GENERAL RULES

3.1.1 The USE and MAINTENANCE manual
constitutes an essential part of the cleaner
equipment and should be kept in a safe
place for future reference. If you sell the
cleaner, the manual should be handed on
to the new owner.
3.1.2 Before starting the cleaner, make sure that
it is receiving water correctly. Operating
the cleaner without water could damage
the seals.
3.1.3 Do not disconnect the plug by pulling on
the electrical cable.
3.1.4 If you are too far from the object you wish
to clean, do not move the cleaner nearer
by pulling on the high pressure hose; use
the handle provided.
3.1.5 In versions not equipped with TSS
device, do not operate the cleaner for
more than 1-2 minutes with the gun
closed as this could damage the seals.
3.1.6 Protect the cleaner from freezing during
the winter.
3.1.7 Do not obstruct the ventilation grilles dur-
ing operation.
3.1.8 The cross-section of any exten-
sion cables used must be propor-
tional to their length, i.e. the longer the
extension cable, the greater the cross-
section; cables with a protection level
of "IPX5" must be used. See table a for

3.1.11 Use the cleaner only with accessories and
replacement parts authorised by the man-
ufacturer. The use of original accessories
and replacement parts will ensure safe,
trouble-free operation.
3.1.12 The cleaner must be used standing on
a secure, stable surface, positioned as
shown. FIG.3A
3.2 INTENDED USE
3.2.1 The cleaner is intended only for the clean-
ing of vehicles, machines, boats, build-
ings, etc., by the removal of stubborn dirt
using clean water and chemical deter-
gents.
3.2.2 When using chemical detergents, only
use biodegradable types.
We recommend HOBBY - FOAM deter-
gent (# 3206).
3.2.3 Only clean vehicle engines in areas in
which suitable oil traps are installed.
3.3 SAFETY VALVE
3.3.1 The safety valve also functions as a pres-
sure limiting valve. When the gun trigger is
released, the safety valve opens and the
water recirculates through the pump inlet.

supply must be at least equal to the clean-
er delivery capacity.
The intake water tempera-
ture must NOT exceed 50°C
(122°F). The water supply pressure
must NOT exceed 10 bar (145 psi).
4.4.1 CAUTION! The cleaner must only
be used with clean water; use of
unfiltered water or corrosive chemicals
will damage the cleaner.
