Safety Notes for pressure washer
Connecting to the mains
uThe voltage of the power source
must correspond with the data on
the type plate of the product.
uWe recommend that this product is
only connected into a socket which
is protected by a circuit-breaker that
would be actuated by a 30mA resid-
ual current.
uThe circuit breaker supplying mains
power to the high-pressure washer
should have no less than a C16 rat-
ing. If in doubt consult a qualified
electrician for further advice. Do not
attempt to modify your electrical
system yourself.
uRemove the plug from socket
whenever the machine is left unat-
tended for any period.
uThe electric supply installation
should comply with IEC60364-1.
uIf the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufac-
turer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a

to the following:
uPlugs and sockets situated near the
work site or outdoors should be to
class IP 55 of BS 5490 to provide
adequate protection against ingress
of water, etc. and cable entries re-
quire effective sealing. Rubber
shrouds should be provided over
cable glands. Drip-proof (class IP X2
of BS 5490) plugs and sockets to BS
4343 are suitable for use indoors
where the plug is away from the wa-
ter spray area where the appliance is
in use.
uNever touch the mains plug with wet
hands.

Working Advice
General
uNever use a roto nozzle or pencil jet to clean motor
vehicles.
Ensure that the pressure washer is on level ground.
Do not overreach with the high pressure hose or move the
pressure washer by pulling the hose, this could cause the
ma-chine to become unstable and fall over.
Do not kink or drive a motor vehicle over the high pressure
hose. Do not expose the high pressure hose to sharp edges
or corners.
Working advice for cleaning with detergents
uOnly use cleaning agents suitable specifically for high
pressure washers.
We recommend that you use detergent sparingly for the sake
of the environment. Observe the recommended dilution on
the detergent label.
Recommended cleaning method
Step 1: Attach the fan nozzle and remove the heavy dirt.
Step 2: Attach the foam bottle and spray on the detergent
sparingly.
Step 3: Rinse off the loosened dirt and detergent with the
fan nozzle.
Note: When cleaning a vertical surface spray off dirt/deter-
gent from the bottom and work in an upwards direction.
Rinse from the top and work downwards.
Use with alternative water sources
This high-pressure washer will self prime and can draw water
from water tanks and natural water sources. It is IMPORT-
ANT that the water is clean and the BOSCH inlet filter is clear
and fitted to the machine.
Open tanks/containers and natural water
sources
Use the Self Priming accessory kit comprising:
– Inlet strainer with non return valve
– 3m reinforced supply hose
– Universal coupling to the pressure washer
This enables the pressure washer to draw water up to 0.5m
above the water level in the source. This may take up to 15
seconds.
Submerge the 3m hose in water to displace the air. Connect
the 3m supply hose to the pressure washer ensuring that
the inlet strainer remains submerged in the water source.
Run the pressure washer with the lance disconnected until a
steady flow of water appears from the high pressure hose.
Stop if this has not been achieved within 25 seconds and
check all the connections. Switch off and connect the lance
and nozzle to operate.
It is important to ensure that all hose and coupling connec-
tions are of good quality, air tight and that all washers are in
good condition and correctly seated in place. Failure to do
so may affect the self priming performance.
Water Tanks with outlet connections
When connecting the pressure washer to a water tank with a
suitable tap outlet, first connect the supply hose (not
provided) to the tank outlet, open the tap to allow the water
to displace all the air in the hose and then connect to the
pressure washer.
