1.4 Connecting the power supply
See technical data of connected values.
Check whether the voltage shown on the
rating plate corresponds to that of the power
source.
Note:
If you are using an extension cable, it should
always be completely unwound from the
cable drum and have a sufficient cross-
sectional area:
10 m = 1.5 mm², 30 m = 2.5 mm²
1.5 Connecting the water supply
See technical data for connected values.
Connect a water supply hose (not supplied) to
the appliance and the water pipe.
Note:
Dirt in the feed water could lead to the
appliance being damaged. To avoid this
risk, we recommend fitting a filter.
A suitable filter with 1" connection is available
under Order No. 2.638-270.
Suction
Observe the following if you are drawing water
from an open container:
– Attach a suction hose with filter (order no.
4.440-238) directly to the appliance.
– Allow the pump to operate without the high-
pressure hose until water appears at the high-
pressure outlet without any more bubbles.
– Then re-attach the high-pressure hose.
1. Starting
1.6 Purpose
Use the appliance to clean machines, vehicles,
buildings, tools, etc.
Clean facades, patios, garden implements,
etc. with the high-pressure spray only, i.e.
without detergent. We recommend the dirt
blaster, a special accessory, for stubborn dirt.
Engines must only be cleaned in places which
have appropriate oil traps (protection of the
environment).
If the machine is used at petrol stations or in
other hazardous areas, the appropriate safety
regulations must be observed.
