major components.
CAUTION!
Wear appropriate protective clothing and eye protection. Do not direct the jet towards yourself or towards other per- sons in order to clean clothes or footwear.
During operation of the cleaner, recoil forces are produced at the gunvalve and spray lance and, when the spray lance is held at an angle, a torque is also cre- ated. The gunvalve and spray lancemust therefore be held fi rmly in both hands.
Do not use the cleaner when other people without protec- tive clothing are in the working area.
Check that cleaning will not result in dangerous substances (e.g. asbestos, oil) being washed off the object to be cleaned and harming the environment.
Do not clean delicate parts made of rubber, fabric, etc. with the 0° jet. Keep some distance between high pressure nozzle and surface in order to prevent the surface from damage.
Do not use the

liquid!
Never operate the cleaner with- out water. Even brief shortages of water result in severe damage to the pump seals.
Water connection
This high pressure washer/cleaner is only allowed to be connected with the
drinking water
mains, when an appropriate backflow preventer has been in- stalled, Type BA according to EN 1717. If the back flow preventer hasn’t been supplied, one can be purchased from your dealer. The length of the hose between the backflow preventer and the high pressure washer must be at least 12 metres (min diam- eter 3/4 inch) to absorb possi- ble pressure peaks. Operation by suction (for example from a rainwater vessel) is carried out without backflow preventer. Contact your dealer for suction set recommendations.
As soon as water has flown through the BA valve, this water is not considered to be drinking water any more.
Operation
Keep cabinet and service door closed during operation.
CAUTION!
Unsuitable extension cords can represent a source of danger. Always unwind cord from the reels completely to prevent the power cord over- heating.
Connectors and couplings of extension cords must be water- tight.
Extension cords are not recom- mended, however if necessaray refer to the following recommen- dations:

Do not damage the power cord (e.g. by driving over it, pulling or crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug only (do not pull or tug the power cord).
CAUTION!
Unsuitable fuels (e.g. gasoline) must not be used as they can explode and catch fire.
Use clean fuel only, free of mois- ture and contamination. Contact your dealer for fuel source and type recommendations.
If the machine is to be operated at fuel stations or in other potentially hazardous areas, the machine may only be employed outside the hazard areas defi ned in the German „Technical Guidelines for Infl ammable Fluids“ applica- ble at the point of use due to the potential explosion hazard posed by the burner.
If the machine is to be operated indoors, the local building regu- lations must be observed for the discharge of the exhaust fumes into the atmosphere. Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.
If the machine is to be con- nected to a fl ue gas stack, then local building regulations must be observed. We will be glad to pro- vide tips for connection systems, on request.
CAUTION!
Beware of hot water and steam discharge up to 1500C when operating in steam stage.
CAUTION!
Do not touch or cover the exhaust. Risk of burns and fire.
