1.6 Connecting the water
·
See technical data for connected loads.
·
Attach the supply hose to the appliance and to
the water line. The supply hose is not included
in standard delivery.
·
If you draw in the water from an open tank, you
should
– disconnect the water supply from the pump
head
– unscrew the upper supply hose from the
water tank and connect to the pump head
– use a water supply hose which has
a minimum diameter of 3/4" and a suction
filter.
·
Until the pump has drawn in the water, you
should:
– rotate the pressure and volume control to
"MAX",
– close the detergent metering valve.

1.7 Connecting the power
·
See technical data for connected loads.
·
The voltage stated on the rating plate must
correspond to the voltage of the power source.
·
The electric plug must only be fitted by an
authorized customer service/electrical
engineer. The direction of rotation of the engine
must also be observed. If the direction of
rotation is correct, there will be a powerful air
flow from the exhaust gas opening of the
burner.
·
First, position the appliance switch to "STOP"
and then put the electric plug into the socket.
·
If you are using an extension lead, it should
always be completely unwound from the cable
drum and have an adequate cross-section
(10 m = 1.5 mm², 30 m = 2.5 mm²).
1.8 Pouring in the liquid softener
·
The liquid softener prevents the heating
element from becoming calcified when
operating with hard supply water. The liquid
softener is added in drops to the supply water
in the water tank. The metering is set to an
average value at the factoy. This setting may
be adjusted to local conditions by customer
service.
·
Pour the RM 110 liquid softener (included in
standard delivery) into the filling orifice of the
white tank.
·
You can also work without liquid softener
when operating with soft water, e.g. rain water.
In this case you should remove the small (!)
cover from the white tank and place the
supplied spring underneath on the cover
support. Then replace the cover. This prevents
the indicator light on the instrument panel from
continually flashing. This spring must be
removed when operating with supply water.
