discolouration of the tyres. Keep a spray distance of at
least 30 cm when cleaning the wheels / tyre valves.
WARNING Ɣ࣯Do not use the device if people
without the proper protective clothing are in its reach.
Ɣ࣯With short spray lances, your hand may come into
contact with the high-pressure jet. Never use a spotlight
nozzle or rotary nozzle with steel tubes that are shorter
than 75 cm. Ɣ࣯A recoil force will arise due to the water
stream ejecting from the spray lance. An angular spray
lance produces a force that acts in upward direction.
Make sure you grip the gun and spray lance firmly.
Ɣ࣯When using angular spray units, recoil forces and
twisting forces may alter. Ɣ࣯Do not aim the high-pres-
sure jet at yourself, e.g. to clean clothes or shoes. Ɣ࣯Do
not direct the high-pressure jet at persons, animals, live
electrical equipment or at the device itself. Ɣ࣯Do not
spray any objects which contain harmful substances
(e.g. asbestos). Ɣ࣯Check the device and the accesso-
ries, such as the high-pressure hose, high-pressure gun
and safety devices, to make sure they are in proper safe
and reliable condition before each operation. Do not use
the device if it is damaged. Replace damaged compo-
nents immediately. Ɣ࣯Only use high-pressure hoses,
control panels and couplings specified by the manufac-
turer.

vised while it is in operation. Ɣ࣯Never open the cover
while the motor is running. Ɣ࣯Never clamp the lever of
the high-pressure gun during operation. Ɣ࣯Allow the
hoses to cool down after hot water operation or operate
the device briefly using cold water operation. Ɣ࣯The de-
vice must be placed on an even, firm subsurface. Ɣ࣯Be-
fore cleaning, carry out a risk assessment of the surface
to be cleaned to determine any health and safety pro-
tection requirements. The necessary protective meas-
ures must be taken accordingly.
ATTENTION Ɣ࣯Do not operate the device at tem-
peratures below 0 °C. Ɣ࣯Only clean the motor at wash-
ing stations with an oil separator.


ticular instructions on protective gear. Ɣ࣯Only use the
detergents supplied or specified by the manufacturer.
The use of other detergents or chemicals can impair the
safety of the device. Ɣ࣯Never use the recommended de-
tergents undiluted. These products are operationally
safe since they do not contain any acids, alkali or sub-
stances that are harmful to the environment. Should de-
tergents come into contact with eyes, rinse these out
immediately and thoroughly using water and seek med-
ical attention immediately. The same applies if deter-
gents are swallowed.
