Switching on
For Your Safety
Warning: Switch off, remove plug from mains
before adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut,
damaged or entangled.
The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz (for non-EU coun-
tries 220 V, 240 V as applicable). If in doubt contact a quali-
fied electrician or the nearest Bosch Service Centre.
For products not sold in GB:
Warning: For your safety, it is required that the plug at-
tached to the product is connected with the extension cord.
The coupling of the extension cord must be protected
against splash water, be made of rubber or coated with rub-
ber. The extension cord must be used with a cable strain re-
lief.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.

Working Advice

General
Ensure that the pressure washer is on level ground.
Bosch Power Tools
Do not overreach with the high pressure hose or move the
pressure washer by pulling the hose, this could cause the
ma-chine to become unstable and fall over.
Do not kink or drive a motor vehicle over the high pressure
hose. Do not expose the high pressure hose to sharp edges
or corners.
Working advice for cleaning with detergents
Only use cleaning agents suitable specifically for high
u
pressure washers.
We recommend that you use detergent sparingly for the sake
of the environment. Observe the recommended dilution on
the detergent label.
Recommended cleaning method
Step 1: Attach the fixed fan nozzle and remove the heavy
dirt.
Step 2: Attach the foam bottle and spray on the detergent
sparingly.
Step 3: Rinse off the loosened dirt and detergent with the
fan nozzle.
Note: When cleaning a vertical surface spray off dirt/deter-
gent from the bottom and work in an upwards direction.
Rinse from the top and work downwards.
Use with alternative water sources
This high-pressure washer will self prime and can draw water
from water tanks and natural water sources. It is IMPORTANT
that the water is clean and the BOSCH inlet filter is clear and
fitted to the machine.
Open tanks/containers and natural water
sources
Use the Self Priming accessory kit comprising:
– Inlet strainer with non return valve
– 3 m reinforced supply hose
– Universal coupling to the pressure washer
This enables the pressure washer to draw water up to 0.5 m
above the water level in the source. This may take up to 15
seconds.
Submerge the 3 m hose in water to displace the air. Connect
the 3 m supply hose to the pressure washer ensuring that
the inlet strainer remains submerged in the water source.
Run the pressure washer with the lance disconnected until a
steady flow of water appears from the high pressure hose.
Stop if this has not been achieved within 25 seconds and
check all the connections. Switch off and connect the lance
and nozzle to operate.
It is important to ensure that all hose and coupling connec-
tions are of good quality, air tight and that all washers are in
good condition and correctly seated in place. Failure to do
so may affect the self priming performance.
Water Tanks with outlet connections
When connecting the pressure washer to a water tank with a
suitable tap outlet, first connect the supply hose (not
