Danger
Risk of injury! Follow the respective safety
regulations when operating at gas stations
or other dangerous areas.
Safety devices serve for the protection of
the user and must not be put out of opera-
tion or bypassed with respect to their func-
tion.
If the hand spray gun is closed, the over-
flow valve opens and the high pressure
pump diverts the water back to the pump
suction side. Thus the permissible working
pressure is not exceeded.
The overflow valve is set by the manufac-
turer and sealed. Setting only by customer
service.
