Water connection
● See the "Technical data" for the connected loads.
Note
The water supply hose is not included in the scope of
delivery.
1. Connect the supply hose (minimum length 7.5 m,
minimum diameter 3/4") to the water connection of
the device and to the water supply (e.g. water tap).
2. Open the water inlet.
Suck water from the container
● When used with appropriate accessories, this high-
pressure cleaner is suitable for sucking up surface
water, e.g. from water butts or ponds.
● Suction height: max. 1 m
DANGER
Suction of fluids containing solvents or drinking
water
Risk of injury and damage, contamination of drinking
water
Never extract fluids containing solvents such as paint
thinner, petrol, oil or unfiltered water. The seals in the
device are not resistant to solvents. The spray mist of
solvents is highly flammable, explosive and poisonous.
Never extract water from drinking water tanks.
1. Connect the suction hose (diameter at least 3/4")
with the filter (accessory) to the water connection.
2. Set the detergent dosing valve to "0".

Operation

DANGER
Flammable fluids
Risk of explosion
Do not spray inflammable liquids.
DANGER
Operation without spray lance
Risk of injury
Never operate the device without the spray lance in-
stalled.
Before each use, check that the spray lance is firmly
seated. The screw connection of the spray lance must
be tightened hand tight.
DANGER
High-pressure water jet
Danger of injury
Never fasten the trigger and safety lever in the actuated
position.
Do not use the high-pressure gun when the safety lever
is damaged.
Push the safety latch of the high-pressure gun forwards
every time before starting work with the device.
Hold the high-pressure gun and spray lance with both
hands.
ATTENTION
Operation with an empty fuel tank
Risk of damage to the fuel pump due to dry running
Even in cold water operation, fill the fuel tank until the fu-
el indicator light goes out.
ATTENTION
Rolled-up high-pressure hose
Risk of damage
Fully unroll the high-pressure hose before starting oper-
ation.
Opening/closing the high-pressure gun
1. Opening the high-pressure gun: Actuate the safety
lever and trigger.
2. Closing the high-pressure gun: Release the safety
lever and trigger.
Changing nozzles
1. Switch off the device and operate the high-pressure
gun until the device is depressurized.
2. Lock the high-pressure gun by pushing the safety
latch forwards.
3. Change the nozzle.
Note
Always initially direct the high-pressure jet at the object
to be cleaned from a distance to avoid damage due to
excessive pressure.
1. Set the working pressure, the cleaning temperature
and the detergent concentration according to the
surface to be cleaned.
Working with the high-pressure nozzle
The spray angle is decisive for the effectiveness of the
high-pressure jet. A 25° flat stream nozzle is normally
used (included in the scope of delivery).
Recommended nozzles, available as accessories:
● For stubborn dirt:
0° full stream nozzle
● For sensitive surfaces and light soiling:
40° flat stream nozzle
● For thick, stubborn dirt:
Dirt grinder
● Nozzle with adjustable spray angle, for adaptation to
different cleaning tasks:
Angle Vario nozzle
Recommended cleaning method
1. Loosen dirt: Spray the detergent sparingly and let it
take effect for 1... 5 minutes, but do not let it dry.
2. Remove dirt: Rinse off the loosened dirt with the
high-pressure jet.
Switching on the device
Note
The spray lance or the nozzle can be removed to facili-
tate the startup process.
Note
If cleaning is not to be commenced immediately, refer to
interrupting operation.
1. Open the water inlet.
2. Set the power switch to operation with cold / hot wa-
ter.
3. Unlock the high-pressure gun by pushing the safety
latch to the rear.
4. Open the high-pressure gun.
