4.1 Environmental protection
•••••
Please dispose of packaging environmentally
responsibly.
The packaging materials are recyclable.
Please do not throw the packaging in with
household rubbish but take it to a recycling
centre.
•••••
Please dispose of scrapped units
environmentally-responsibly.
Scrapped units consist of valuable recyclable
materials that should be taken to a recycling
centre. Batteries, oil and similar products
must not be allowed to contaminate the
environment. Therefore, please dispose of
scrapped units via appropriate disposal
systems.
•••••
Please ensure engine oil, fuel oil, diesel and
petrol
to contaminate the environment. Please
protect the ground and dispose of used oil
ecologically.
4.2 Unpacking the appliance
•••••
Please contact your dealer immediately if, on
unpacking the appliance, you discover damage
has been caused during trans-portation.
4.3 Attaching the accessories
•••••
Attach the two handles to the appliance.
•••••
Fit the spray lance to the hand-held spray gun
with pressure flow control.
•••••
Connect the high-pressure hose accordingly.
•••••
Attach the high-pressure nozzle to the spray
lance.
•••••
Tighten all union nuts hand-tight.
4.4 Checking the oil level of the
high-pressure pump
•••••
Before the initial start-up, open the appliance
hood and cut the tip off the oil tank cover
(venting the oil housing).
4.5 Pouring in the fuel
•••••
The appliance is delivered with an empty fuel
tank.
•••••
Fill the fuel tank with diesel or a light fuel oil
before the initial start-up.
– When the fuel tank is empty, the fuel
pump will operate dry and will be
damaged.
– Unsuitable fuels must not be used,
e.g. petrol (danger of explosion).
4.6 Pouring in the liquid softener
•••••
The liquid softener prevents the heating
element from becoming calcified when
operating with hard supply water. The liquid
softener is added in drops to the supply water
in the water tank. The metering is set to an
average value at the factoy. This setting may
be adjusted to local conditions by customer
service.
•••••
Pour the RM 110 liquid softener (included in
standard delivery) into the filling orifice of the
white tank.
•••••
You can also work without liquid softener
when operating with soft water, e.g. rain water.
In this case you should remove the small (!)
cover from the white tank and place the
supplied spring underneath on the cover
support. Then replace the cover. This prevents
the indicator light on the instrument panel from
continually flashing. This spring must be
removed when operating with supply water.
•••••
Check the oil level in the oil tank. Do not start
the appliance if the oil level has dropped
below “MIN”. Top up the oil as required (see
tech. data, chap. 3).
