!Warning: Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are susceptible to damage from the high- pressure jet and may burst. The first indi- cation of this is a discolouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres or tyre valves endanger life. Ensure that a dis- tance of at least 30 cm is observed when cleaning with the jet!

!Cleaning operations which produce oily waste water, e.g. engine washes, under- body washes, may only be carried out using washing stations equipped with an oil separator.

!Observe a distance of at least 30 cm when using the jet to clean painted sur- faces to avoid damaging paintwork.

!Never draw in fluids containing solvents or undiluted acids and solvents! This in- cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating oil. The spray mist thus generated is highly inflammable, explosive and poi- sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as they are aggres- sive towards the materials from which the appliance is made.

!Wear suitable clothing and goggles to protect against back spray containing water or dirt.

!Never leave the appliance unattended when it is in operation.

!Warning: This appliance was designed to be used with detergents which are supplied or recommended by the manu- facturer. The use of other detergents or chemicals may compromise the safety of the appliance.

￿Electrical connection

!Make sure that the power cord or exten- sion cables are not damaged by running over, pinching, dragging or similar. Pro- tect the power cords from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

!Never use a defective power cord or ex- tension cable! If the power cord is dam- aged it must be replaced with a special power cord available from the manufac- turer or his customer service.

10English

!Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands.

!The connection between the power cord and extension cable must not lie in wa- ter.

!All current-conducting parts in the work- ing area must be protected against jet water.

!The appliance may only be connected to an electrical supply which has been in- stalled in accordance with IEC 60364.

!The appliance may only be connected to alternating current. The voltage must correspond with the type plate on the ap- pliance.

!The minimum fuse rating required at the sokket outlet is 10 A (slow-blow).

!To avoid accidents due to electrical faults we recommend the use of sockets with a line-side current-limiting circuit breaker (max. 30 mA nominal tripping current).

!Warning: Unsuitable extension cables can be hazardous. Only use extension cables outdoors which have been ap- proved for this purpose and labelled with a sufficient cable cross-section:

1 -10 m: 1.5 mm2

10 - 30 m: 2.5 mm2

!The plug and coupling of the extension cable used must be watertight.

!Always fully unroll the extension cable from the cable drum.
