Safety Devices

Safety devices serve for the protection of the user and
must not be put out of operation or bypassed with re-
spect to their function.
Overflow valve with two pressure switches
– While reducing the water supply at the pump head
or with the Servopress - regulation the overflow
valve opens and part of the water flows back to the
pump suck side.
– If the hand-spray gun is closed, so that the whole
water flows back to the pump suck side, the pres-
sure switch at the overflow valve shuts down the
pump.
– If the hand spray gun is opened, the pressure
switch on the cylinder head turns the pump back
on.
The overflow valve is set by the manufacturer and
sealed. Setting only by customer service.
Safety valve
– The safety valve opens, when the overflow valve
resp. the pressure switch is broken.
The safety valve is set by the manufacturer and sealed.
Setting only by customer service.
Water shortage safeguard
– The lack of water fuse prevents the heater from be-
ing switched on when there is a water shortage.
– The lack of water fuse switches the pump off after
2 minutes in case of a water shortage to prevent
dry runs.
Temperature controller
– The temperature limiter switches off the heater
when the temperature becomes too high.
WARNING
Risk of injury! Appliance, accessories, supply lines and
connections must be in fault-free condition. If they are
not in a perfect state then the appliance must not be
used.
