• Water that has passed through a backflow preventer is classified as undrinkable.

• High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for machine safety. Use only high-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

• To ensure machine safety, use only original replacement parts from the manufacturer or replacement parts authorised by the manufacturer.

Electrical safety:

Caution: to avoid accidents and injuries from electric shocks:

• The plug and socket of an extension cable must be water-tight!

Unsuitable extension cables can be dangerous as people can be harmed by an electric shock!

• Before each use, check the equipment, cable and plug for damage.

• If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service agent of the same or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent hazards.

• Do not pull the plug from the socket by the cable. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

• Do not carry or fix the equipment by the cable.

• Use only extension cables that are protected from spray water and designed for outdoor use. Always fully unroll a cable drum before use. Check the cable for damage.

• Before any work on the equipment, during work breaks and in the case of non-use, remove the plug from the socket.

• The cross-section of the power supply cable must not be less than

2 x 2,5 mm².

• Wear sturdy footwear to protect against electric shock.

Initial Operation

• Protect the electric plug connections against moisture.

• If there is a risk of flooding, fix the plug connections in an area that is safe from flooding.

• Ensure that the mains voltage matches the specifications on the rating plate.

• The electrical installation shall be according to national wiring rules.

• Connection to the mains must be carried out by an experienced electrician and meet the requirements of

IEC 60364-1.

• The device must only be connected to a mains socket via a residual-current circuit breaker (RCD) with a rated leakage current of not more than 30 mA.

Fuse: at least 13 ampere.

In keeping with current regulations a pressure washer must never be operated off the drinking water mains supply without a controllable backflow preventer. A suitable backflow preventer in conformity with EN 12729 type BA must be used.

Water that has passed through a backflow preventer is classified as undrinkable.

A backflow preventer is available from specialist retailers.
