•  Cable connections should be kept dry and off the 

ground.

•  Always uncoil the extension cable com plete ly to 

avoid heat dam age to the cable.

Connect the high pressure washer by means of a 
water hose to the water tap (pressure of inlet wa -
ter, max. 10 bar - temperature of inlet water, max. 
60°C). You may use an or di nary ½" gar den hose of 
min. 10 m and max. 25 m. At tach the hose using 
a quick connector. NOTE: Connection to the public 
mains  according to regulations.

This high pressure washer is only allowed 
to be connected with the drinking water 
mains, when an appropriate backfl ow 

preventer has been installed, Type BA according to 
EN 1717. The backfl ow preventer can be ordered 
under number 106411177. The length of the hose 
between the backfl ow preventer and the high pres-
sure washer must be at least 10 metres to absorb 
possible pressure peaks (min diameter ½ inch).
Operation by suction (for example from a rainwater 
vessel) is carried out without backfl ow preventer. 
Recommended suction set: 126411387.
As soon as water has fl own through the BA valve, 
this water is not considered to be drinking water any 
more.

IMPORTANT! Only use water without any im pu-
 ri ties. If there is a risk of running sand in the inlet 
water (i.e. from your own well), a fi lter should be 
mounted.

•  WARNING! High pressure jets can 

be dan ger ous. Nev er direct the wa-
ter jet at per sons, pets, live elec tri-
 cal equip ment or the ma chine itself.

•  The operator and anyone in the im-

 me di ate vi cin i ty of the site of clean-
 ing should take action to pro tect 
them selves from being struck by 
debris dis lodged dur ing op er a tion. 
Wear goggles during op er a tion.

Before you start up your new machine for the fi rst 
time, you must mount the holder for the spray lance. 
It is fi xed at the top of the transport handle.

1. Insert the holder in the recess of the handle (see 

illu.).

2. Fix the holder with the screw.

Mount water fi lter and water inlet connection (4).

PRO 130/150/160 X-TRA: Mount the handle for the 
hose reel.

Before starting up your machine please check it 
care ful ly for any de fects. If you fi nd any, do not start 
up your ma chine and con tact your Nilfi sk distributor.

Especially check:
•  The insulation of the electric cable should be 

fault less and without any cracks. If the elec tric 
cable is damaged, it should be replaced by an 
authorized Nilfi sk distributor.

The following should be observed when  connecting 
the high pressure washer to the elec tric in stal la tion:
•  Only connect the machine to an in stal la tion with 

earth connection.

•  The electric installation shall be made by a cer ti -

fi ed electrician.

•  It is strong ly rec om mend ed that the elec tric sup -

ply to this ma chine should in clude a re sid u al 
cur rent device (GFCI).
