GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT

INTERRUPTER PROTECTION

TocomplywiththeNationalElectricalCode(NFPA

70), and to provide additional protection from the

risk of electric shock, this pressure washer should

only be connected to a receptacle that is protected

by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Extension Cords

Use only extension cords that are intended for

outdoor use. These extension cords are identified

by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor

appliances; store indoors while not in use.” Use

only extension cords having an electrical rating

not less than the rating of the product. Do not use

damaged extension cords. Examine extension

cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not

abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord

to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and

sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension

cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the

product from the extension cord.

If you are using an extension cord, it should

always be completely unwound from the cable

drum and have a sufficient cross-sectional area:

Up to 25 ft = 12/3 AWG; 25 to 50 ft = 10/3 AWG.

CAUTION

Water Supply

•Water hose must be at least 1/2 inch in

diameter.

•The flow rate of the water supply must not fall

below 2.5 GPM (gallons per minute).

•Flow rate can be determined by running the

water for one minute into an empty 5-gallon

container.

•Water can also be drawn from a standing

water supply such as a lake or a drum by

means of filtered suction hose (optional

accessory).

•The water supply temperature must not

exceed 104 °F.

•Never use the device to suck in liquids con-

taining solvents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,

oil, etc. or unfiltered water. The seals in the

cleaner are not resistant to solvents. When

solvents are sprayed the fine mist is highly

flammable, explosive and poisonous. Grit

particles in unfiltered water could damage

both the cleaner and the object being clea-

ned.

•When connecting the water inlet to the water

supply mains, local regulations of your water

company must be observed. In some areas

the unit must not be connected directly to the

public drinking water supply. This is to ensure

that there is no feedback of chemicals into

the water supply. Direct connection via a

receiver tank or backflow preventer for ex-

ample, is permitted.

•Dirt in the feed water could lead to the ap-

pliance being damaged. To avoid this risk, we

recommend fitting a filter.Asuitable filter with

3/4" connection is available under Order No.

6.414-389.

•The safety ratchet does not lock the lever of

the gun during operation but only prevents it

from opening unintentionally.

WARNING

Risk of Injection or Injury – Do not

direct discharge atream at persons.

High Pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to

misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,

animals or machine itself. This machine has been

designed for use with cleaning chemicals supp-

lied or recommended by the manufacturer. The

use of other cleaning chemicals may affect the

operation of the machine and void the warranty.

1. Starting

11 12

1. Starting

Electrical Connection

••

•See technical data of connected values.

••

•Check whether the voltage shown on the rating

plate corresponds to that of the power source.

Water Connection

••

•See technical data for connected values.

1. Screw male coupling onto the machine. Do not

overtighten.

2. Screw female coupling onto male end of garden

hose. Be sure the hose end is in good condition so

a leak does not occur. Do not overtighten.

3. To connect, push female coupling onto male

coupling all the way until it clicks twice to assure

full flow of water to the pump.

Caution: Failure to push female coupling on all

the way can damage the pump if allowed to run

dry.

4. Turn on water supply: If leak occurs, retrace

steps 1 to 3, making sure connections are tight

and that couplings are not reversed.

Caution: The male and female connection are

not the same thread size. Reversing the con-

nections will damage the coupling and cause a

water leak preventing the pump from priming

properly.

Suction: Observe the following if you are drawing

water from an open container:

1.Unscrew the union element from the water

connection of the appliance, and attach a suc-

tion hose with filter (order no. 4.440-238) directly

to the appliance.

2.Allow the pump to operate without the high-

pressure hose until water appears at the high-

pressure outlet without any more bubbles.

3. Then re-attach the high-pressure hose.

•Connect the spray lance extension and spray

gun.

••

•Push the spray lance (detergent nozzle) against

the spring into the bayonet connector of the

extension, and then rotate it through 90° until it

clicks into place.

••

•Connect the high-pressure hose to the high-

pressure outlet.

2. Operation

Operation with High-pressure

••

•Connect the spray lance with the spray lance

extension.

••

•Release the gun trigger with the safety ratchet

and pull the trigger.

••

•Switch on the appliance.

••

Note:

We offer you an individual cleaning and

detergent range, thereby guaranteeing fault-free

work. Please allow us to advise you or order our

catalogue or the detergent information sheets.

Unsuitable detergents can damage the ap-

pliance and the object being cleaned.

We recommend the following cleaning methods:

Step 1: Loosening dirt

Spray on detergent sparingly and allow to react

for a short time.

Step 2: Removing dirt

Spray off the loosened dirt with the high-pres-

sure spray.

Interrupting Operation

••

•In the event of extended work breaks (more than

5 minutes), switch off the pump to avoid damage

due to water overheating.

Switching OFF

••

•Switch off the appliance and unplug the power

cable from the mains.

••

•Close the water inlet and detach the appliance

from the water connection.

••

•Pull the trigger until there is no more pressure in

the appliance, and secure the trigger with the

safety ratchet against unintentional opening.

Purpose

– Use the appliance to clean machines, vehicles,

buildings, tools etc.

– Clean facades, terrasses, garden equipment

etc. without detergent only with the high-pres-

sure Water Jet.

– Engines may only be cleaned at locations with

appropriate oil separators (environmental

protection).

– When the appliance is used at petrol stations

and other dangerous areas, the appropriate

safety regulations must be observed.

– We recommend the dirt blaster as a special

attachment for stubborn dirt.

3. Care and Maintenance

Monthly or as Required

•Clean the nozzle.

Remove dirt from the nozzle hole with a needle,

and rinse with water from the front.

••

•Clean the strainer in the water connection. It can

be easily removed with a flat-nosed pliers.

Note:

Disconnect the appliance from the power mains before all repair work. Only authorized customer

service personnel may inspect electrical components.

4. Troubleshooting

hole with a needle, and rinse with water from the

front.

Pump Leaks

••

•3 drops per minute are permissible. In the case

of more serious leakage, you should contact the

authorized customer service.
