1. Unit Start-Up
CAUTION:
- FIRE HAZARD! Do not operate the high-pres-
sure cleaner if fuel has been spilled. Instead,
move the machine to a different location and
avoid creating sparks of any kind.
- Do not store, spill or use engine fuels near
open flame or in the vicinity of devices featu-
ringanopenpilotflame,suchasboilers,water
heaters,etc.,ordevicethatmaycreatesparks
of any kind.
- Keep flammable items and materials away
fromtheenginesilencer(minimumdistance:2
meters).
- Do not operate the motor without the silencer,
and check and clean the latter on a regular
basis. Replace if necessary.
- Do not use the motor in woods, scrubs and
grasslands without having a spark catcher at-
tached to the silencer.
- Except during engine tuning, do not operate
the engine with the air cleaner removed, or
without a suitable cover over the air intake.
- Donotmakeadjustmentstogovernorsprings,
governor linkages or other parts that may re-
sult in a higher engine RPM.
- BURN HAZARD! Do not touch hot silencers,
cylinders or cooling fins.
- ASPHYXIATION HAZARD! Exhaust fumes

1.1 Unpacking the unit
lShould you notice any transport damage during
unpacking, notify your dealer immediately.
lBecauseyoucareabouttheenvironment,please
donotdisposeofpackagingcomponentsinregu-
lar domestic waste. Instead, take the items to a
collection point for recycling.
1.2 Attaching the accessories
lMounttheholdingbasketforthedetergent(3me-
tal hoops) to the push handle.
lAttach the push handle to the unit.
1.3 Engine
lPrior to using the unit, read the operating instruc-
tions supplied by the engine manufacturer, and
pay particular attention to the safety instructions.
lFill the fueltank with unleadedpetrol. Do not use
a petrol/oil mixture for two-stroke engines.
lThe engine is supplied without engine oil. A cer-
tain amount of engine oil is packaged with the
unit. Pour this engine oil into the oil filler hole on
the engine.
lChecktheengineoillevel.Donotstarttheengine
if the oil level has dropped below the „MIN“ level.
Top up oil if necessary.
1.4 Pump
lThe pump is filled with oil. An oil change is not
required.
1.5 Water inlet
lSee „Specifications“ for connection data.
1.Screw male coupling (11) onto the machine.
Do not overtighten.
2.Screwfemalecoupling(10)ontomaleendofgar-
den hose. Be sure the hose end is in good condi-
tion so a leak does not occur. Do not overtighten.
3.To connect, push female coupling onto male
coupling all the way until it clicks twice to assure
full flow of water to the pump.
Caution: Failure to push female coupling on all the
way can damage the pump if allowed to run dry.
4.Turnonwatersupply:Ifleakoccurs,retracesteps
1to3, makingsure connectionsare tightandthat
couplings are not reversed.
Caution: The male and female connection are
not the same thread size. Reversing the connec-
tionswill damage thecouplingand cause awater
leak preventing the pump from priming properly.
1.6 Suction feed operation
To draw water from an open reservoir, proceed as
follows:
lRemove the threaded coupling from the unit’s
water inlet, and directly connect a suction feed
hose with filter (order no. 4.440-238) to the water
inlet.
lSet the metering ring on the detergent suction
hose to zero.
lWithout the high-pressure hose being attached,
operate the pump until a solid stream of water
exits at the high-pressure outlet.
lAt this point, connect the high-pressure hose
again.
Note: Dirt in the feed water could lead to the ap-
pliance being damaged. To avoid this risk, we
recommend fitting a filter. A suitable filter with
3/4" connection (order no. 4.730-059).
1.7 Spray lance
lTo attach the spray lance to the hand gun, insert
the spray lance into the bayonet coupling of the
handgun.Overcomingthespringpressure,firmly
press the lance into the coupling and twist it a
quarter-turn until it locks into place.
