1.1 General safety precautions
• The device may only be connected to
a power supply network with a volt-
age, type of current and frequency
which match the data on the type
plate! Never pull the mains plug out of
the socket by the mains cable (1)!
• Do not put the device into operation
if:
• the mains cable/the mains plug (1)
is damaged,
• the on-off switch (2)
• the feed hose/the connection cou-
pling (5)
• the pressure selector switch (4)
• the housing (3)
• the suction lance with bolting and
suction pipe (6)
indicate visible damage.
• Never connect the device to com-
pressed air.
Only operate with pure glycol-
based brake fluid (DOT 3, DOT 4,
DOT 5.1). Products containing
mineral oil result in deterioration
of the device.
• Before maintenance, cleaning or
repairs of electrical devices, it must
be ensured that the device has no
current, i.e. is switched off and the
mains plug disconnected and the
brake fluid has been drained from
the device.
• The device and device parts may only
be cleaned with ethyl alcohol. Do not
rinse the device under running water!
6
• Repairs may only be performed by
6
trained specialists using appropriate
6 workshop equipment.
• Serious risks to the user and damage
6
to the device may occur as a result
7
of improper repair or handling. If the
7
device is used for the wrong pur-
pose or incorrectly, no liability can be
7
accepted for any damage.
7
• After the device has been repaired,
7
an operation and leak test must be
7
performed. It must be ensured that
devices for brake fluid (blue devices)
7
are only operated with glycol-based
7
brake fluid (DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5.1).
7
Use of brake fluids which have
7
not been recommended results in

1.2 Safety precautions concerning
7
brake fluid
7
• Do not swallow or drink brake fluid!
Contact with the eyes and skin must
7
be strictly avoided. In an emergency
7
enlist medical help immediately and
7
present container instructions.
• Swallowing or drinking brake fluid
7
results in symptoms of poisoning
7
such as headaches, dizziness, stom-
7
ach ache, vomiting, diarrhoea and
24
may in serious cases lead to convul-
sions, unconsciousness or death.
• If brake fluid gets in the eyes, flush
the eyes immediately with plenty of
clean water. After thoroughly rinsing
the eyes, consult an eye specialist at
once .
• If brake fluid gets on the skin, flush
the skin immediately with plenty of
clean water. If there is skin irritation,
consult a doctor at once.
• Clothing with brake fluid on it must be
changed as soon as possible.
• Always store brake fluid sealed and
only in the original container. It must
not be possible for children and other
persons who cannot read the inscrip-
tion and warning labels to access the
brake fluid.
• If lacquered or sensitive surfaces
come into contact with brake fluid,
they must be washed at once with
clean water.
• When filling up the brake system with
brake fluid, please comply with the
recommendations and instructions of
the vehicle manufacturer.
• Glycol-based brake fluids (DOT 3, DOT
4, DOT 5.1) must not be mixed with
mineral oil. Mixing the fluids results in
the total failure of the brake system.
