Electrical connection
DANGER
Danger of injury by electric shock.
The appliance may only be connected to al-
ternating current.
It is imperative to connect the appliance to
the electric mains by means of a plug. It is
forbidden to permanently connect the appli-
ance to the power supply. The plug serves
for the disconnection from the mains.
Use the extension cord that has an ade-
quate cross-section (see "Technical Data")
and unwind it fully from the cable drum.
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
HD 7/11-4 Cage:
WARNING
The highest allowed net impedance at the
electrical connection point (refer to techni-
cal data) is not to be exceeded.
In case of confusion regarding the power
impedance present on your connection,
please contact your utilities provider.
Water connection
Connection to the water supply
According to applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be
used on the drinking water net
without a system separator. En-
sure that the connection of your building
water installation on which the high-pres-
sure cleaner is operated is equipped with a
system separator pursuant to EN 12729
Type BA.
Water that was flowing through a system
separator is considered non-drinkable.
CAUTION
Always connect the system separator to
the water supply, never directly to the appli-
ance!
For connection values refer to technical
specifications.
 Connect the supply hose (minimum
length 7.5 m, minimum diameter 3/4") to
the water connection point of the ma-
chine and at the water supply point (for
e.g. a tap).
Note:
The supply hose is not included.
 Open the water supply.
Drawing in water from open reservoirs
 Screw the suction hose onto the water
connection.
Note:
The suction hose is not included in the
scope of delivery.
If a suction hose with a check valve or filter
is used, the hose must be filled with water.
 Deaerate the appliance:
Unscrew the nozzle.
Switch on the appliance and let it run
until the water exiting is bubble-free.
At the end let the appliance run for approx.
10 seconds - then switch off. Repeat the
procedure for a couple of times.
 Switch off the appliance and fit the noz-
zle again.
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
If the appliance is used in hazardous areas
(e.g. filling stations) the corresponding
safety regulations must be observed.
ATTENTION
Clean engines only at places with corre-
sponding oil separators (environmental
safety).
DANGER
Long hours of using the appliance can
cause circulation problems in the hands on
account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid
operation time, since this depends on sev-
eral factors:
– Proneness to blood circulation deficien-
cies (cold, numb fingers).
– Low ambient temperature. Wear warm
gloves to protect hands.
– A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
