However, not all applications allow the use of such a device. If shielded nozzles are not applicable for the protection against aerosols, a respiratory mask of class FFP 2 of equivalent may be needed, depending on the cleaning environment.

General safety instructions

• The minimum diameter of the water connection (hose) is 12.7mm (1/2”).

• The water supply must supply at least the water consumption of the device (330 l/h)! The pump must always be supplied with sufficient water. ’Dry operation’ causes damage.

• The water temperature may not exceed 40 °C.

• Only use clean water with this device. Impurities or aggressive chemicals damage the device!

• The voltage and frequency stated on the device must correspond to those of the socket. The electrical system must be approved (IEC 60364-1) and secured with an earth leak switch (max. 30 mA). Never make any changes to the plug or socket in order to adjust them! Defectiveness in the electric connection could result in a shock!29

• Damaged components (including plug, electric cable, hose and jet gun) must be replaced immediately by a technician trained for that purpose or a qualified electrician. Be sure to use only original parts; hoses and connections are also important for safety. Never carry out repairs by yourself.

• Never make any changes to the device, nozzle(s) or any other parts.

• Never cover the device, nozzle(s) or any other parts when using the device. Safety before and during operation

• Use the device only for home use, such as cleaning cars, boats, terraces, walls, garden equipment, etc.

• Check the device before each time you use it (including cable, plug, hose and jet gun) for any visible damage. Check especially the electric cable for faults or cracks. Do not use a damaged device or one that has not functioned properly when you used last. Give it to your supplier for repair or replacement.

• When using the device, unroll the cable entirely to prevent overheating. If an extension cable is unavoidable, use a cable of adequate thickness: 3x2.5mm². Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous! The female plug must be waterproof and the connection must be kept dry. Faulty extension cables are dangerous!

• Vehicle tyres and/or tyre valves can get damaged by high-pressure jets and can spring out. The initial sign of this is discolouring of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/tyre valves involve risk of life. When cleaning, observe a minimum jet distance of 30cm.

• In case of long breaks, switch off the device using the main switch or pull out the plug from the socket.

• Do not use the device in temperatures under 0°C.

• It is forbidden to use the device in areas or under circumstances that have risk of explosion.

• In case of accidents or electricity failure, switch off the device immediately.

• Use only clean water. If you use water that contains for example sand (from a well or something similar), you have to install an extra filter.

• In compliance with valid regulations, the device may not be connected to the drinking water network without a non-return valve. Make sure that your household water system to which the high-pressure cleaner is connected is equipped with a non-return valve.

• Take the device’s weight into account when selecting its storage location and during transport in order to prevent accidents and injuries.

• Release the residual pressure by squeezing the trigger a bit before you disconnect the hose from the product.

• Before each time you use the device and at regular intervals, check whether all the metal fasteners are sitting well and whether the components of the product are in good condition; inspect for broken or worn-out parts.30 Personal safety
