What should I do before connecting the BOSCH UNIVERSAL AQUATAK 125 to the mains?

The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond to the voltage of the power source.

It is recommended 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.

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

The electric supply installation should comply with IEC 60364-1.

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.

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 cords 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.

What should I do before connecting the BOSCH UNIVERSAL AQUATAK 125 to the water supply?

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.

What precautions should I take before starting the BOSCH UNIVERSAL AQUATAK 125?

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.

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! This includes petrol, paint thinners, heating oil. The sprayed vapour is 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.

Operation of this machine requires both hands to be used at all times. Do not operate from a ladder. Take care when using the machine on balconies or other raised areas ensuring that you can see any edges at all times.

Only use detergents recommended by the manufacturer. 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 “ON” during operation.

Wear suitable protective clothing to protect against splash water. Do not use the machine in reach of persons, unless these are also wearing protective clothing.

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.

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

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 power washer without water filter, or with a contaminated or damaged water filter. Using the power washer without water filter or with a contaminated or damaged water filter shall void the warranty.
