Symbols on the machine
High-pressure jets can be dan-
gerous if improperly used. The
jet may not be directed at per-
sons, animals, live electrical equipment or
at the appliance itself.

Proper use

Use this appliance exclusively for cleaning
using high pressure jet with/without deter-
gent (e.g. food industry, disassembly
plants...).

Safety Devices

Overflow valve with pressure switch
While reducing the water supply/quantity
regulation at the pump head, the overflow
valve opens and part of the water flows
back to the pump suck side.
If the lever on the trigger gun is released
the pressure switch turns off the pump, the
high-pressure jet ist stopped. If the lever is
pulled the pump is turned on again.
Safety valve
The safety valve opens when the permissi-
ble operating pressure is exceeded; water
flows back to the suction side of the pump.
The overflow valve, pressure switch and
safety valve are set and sealed at the fac-
tory.
Setting only by customer service.
Water shortage safeguard
The lack of water fuse in the swimmer res-
ervoir shuts off the engine when the water
supply is insufficient (water pressure too
low).
The pump is thus protected from running
dry.
