avoid the risk of accidents or damage to
the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL parts and accessories. These
have been optimized for the product and
the user's requirements.

as this could be extremely dangerous.
STIHL excludes all liability for personal
injury and damage to property caused
while using unauthorized attachments.

Applications
The high-pressure cleaner can be used
to clean motor vehicles, machines,
tanks, facades or stables and to remove
rust without dust or sparks.
For reasons of hygiene,
the machine is not suita-
ble for cleaning surfaces
that come into contact
with foodstuffs.
Other uses are not permitted and may
lead to accidents or damage to the
machine.
Clothing and equipment
Wear shoes with non-slip soles.
Wear goggles and pro-
tective clothing. STIHL
recommends that a
boilersuit be worn in
order to reduce the risk of
injury due to accidental
exposure to the high-
pressure jet.
Transporting the machine
When transporting the machine in or on
a vehicle, it must be secured, e.g. with
straps, so that it cannot slip or tip over
and the brake must be engaged.
Antifreeze is recommended if the
machine and accessories are to be
transported at temperatures near or
below 0° C (32 °F) – see "Storage".
Detergent
Unsuitable detergents can cause
damage to health, as well as to the
machine and the object to be cleaned.
Contact a dealer if in doubt.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL detergents. Follow the
instructions for use.
Chemical detergents may contain
physiologically harmful (toxic, caustic,
irritant), flammable or explosive
substances. Note the manufacturer's
safety data sheets!
Detergents should always be used in the
proportions specified by the
manufacturer.
Before starting work
Do not use the machine with dirty water.
If there is a risk that dirty water will occur
(e. g., flowing sand), an appropriate
water filter must be used.
Switch off the machine before filling with
fuel.
The fuel tank may only be filled when the
machine is switched off and the heat
exchanger is cold. Do not smoke and
