when the water jet is discharged. Make
sure that you have a firm footing. Hold the
handgun and spray lance firmly.
Power nozzle

ing nozzles:
 Power nozzle, 15° spray angle

sure, always position high pressure ray first
from a greater distance towards object to
be cleaned.
Set working pressure and flow rate

by turning the pressure/ quantity regula-
tion mechanism at the pump unit.

eral minutes), switch off the engine.
Note
When the lever of the hand spray gun is re-
leased, the engine continues to run at de-
creased speed. The water thus circulates
within the pump and gets heated. When the
cylinder head at the pump has reached the
maximum permissible tempertaure (80 °C),
the therm-valve on the pump opens and
lets out the hot water into the open.
