plings are important for the safety of the
appliance. Only use high-pressure hos-
es, fixtures and couplings recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
 This appliance is not intended for use
by persons with reduced physical, sen-
sory or mental capabilities.
The appliance must not be operated by
children or persons who have not been
instructed accordingly.
Children should be supervised to pre-
vent them from playing with the appli-
ance.
 Keep packaging film away from children
- risk of suffocation!
 This appliance was designed to be
used with detergents which are sup-
plied or recommended by the manufac-
turer. The use of other detergents or
chemicals may compromise the safety
of the appliance.
 The operator must use the appliance
correctly. When working with the appli-
ance, he must consider the local condi-
tions and pay due care and attention to
other persons, in particular children,
who are nearby.
 Risk of hearing impairment. Always use
proper ear-protection aids while work-
ing with the appliance.
 Do not use the appliance when there
are other persons around unless they
are also wearing safety equipment.
 Wear protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect against splash back
containing water or dirt.
 When operating the machine, do not
place it in such a way that it can cause
damage to persons, for e.g. on scaffold-
ings, etc.
 Long hours of using the appliance can
cause circulation problems in the hands
on account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid
operation time, since this depends on sev-
eral factors:
– Proneness to blood circulation deficien-
cies (cold, numb fingers).
– Low ambient temperature. Wear warm
gloves to protect hands.
– Continuous operation is worse than an
operation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of
the device and in case of repeated occur-
rence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fin-
gers) please consult a physician.
Caution

Observe a distance of at least 30 cm
when using the jet to clean painted sur-
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.
 Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
 All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
 Always use appropriate gloves while
working on the device.
 Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, un-
derbody washes, may only be carried
out using washing stations equipped
with an oil separator.

Safety devices protect the user and must
not be modified or bypassed.
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun
and prevents the inadvertent start of the ap-
pliance.
The thermostat valve prevents the pump
from over-heating.
The circulation heats up the water. At 60 °C
water temperature, the thermostat valve
opens and lets out hot water.
