parts from the manufacturer or those approved by
the manufacturer.
mWARNING! Water that has owed through backow
preventers is considered to be non-potable.
mWARNING! During cleaning, maintenance or when
replacing parts, the machine must be disconnected from its
power source by removing the plug from the socket outlet.
mWARNING! High-pressure hoses, ttings, and
couplings are important for the safe operation of the appliance.
Use only hoses, ttings, and couplings recommended by
the manufacturer.
• Check for damaged parts – Do not use the appliance if
the supply cord or other important parts of the appliance
are damaged (e.g. safety devices, high-pressure hoses,
trigger gun).
mWARNING! If an extension cord is used, the plug and
socket must be of watertight construction.
mWARNING! Inadequate extension cords can
be dangerous.
• This high-pressure electric power washer must not be used
at temperatures below 32ºF (0°C).
mWARNING! Power cords on drums should always be
completely unwound to prevent the cord from overheating.
• Power cord connections should be kept dry and o the ground.
• If the power cord is damaged, do not use the appliance.

Electrical Safety
ATTENTION: If there are problems with the electrical mains,
short voltage drops may appear when starting the equipment.
This can, in turn, inuence other equipment (e.g. cause a lamp
to blink). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax < 0.335 OHM, such
disturbances are not expected. (If you require assistance,
contact your local supply authority for further information.)
mWARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard – Before starting
up your machine, please check it carefully for any defects. If
you nd any, do not start up your machine and contact
your distributor.
The following should be observed when connecting the
high-pressure electric power washer to the electric supply:
• The electric supply connection should be performed by a
qualied person.
• The electric supply to this appliance should include either
a residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the
leakage current to the earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a
device that will interrupt the earth circuit (GFCI).
IMPORTANT: Only use water without any impurities.
If there is a risk of running sand into the inlet water (i.e. from
your own well), an additional lter should be installed.
Grounding Instruction
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
unit is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
mDANGER! Improper connection of the equipment-
grounded conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check
with a qualied electrician or service personnel if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the unit. If it will not t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician. Do not
use any type of adapter with this unit.
Safety Devices
The spray gun features a locking device. When the lock is
activated, the spray gun cannot be operated.
1. Thermal sensor – A thermal sensor protects the motor
against overloading. If the thermal sensor is activated and
the power is cut o, wait for a while until the motor is cool
and restart the unit.
2. Thermal relief valve – The pump is equipped with
a thermal relief valve to prevent overheat. This valve
opens and releases water to exhaust the heat when the
