BOSCH Aquatak 110 Plus 110 Bar 1600w Pressure Washer Instruction Manual

BOSCH Aquatak 110 Plus 110 Bar 1600w Pressure Washer

Safety Notes

Before start-up please read these instructions!

Before using the machine please read the operating instructions for your unit and comply in particular with these safety instructions.
The warning and information signs attached to the unit provide important information for safe operation.
Apart from the information in the operating instructions comply with the general safety regulations and regulations for the prevention of accidents.

Power Supply

Never direct the water jet at people, animals, the unit or electric components.

• The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond to the voltage of the power source.
• We recommend that this equipment is only connected into a socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that would be actuated by a 30 mA residual current.
• Only use or replace power supply cables for this unit which correspond to the types indicated by the manufacturer. See the operating instructions for the order no. and types.
• If the plug is damaged, pay attention to the following:
• Plugs and sockets conforming to BS 4243 or BS 196 should be used wherever practicable. Domestic pattern plugs to BS 1363 are not recommended but if their use is essential those which have barriers or moulded channels inside should be selected so that if the earth continuity conductor is pulled out of its terminal it is unlikely to be able to touch the phase terminal of the fuse carrier. Domestic pattern plugs to BS 546 should not be used. The wiring of the plug should leave more slack in the earth continuity conductor than in the other cores, so that it is not the first core to be pulled out of its terminal should the cord grip fail. Plugs which have good grips capable of maintaining a firm hold on the cable sheath should be selected. In general, additional means should be provided to relieve stress on cable terminations in the plug. For example, additional cable clamps should be fitted or a substantial chain could be used to tether the machine to a fixed point.
• Plugs and sockets situated near the work site or outdoors should be to class IP 55 of BS 5490 to provide adequate protection against ingress of water, etc. and cable entries require effective sealing. Rubber shrouds should be provided over cable glands. Drip-proof (class IP X2 of BS 5490) plugs and sockets to BS 4343 are suitable for use indoors where the plug is away from the water spray area where the appliance is in use.
• Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
• Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cable or extension lead, otherwise it may be damaged. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• The extension lead must have a cross section in accordance with the operating instructions and be protected against splashed water. The connection must not be in water.
• When replacing couplings on the power supply cable or extension lead the spray water guard and mechanical stability must remain intact.

Water connection

• Comply with the regulations of your water supply company.
• All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
• The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (danger of bursting). A damaged high-pressure hose must be replaced immediately. Only use hoses and connections recommended by the manufacturer.

Application

• Before use, check that the unit and operating equipment are in perfect condition and are safe to operate. Do not use the unit if it is not in perfect condition.
• Never draw in solvent-containing liquids, undiluted acids or solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinners heating oil. The sprayed vapour is highly flammable, explosive and toxic; also acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as these corrode the materials used on the unit.
• The appropriate safety regulations must be observed when using the unit in dangerous area (e.g. petrol stations). It is forbidden to operate the unit in potentially explosive locations.
• The unit must be placed on solid base.
• Only use detergents recommended by the manufacturer and comply with the application, disposal and warning instructions of the detergent manufacturers.
• All current-conducting components in the working area must be protected against splashed water.
• The gun trigger must not be jammed in position during operation.
• Suitable protective clothing must be worn if necessary to protect against splashing from some parts.
• If necessary wear personal protective equipment (PPE) e.g. safety goggles, breathing protection etc to protect against water, particles and/or aerosols sprayed back from parts.
• High pressure may cause objects to rebound. If necessary wear suitable personnel protective equipment such as safety goggles.
• Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned from a minimum distance of 30 cm, otherwise the vehicle tyre/tyre valve could be damaged by the high-pressure jet. The first indication of this is a discoloration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/tyre valves can be deadly dangerous.
• Materials containing asbestos and other materials which contain substances which are hazardous to your health must not be sprayed.
• Only use detergents which have been approved by the manufacturer of the unit.
• Detergents must not be used undiluted. The products are safe to use as they contain no acids, alkalis or substances which are detrimental to the environment. We recommend that the detergents are kept out of the reach of children. If detergent comes into contact with the eyes wash immediately with plenty of water and if swallowed contact a doctor immediately.

Operation

• The operator must use the unit in accordance with the regulations. He/she must take local conditions into account and be aware of other people, especially children, when operating the unit.
• The unit may only be used by authorised persons who have received training or have demonstrated their ability to operate the unit. The unit must not be operated by children or juveniles (danger of accidents due to incorrect use of the unit).
• The unit must never be left unsupervised while the motor is running.
• The water jet from the high-pressure nozzle produces a recoil on the gun. You should therefore hold the gun and spray lance firmly.

Transport

• Switch off the motor and secure the unit before transporting.

Maintenance

• Switch off the unit prior to all cleaning and maintenance work and before replacing components. Pull out the mains plug if the unit is mains-operated.
• Repairs may only be carried out by authorised Bosch Service Centres.
