Safety Precautions

Always follow safety guidelines to prevent injury and damage:

• General Warnings: Read all instructions before use. Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the unit. Do not spray water on people, animals, or electrical equipment. Do not use with flammable or toxic liquids. Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Electrical Safety: Ensure the power supply voltage matches the unit's specifications. Use only approved extension cords of adequate cross-section and suitable for outdoor use. Always unplug the unit before cleaning, maintenance, or storage.
• Water Connection: Connect to a clean water supply. For connection to potable water mains, ensure the supply hose has a backflow prevention valve (type BA, EN 12729). Water that has passed through the backflow prevention valve is considered unfit for drinking.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE, including ear protection, safety glasses or face shield, protective gloves, and protective footwear.
• Symbol Explanations: [Symbol for domestic use] (E3) indicates the unit is for domestic use. [Symbol for not disposing as household waste] (E1) indicates the unit must be disposed of properly, not as household waste.
• Operation Warnings: Never point the high-pressure jet at people or animals. Do not operate the unit without water. Do not block ventilation grilles. Do not use the unit in the rain. Do not use the trigger gun's safety lock to keep the trigger pressed.
• Maintenance: Only use manufacturer-approved parts and accessories. Maintenance and repair of electrical components must be performed by qualified personnel.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Insufficient water supply / Pump not reaching working pressure.

Possible Causes & Solutions:

• Check if the water tap is fully open.
• Clean the water filter (L).
• Ensure hose connections are tight.
• If the pump is drawing air, let water run through the gun until a steady flow is achieved.
• If drawing water from an open container, ensure the intake height is not too great (max 0.5m) and the suction hose is primed.

Problem: Engine 'hums' but does not start.

Possible Causes & Solutions:

• Check for a clogged nozzle or filter.
• Ensure the water supply is adequate.
• Check the electrical supply voltage.
• If the unit has overheated, allow it to cool down.

Problem: Unit does not draw detergent.

Possible Causes & Solutions:

• Ensure the detergent tank is filled and the correct nozzle/kit is attached.
• Check for blockages in the detergent circuit.
• Using a longer high-pressure hose or an extension hose may reduce detergent intake.
