ATTENTION
Unsuitable detergents can cause damage

ronment use detergent economically.

tions provided with these detergents.

desired concentration.

Interrupting operation

 Close the hand spray gun.
 Secure the trigger gun. To do so, push
the safety catch towards the front.
Note: If the trigger gun is closed, the motor
continues to run at idling speed. The water
thus circulates within the pump and heats
up. When the cylinder head at the pump
has reached the maximum permissible
temperature (80 °C), the safety thermostat
at the cylinder head switches off the motor.
The device can be restarted after cooling
down to below 50 °C.
Cooling can be hastened while using com-
pressed water from the water supply pipes:
 Open the trigger gun for approx. 2 - 3
minutes so that the circulating water
cools down the cylinder head.
 Restart the engine.
After operation with detergent
 Set dosing value for detergent to "0".
 Open the hand spray gun and rinse the
appliance for at least 1 minute.
Turn off the appliance

eration with hot water, the device must be
operated with openend handgun with cold
water for at least two minutes.
