Water connection

Connect the high pressure washer by means of a
water hose to the water tap (pressure of inlet wa-
ter, max. 10 bar - temperature of inlet water, max.
60°C). At tach the hose using a quick connector.
NOTE: Connection to the public mains according to
regulations.
This high pressure washer is only allowed
to be connected with the drinking water
mains, when an appropriate backfl ow
preventer has been installed, Type BA
according to EN 1717. The backfl ow preventer can
be ordered under number 106411177. The length
of the hose between the backfl ow preventer and the
high pressure washer must be at least 10 metres
(max. 25 m) to absorb possible pressure peaks (min
diameter ½ inch).
As soon as water has fl own through the BA valve,
this water is not considered to be drinking water any
more.
IMPORTANT! Only use water without any im pu-
ri ties. If there is a risk of running sand in the inlet
water (i.e. from your own well), a fi lter should be
mounted.
