Warning: Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are
susceptible to damage from the high-
pressure jet and may burst. The first indi-
cation of this is a discolouration of the ty-
re. Damaged vehicle tyres or tyre valves
endanger life. Ensure that a distance of
at least 30 cm is observed when cleaning
with the jet!
Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, under-
body washes, may only be carried out
using washing stations equipped with an
oil separator.
Observe a distance of at least 30 cm
when using the jet to clean painted sur-
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.
Never draw in fluids containing solvents
or undiluted acids and solvents! This
includes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist thus generated is
highly inflammable, explosive and poiso-
nous. Do not use acetone, undiluted aci-
ds and solvents as they are aggressive
towards the materials from which the ap-
pliance is made.
Wear suitable clothing and goggles to
protect against back spray containing
water or dirt.
Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
Warning: This appliance was designed
to be used with detergents which are
supplied or recommended by the manu-
facturer. The use of other detergents or
chemicals may compromise the safety of
the appliance.

Electrical connection

Make sure that the power cord or exten-
sion cables are not damaged by running
over, pinching, dragging or similar. Pro-
tect the power cords from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
Never use a defective power cord or ex-
tension cable! If the power cord is dama-
ged it must be replaced with a special
power cord available from the manufac-
turer or his customer service.
Never touch the mains plug and the sok-
ket with wet hands.
The connection between the power cord
and extension cable must not lie in wa-
ter.
All current-conducting parts in the wor-
king area must be protected against jet
water.
The appliance may only be connected to
an electrical supply which has been in-
stalled in accordance with IEC 60364.
The appliance may only be connected to
alternating current. The voltage must
correspond with the type plate on the ap-
pliance.
The minimum fuse rating required at the
socket outlet is 16 A (slow-blow).
To avoid accidents due to electrical
faults we recommend the use of sockets
with a line-side current-limiting circuit
breaker (max. 30 mA nominal tripping
current).
The maximum tolerable mains impedan-
ce at the electrical contact point (see
Technical Data) must not be exceeded.
Warning: Unsuitable extension cables
can be hazardous. Only use extension
cables outdoors which have been appro-
ved for this purpose and labelled with a
sufficient cable cross-section:
1 -10 m:1.5 mm , 10 - 30 m:2.5 mm
2
The plug and coupling of the extension
cable used must be watertight.
Always fully unroll the extension cable
from the cable drum.
