off the electricity supply in the instance of a short circuit.
Use of extension cables: Use cables featuring "IPX5"
protection level. The cross-section of the extension cable
should be proportionate to its length; the longer it is, the
greater its cross-section should be. See Fig. G.

Water supply connection

Caution! Only clean or teredwater should be used for
intake. The delivery of the water intake tap should be equal
to that of pump capacity. Place the appliance as close to
the water supply system as possible.
Connection points:
Water outlet (OUTLET)
Water inlet with filter (INLET)

Connection to the mains water supply

The appliance can be connected directly to the mains
drinking water supply only if the supply hose is fitted with a
backflow preventer valve as per current regulations in force.
Make sure that the hose is at least Ø 13mm and that it is
reinforced.

Connecting to the mains water system/water supply

Detergent flow is adjusted using the regulator.
Warning! Comply strictly with the technical regulations
and standards of the local water supply company.
f Ensure that the water mains connection complies
with the data provided in the appliance's technical
specifications.
f Connect the water supply hose (not supplied)
to the appliance's intake connection (Fig. C).
f Turn on the water supply.
f Vent the air from the appliance. To vent the air from
the appliance, set the nozzle in low pressure mode
(Fully forward) and press the trigger (First releasing
the safety catch (12) if necessary) until the water which
flows out is free from air bubbles. When done, return
the nozzle to the high pressure setting.
USE OF THE APPLIANCE (Fig. E)
Starter device (14)
Set the starter switch on (ON/I) (14a) to:
a. Start the motor (In models without AS device);
b. Set the motor ready to start (In models with AS device).
Note: If there is a pilot light on the starter device, it should
light up.
If the "Low/High" settings are available, use them as
follows:
Low: Low pressure washing
High: High pressure washing
Set the starter device switch on (OFF/0) (14b) to shut
down the appliance.
If there is a pilot light on the starter device, it should go out.
f Water jet control lever (15).
Caution! During operation the appliance must be
positioned as shown in Fig. E on a sturdy, stable surface.
Start-up (Fig. E)
Caution! Before starting up the appliance check that
the water supply hose is connected properly; use of the
appliance without water will damage it; do not cover the
ventilation grilles when the appliance is in use.
1. Turn on the water supply tap fully.
2. Release the safety catch (12).
3. Depress the gun trigger for a few seconds and start
up the appliance using the starter device (ON/I)(14a).
AS Models - In AS models with automatic delivery flow
cut-o system:
a. When the gun trigger is released the dynamic pressure
automatically cuts out the motor;
b. When the gun trigger is depressed the automatic
drop in pressure starts the motor and the pressure
is restored after a very slight delay;
c. If the AS is to function correctly all gun releasing
and depressing operations must be performed at
intervals of less than 4 - 5 seconds.
Note: To prevent damage to the appliance, when running
do not stop the water jet for more than 10 minutes at a time.
