This SB washing bay is used for cleaning vehicles and
trailers with water and detergent additives.
Cleaning humans and animals is improper use and
● is prohibited.
The high-pressure water jet presents a substantial
risk of injury.
● Loose objects.
Loose objects can be propelled away at high speed
by the high-pressure water jet and injure persons or
damage other objects.
A category 5 system isolation must be installed between
the system and the drinking water network to isolate the
system from the drinking water network. Locally appli-
cable regulations must also be observed.
ATTENTION
Dirty water leads to premature wear or deposits in
the device.
Clean the device using only clean water, or recycled wa-
ter that does not exceed the following limits:
● pH value: 6.5...9.5
● electrical conductivity: maximum conductivity of
fresh water 1000 µS/cm
● Hydrocarbons: < 0.01 mg/l
● Chloride: < 250 mg/l
● Calcium: < 200 mg/l
● Total hardness: < 28 °dH, < 50° TH, < 500 ppm (mg
CaCO /l)

To ensure correct extraction of the burner exhaust gas-
es, the system may only be operated outdoors. When
erected under a roof or in a closed room, the system
must be connected to a chimney to extract the exhaust
gases. When connected to a chimney, the burner must
be re-adjusted and the exhaust gas values must be
check by the chimney sweep responsible.
ATTENTION

Frost can damage the system under certain circum-
stances.
The device is frost-proof down to -20°C under the con-
ditions specified in the section "Frost protection" and
