DANGER
– Do not use high pressure cleaners
when there has been an oil spill; move
the appliance to another spot and avoid
any sort of spark formation.
– Do not store, spill or use fuel in the vi-
cinity of open flames or appliances such
as ovens, boilers, water heaters, etc.
that have an ignition flame or can gen-
erate sparks.
– Keep even mildly inflammable objects
and materials away from the muffler (at
least 2 m).
– Do not start the engine without the muf-
fler; check, clean and replace, if re-
quired, the muffler at regular intervals.
– Do not use the engine in forest, bushes
or grassy areas without fitting a spark
receiver at the exhaust
– Except for setting jobs, do not run the en-
gine when the air filter is removed or there
is no cover over the suction support.
– Do not make any adjustments to the
regulator springs, regulator bars or oth-
er parts that can bring forth an increase
in the engine speed.
– Risk of burns! Do not touch hot muf-
flers, cylinders or radiator ribs.
– Do not put hands or feet close to mov-
ing or rotating parts.
– Risk of poisoning! The appliance should
not be operated in closed rooms.
– Do not use unsuitable fuels, as they
may be dangerous.

Safety Devices

Safety devices serve for the protection of the
user and must not be put out of operation or
bypassed with respect to their function.
Overflow valve
– If the hand spray gun is closed, the
overflow valve opens and the high pres-
sure pump diverts the water back to the
pump suction side. Thus the permissi-
ble working pressure is not exceeded.
– The overflow valve is set by the manu-
facturer and sealed. Setting only by
customer service.
