SAFETY DEVICES
• Thermal protection.
This device stops the high pressure water cleaner if the electric motor overheats. If this
occurs, proceed as follows:
- Place the master switch (1) in position “0” and disconnect the plug from the wall socket;
- Press lever (22) of the gun to discharge possible residual pressure;
- Wait 10-15 minutes to allow the high-pressure cleaner to cool;
- Check that the requirement for the mains power connections have been respected (see
the INSTRUCTION MANUAL - SAFETY WARNINGS), paying particular attention if an extension
lead is used;
- Reconnect the plug and repeat the start procedure described at paragraph “OPERATION”.
• Pressure restriction/adjustment valve.
This valve that is calibrated by the manufacturer, which allows the fluid pumped to return to
the suction line of the pump, which avoids dangerous pressures when the high pressure
water gun is shut-off or when attempting to set pressures above the admitted values.
• Gun lever blocking device.
This safety catch (23) allows to block the lever (22) of the gun (24) in the closed position,
preventing accidental activation (Fig. 2, position S).

walls with thickness of no less than 10 cm/4”; do not mount the high pressure water cleaner
on walls made of plasterboard, wood, sheet metal or any other material that is not suitable
to take the wall-plugs supplied.
• To mount on the wall, use exclusively the kit supplied (bracket, screws, wall-plugs and
nuts): if any part of the kit is lost or damaged during installation, contact your dealer to
have it replaced.
• Rest the bracket (11) against the wall and trace two marks with a pencil through the holes
F (See FIG. 1) that will act as a reference for drilling the holes: position the frame roughly at
the height of your shoulders to ensure ease of use.
• Using a 10 mm/0.4” bit (not supplied), suitable for drilling brick/reinforced cement walls,
drill two holes, approximately 8-9 cm/3.2-3.5” in depth where the holes were marked
earlier. When drilling the holes, pay attention to the safety warnings given in the use
and maintenance manual of the drill used. Also remember to make sure no pipes and/or
electrical cables run through the wall where you drill the holes.
• Put the wall-plugs (14) in the holes, making sure their necks are ush with the wall: do not
push the wall-plugs too far into the wall and do not leave them protruding from it either.
• Using a 5 mm/0.2” xed jaw spanner (not supplied), screw the screws (9) until the threaded
part enters the wall-plug completely. See FIG. 5A.
• Put the rubber rings (10) in the safety hooks (3) and (7), and then put the hooks in the wall
