Safety Devices

Safety devices serve for the protection of the
user and must not be put out of operation or
bypassed with respect to their function.
Safety catch
The safety catch on the trigger gun prevents
the appliance from being switched on unin-
tentionally.
Overflow valve
If the hand spray gun is closed, the overflow
valve opens and the high pressure pump di-
verts the water back to the pump suction
side. Thus the permissible working pressure
is not exceeded.
The overflow valve is set by the manufactur-
er and sealed. Setting only by customer
service.

valve is defective.
The safety valve is set by the manufacturer
and sealed. Setting only by customer serv-

Thermo-valve at the pump
The thermo-valve opens when the permissi-
ble water temperature is exceeded and lets
out the hot water into the open.

Parking brake

The parking brake prevents the appliance
from rolling off.
