detergents or chemicals can impair the safety of the de- vice. Never use the recom- mended detergents undiluted. These products are operational- ly safe since they do not contain any acids, alkali or substances that are harmful to the environ- ment. Should detergents come into contact with eyes, rinse these out immediately and thor- oughly using water and seek medical attention immediately. The same applies if detergents are swallowed.16 English Device with a hand-arm vibration value > 2.5 m/s² (see chapter Technical Data in the operating instructions) 몇 CAUTION Using the device for longer peri- ods can cause poor circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general period of use cannot be set, because this depends on several influencing factors: Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (fre- quently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fingers) Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect your hands. Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circulation. Continuous operation is more harmful than operation inter- rupted by work breaks. You should see a doctor if using the device regularly and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of repeated occurrenc- es of symptoms such as tingling in the fingers or cold fingers. Devices with pneumatic tyres

In case of devices with screw-in wheel rims: Make sure that all wheel rim bolts are tightened securely before setting the tyre filling pressure.

Make sure that the pressure reducer is set correctly on the compressor before setting the tyre filling pres- sure.

Never exceed the maxi- mum permissible tyre filling pressure. The tyre filling pressure needs to be read on the tyre and if necessary on the wheel rim. If these values differ, use the small- er value. Hot water and petrol driven devices, devices with a combustion engine DANGER Explosion hazard due to unsuitable fuel. Only fill the fuel specified in the operat- ing instructions. Switch off the motor before refuelling. Do not refuel in confined spaces. 몇 WARNING Exhaust gases are toxic.
