Water supply
Caution! Impurities in the intake water damage the
pump. To prevent this we expressly urge you to use
a water filter.
The operation of the high-pressure cleaner with a
closed water supply line causes damage to the
cylinder head unit. Please never operate the high-
pressure cleaner with a closed water supply tap.
The unit can either be supplied from the water main
or from water in an open container.
Water supply from the water main
• Connect a supply hose (not included) to the water
inlet of the unit and to the water supply (e.g. water
tap).
• Open the water supply.
Water supply from an open container
• Screw the suction hose with filter (not included)
onto the water connection of the unit.
• Hang the filter in the container.
• Vent the unit before operation.
– Unscrew the high-pressure line at the high-pres-
sure outlet of the unit.
– Switch on the unit and let it run until water free
of bubbles emerges at the high-pressure outlet.
– Switch off the unit and screw on the high-pres-
sure hose again.

• Turn master switch to "I".
Switching on

ringly and let it react (but not dry out).
2. Wash off the loosened dirt with the high-pressu-
re jet.
Connect accessories

are either included in the scope of delivery or are
obtainable from specialist dealers.
• Exchange the respective accessory with the spray
lance.
Wash brush

operating pressure.
