– If the hand spray gun is closed, the
overflow valve opens and the high pres-
sure pump diverts the water back to the
pump suction side. Thus the permissi-
ble working pressure is not exceeded.
– The overflow valve is set by the manu-
facturer and sealed. Setting only by
customer service.
– The safety valve opens when the over-
flow valve is defective.
– The safety valve is set by the manufac-
turer and sealed. Setting only by cus-
tomer service.
The thermo-valve opens when the permis-
sible water temperature is exceeded and
lets out the hot water into the open.
The pressure switch switches off the burner
when the working pressure falls below the
minimum value and switches it on again
when it is exceeded.
