Bosch UniversalAquatak 125 Original Instructions Manual page 11

When using an extension cable, the extension cable must
have the following dimensions:
2
– Ø 2.5 mm , max. length 25 m
Note: When using an extension cable, it must be earthed
u
in accordance with the applicable regulations and con-
nected to the earth cable of your power supply via the
plug.
The connections (plugs and sockets) should be kept dry
u
and off the ground.
Water connection
Comply with the regulations of your water supply com-
u
pany.
All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
u
Make sure that the supply hose is at least 12.7 mm (1/2")
u
in diameter and is reinforced.
The appliance should never be used on the drinking water
u
supply without a back flow valve. Water which has passed
the back flow valve is regarded as undrinkable.
The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (danger of
u
bursting). A damaged high-pressure hose must be re-
placed immediately. Only use hoses and connections re-
commended by the manufacturer.
High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important
u
for the safety of the appliance. Use only hoses, fittings
and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
Only clean or filtered water should be used for intake.
u
Application
Before use, check that the machine and operating equip-
u
ment are in perfect condition and are safe to operate. Do

Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to
u
clean clothes or footwear.
Do not use solvent-containing liquids, undiluted acids,
u
acetone or solvents, including petrol, paint thinners,
heating oil. The sprayed vapours are highly flammable,
explosive and toxic.
The appropriate safety regulations must be observed
u
when using the unit in dangerous areas (e. g. petrol sta-
tions). It is forbidden to operate the unit in potentially ex-
plosive locations.
The unit must be placed on a solid base.
u

u
ing that there is adequate ventilation. Ensure that all
vehicles are switched off at all times whilst cleaning.
Operation of this machine requires both hands to be used
u
at all times. Do not operate from a ladder. Take care when
using the machine on balconies or other raised areas en-
suring that you can see any edges at all times.
The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may ad-
u
versely affect the safety of the machine.
All current-conducting components in the work area must
u
be protected against splashed water.
Bosch Power Tools
The gun trigger must not be jammed in position "ON" dur-
u
ing operation.
During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may be
u
formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous to
health.
Shielded nozzles can reduce the aerosol effect. If neces-
u
sary wear personal protective equipment (PPE) e. g.
safety goggles, breathing protection etc to protect
against water, particles and/or aerosols sprayed back
from parts.
High pressure may cause objects to rebound. If necessary
u
wear suitable personnel protective equipment such as
safety goggles.
Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned from a min-
u
imum distance of 30 cm in order to avoid damages by the
high-pressure jet. The first indication of damage is the
discolouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/ tyre
valves are dangerous to life.
Materials containing asbestos and other materials which
u
contain substances which are hazardous to your health
must not be sprayed.
Never use the pressure washer without the filter or with a
u
dirty or damaged filter. Using the pressure washer
without a filter or with a dirty or damaged filter may inval-
idate the warranty.
Metal parts may become hot after prolonged usage. If ne-
u
cessary wear protective gloves.
Avoid high pressure washing in bad weather conditions
u
especially when there is a risk of lightning.
Wear suitable protective clothing to protect against
u
splash water. Do not use the appliance within the range of
persons, unless they wear protective clothing.
