Water connection

For connected loads, refer to Technical Data.
Install the supply hose to the water inlet
(item 18) of the unit.
(supply hose is not part of scope of delivery)

Drawing in water from tank

When you suction water out of an open
container you should
– disconnect the water inlet at the pump head.
– unscrew the top supply hose to the water tank
and connect it to the pump head.
– use a water suction hose with a minimum
diameter of 3/4" provided with a vacuum filter.
* Until the pump sucks up water you should:
– turn the pressure and flow regulation to MAX.
– close the metering valve for the cleaning
agent.
– Never suction up water out of a potable water
tank.
– Never suction up solvent-bearing liquids such
as paint thinner, benzine, oil or unfiltered
water. The seals in the unit are not resistant
to solvents. The mist of solvents is highly
inflammable, explosive and poisonous!

Mains connection

Refer to technical data and rating plate for
connected loads.
Whenever socket is changed, check
direction of rotation of motor
If direction of rotation is correct, powerful jet of
air will be felt at exhaust-gas opening of burner.
If the direction of rotation is wrong: Change the
poles at the unit plug. See Figure 16.
If an extension cable is used, this should always
be fully uncoiled and have an adequate cross-
section.

OPERATION

Warning! (Only HDS Super)
Lengthy operation of the unit can lead to
vibration-related circulatory disturbances of the
hands.
It is not possible to specify a generally
applicable use duration, since this is dependent
and influenced by a number of factors:
— Personal predisposition to bad
circulation(frequent suffering from cold
fingers, pins and needles in fingers).
— In low ambient temperatures. Wear warm
gloves to keep hands warm.
— Gripping tightly impedes circulation.
— Continuous operation is more detrimental
than operation interrupted by breaks.
We recommend a medical examination if the
unit is regularly used for extensive, continuous
operation and the corresponding symptoms
(such as, for example, pins and needles in
fingers or cold fingers) are recurrent.

Switch the unit on

Set the unit switch (item 23) to "I"
The ready for working indicator lamp (item 28)
is lit
The temperature regulator (item 24) must be at
setting "0", since it is otherwise possible that the
burner switches itself on
Unit starts up briefly and is switched off as soon
as operating pressure is reached.
* Stop the unit immediately if the indicator
lamps (item 25-item 27) light up during its
operation. Eliminate fault, refer to Faults.

Actuation of handgun switches unit back on
again.
Bleed pump if no water emerges from high-
pressure nozzle. Refer to Faults "No build-up of
pressure by unit"
