Warning
Long hours of using the appliance can
cause circulation problems in the hands on
account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid
operation time, since this depends on sev-
eral factors:
Proneness to blood circulation deficien-
cies (cold, numb fingers).
Low ambient temperature. Wear warm
gloves to protect hands.
A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
Continuous operation is worse than an
operation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of
the device and in case of repeated occur-
rence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fin-
gers) please consult a physician.
Open the water supply.
Start the engine according to the oper-
ating instructions of the engine manu-
facturer.
Press the lever on the hand spray gun.
Close the hand spray gun.
Turn the casing of the nozzle till the de-
sired symbol matches the marking.
Select round or flat spray using touch-
less switching:

right.
Note
To prevent damage due to too much pres-
sure, always position high pressure ray first
from a greater distance towards object to
be cleaned.
Set the working pressure and the volume
using the pressure and quantity regular at
the pump head:
Turning the quantity regulation valve in
clock-wise direction will result in higher
working pressure and larger volume.
Turning the quantity regulation valve in
an anti-clockwise direction will result in
lower workign pressure and smaller
quantities.
