4. Start-up

4.1Environmental protection

•Please dispose of packaging environmentally responsibly.

The packaging materials are recyclable. Please do not throw the packaging in with household rubbish but take it to a recycling centre.

•Please dispose of scrapped units environmentally-responsibly.

Scrapped units consist of valuable recyclable materials that should be taken to a recycling centre. Batteries, oil and similar products must not be allowed to contaminate the environment. Therefore, please dispose of scrapped units via appropriate disposal systems.

•Please ensure engine oil, fuel oil, diesel and petrol

to contaminate the environment. Please protect the ground and dispose of used oil ecologically.

4.2Unpacking the appliance

•Please contact your dealer immediately if, on unpacking the appliance, you discover damage has been caused during trans-portation.

4.3Attaching the accessories

•Attach the two handles to the appliance.

•Fit the spray lance to the hand-held spray gun with pressure flow control.

•Connect the high-pressure hose accordingly.

•Attach the high-pressure nozzle to the spray lance.

•Check the oil level in the oil tank. Do not start the appliance if the oil level has dropped below “MIN”. Top up the oil as required (see tech. data, chap. 3).

4.5Pouring in the fuel

•The appliance is delivered with an empty fuel tank.

•Fill the fuel tank with diesel or a light fuel oil before the initial start-up.

–When the fuel tank is empty, the fuel pump will operate dry and will be damaged.

–Unsuitable fuels must not be used, e.g. petrol (danger of explosion).

4.6Pouring in the liquid softener

•The liquid softener prevents the heating element from becoming calcified when operating with hard supply water. The liquid softener is added in drops to the supply water in the water tank. The metering is set to an average value at the factoy. This setting may be adjusted to local conditions by customer service.

•Pour the RM 110 liquid softener (included in standard delivery) into the filling orifice of the white tank.

•You can also work without liquid softener when operating with soft water, e.g. rain water. In this case you should remove the small (!) cover from the white tank and place the supplied spring underneath on the cover support. Then replace the cover. This prevents the indicator light on the instrument panel from continually flashing. This spring must be removed when operating with supply water.

•Tighten all union nuts hand-tight.

4.4Checking the oil level of the high-pressure pump

•Before the initial start-up, open the appliance hood and cut the tip off the oil tank cover (venting the oil housing).
