The mains charging cable must be inspected regularly for signs of damage and ageing (brittleness) and may only be used in perfect condition.

Putting into storage:
Do not store the battery over 45°C or under direct sunlight. Ideally, the battery should not be stored below 25°C so that the self-discharge is low. Never store it connected to one of the connecting devices to prevent misuse and accidents.

Do not store battery in places with static electricity.

The battery must not be opened.

If required, the stopper can be shifted:

1. Press the release button and remove the Controller .

Operation

Unwind:

• Pull out hose to desired length.

Roll up:

• With the end of the hose, go back to the Hose Box and hold the button pressed until the hose has been rolled up to the desired length.

Protective function: If the hose is blocked or completely rolled up, the motor automatically switches off.

• When the connecting hose is removed from the tap, place it onto the anti-drip device so that no water will drip from the hose.

Do not direct water jet directly into the housing.

LED display of battery-charging status

The charging level of the battery is displayed briefly every time the button is pressed. When the battery is fully charged, the hose can be rolled up to 25 times.
