Connecting to the mains

• The voltage of the power source must correspond with the data on the type plate of the product.

• We recommend that this product is only connected into a socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that
  would be actuated by a 30 mA residual current.

• The circuit breaker supplying mains power to the high-pressure washer should have no less than a C16 rating. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician for further advice. Do not attempt to modify your electrical system yourself.

• Remove the plug from socket whenever the machine is left unattended for any period.

• The electric supply installation should comply with IEC 60364-1. u If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. u If the plug is damaged, pay attention to the following:

• 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 pull plug while operating the device.

• Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cord or extension cord, otherwise it may be damaged. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

• Do not use the unit, if the power supply cord or important parts, e. g. high-pressure hose, power gun or safety devices are damaged.

• Warning: Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous.

• If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction. The extension cord 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 plugs 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.

• Make sure that the supply hose is at least 12.7 mm (1/2″) in diameter and is reinforced.

• The appliance should never be used on the drinking water supply without a back flow valve. Water which has
  passed the back flow valve is regarded as undrinkable.

• 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.

• High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the appliance. Use only hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

• Only clean or filtered water should be used for intake. Application u Before use, check that the machine and operating equipment are in perfect condition and are safe to operate. Do not use if it is not in perfect condition.

• Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to clean clothes or footwear.

• Do not use solvent-containing liquids, undiluted acids, acetone or solvents, including petrol, paint thinners, heating oil. The sprayed vapours are highly flammable, explosive and toxic.

• The appropriate safety regulations must be observed when using the unit in dangerous areas (e. g. petrol stations). It is forbidden to operate the unit in potentially explosive locations.

• The unit must be placed on a solid base.

• Take care if using the machine in a confined space ensuring that there is adequate ventilation. Ensure that all vehicles are switched off at all times whilst cleaning.

• The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may adversely affect the safety of the machine.

• All current-conducting components in the work area must be protected against splashed water.

• The gun trigger must not be jammed in position “ON” during operation.

• During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous to health.

• Shielded nozzles can reduce the aerosol effect. 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 in order to avoid damages by the high-pressure jet. The first indication of damage is the discolouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/ tyre valves are dangerous to life.

• Materials containing asbestos and other materials which contain substances which are hazardous to your health must not be sprayed.

• 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.

• Never use the pressure washer without the filter or with a dirty or damaged filter. Using the pressure washer without a filter or with a dirty or damaged filter may invalidate the warranty.

Working Advice
General
Never use a roto nozzle or pencil jet to clean motor vehicles.
Ensure that the pressure washer is on level ground.
Do not overreach with the high pressure hose or move the pressure washer by pulling the hose, this could cause the ma-chine to become unstable and fall over.
Do not kink or drive a motor vehicle over the high pressure hose. Do not expose the high pressure hose to sharp edges or corners.
Working advice for cleaning with detergents
Only use cleaning agents suitable specifically for high pressure washers.
We recommend that you use detergent sparingly for the sake of the environment. Observe the recommended dilution on the detergent label.
The high-pressure foam nozzle supplied with this product includes a regulator to control detergent use. Adjust as required.
Recommended cleaning method
Step 1: Attach the fan nozzle and remove the heavy dirt. Only for EasyAquatak 110/120:
Step 2: Attach the foam bottle and spray on the detergent sparingly.
Step 3: Rinse off the loosened dirt and detergent with the fan nozzle.
Note: When cleaning a vertical surface spray off dirt/detergent from the bottom and work in an upwards direction.
Rinse from the top and work downwards.
Use with alternative water sources This high-pressure washer will self prime and can draw water from water tanks and natural water sources. It is IMPORTANT that the water is clean and the BOSCH inlet filter is clear and fitted to the machine. Open tanks/containers and natural water sources Use the Self Priming accessory kit comprising:

• Inlet strainer with non return valve
• 3 m reinforced supply hose
• Universal coupling to the pressure washer

This enables the pressure washer to draw water up to 0.5 m above the water level in the source. This may take up to 15 seconds.
Submerge the 3 m hose in water to displace the air. Connect the 3 m supply hose to the pressure washer ensuring that the inlet strainer remains submerged in the water source. Run the pressure washer with the lance disconnected until a steady flow of water appears from the high pressure hose. Stop if this has not been achieved within 25  seconds and check all the connections. Switch off and connect the lance and nozzle to operate.
It is important to ensure that all hose and coupling connections are of good quality, air tight and that all washers are in good condition and correctly seated in place. Failure to
do so may affect the self priming performance.
Water Tanks with outlet connections
When connecting the pressure washer to a water tank with a suitable tap outlet, first connect the supply hose (not provided) to the tank outlet, open the tap to allow the water to displace all the air in the hose and then connect to the pressure washer.
