On vehicles authorised for 100 km/h: Tyres must not be older than six years. In the event of damage, dents/ cracks on the side wall, tread separation etc., the tyres must be replaced immediately. High-pressure hose DANGER Risk of injury! ● Use only original high-pressure hoses. ● The high-pressure hose and the spray unit must be suitable for use at the maximum operating pressure specified in the technical data. ● Avoid contact with chemicals. ● Check the high-pressure hose daily. Do not contin- ue using kinked hoses. Do not continue using the high-pressure hose if the outer wire mesh layer is visible. ● Do not continue using the high-pressure hose with a damaged thread. ● Lay the high-pressure hose in such a way that it can- not be driven over. ● A hose that has been driven over, kinked or subject- ed to impacts may no longer be used, even if no damage is visible. ● Store the high-pressure hose in such a way that it is not subjected to any mechanical loads. Function ● The high pressure pump is driven by an intermedi- ate transmission by a diesel engine. ● Between the float container and the high-pressure pump, the water is heated via a heat exchanger lo- cated in the motor's cooling circuit. ● When the jet operation is interrupted, the overflow valve switches to pressure-free water circulation and the motor continues running at idle speed. ● The water is heated by a pressure-side burner with oil firing. ● During hot water operation, softening agents are added to the water. ● HDS 9/50, HDS 13/35 only (optional with HDS 13/ 20, HDS 17/20): The operating pressure can be se- lected via the speed control of the motor. ● HDS 13/20, HDS 17/20 only: The high-pressure pump draws detergent. The proportion of detergent in the water can be adjusted using a dosing valve. ● HDS 13/20, HDS 17/20 only (option): Attachment kit for removing weeds with hot water. ● HDS 13/20, HDS 17/20 only (option): Attachment kit for cleaning and disinfection with steam. Safety devices Safety devices protect the user and may not be disabled or functionally circumvented. Emergency stop switch ● For immediate shut down of all functions: Press the Emergency Stop switch. Safety button of front cover ● The device can only be put into operation if the front cover is closed. ● If the front cover is opened during operation, the de- vice shuts down and the indicator light front cover/ emergency stop is red. Overflow valve ● If the trigger gun is closed, the overflow valve opens and the high-pressure pump leads the water back into the float container. This prevents the maximum permissible working pressure from being exceeded. ● HDS 13/20, HDS 17/20 only: When the water quan- tity is reduced via the pressure/quantity control on the trigger gun, the overflow valve opens and part of the water flows into the float container or the water reservoirs (depending on the position of the ball tap return flow valve). ● The overflow valve is set and sealed at the factory. Setting must only be performed by Customer Ser- vice. Safety valve ● The safety valve opens if the overflow valve or pres- sure switch is faulty. ● The safety valve is adjusted and sealed at the facto- ry. The adjustment is performed only by customer service.
