When reducing the water volume at the pump head or with the pressure/quantity regulator on the high-pressure gun, the overflow valve opens and part of the water flows back to the pump suction side.
If the high-pressure gun is closed so that all the water flows back to the pump suction side, the pressure switch on the overflow valve switches off the pump.
If the high-pressure gun is opened again, the pressure switch on the cylinder head switches the pump on again.
The overflow valve is set and sealed at the factory. The adjustment is performed only by customer service.
The safety valve opens if the overflow valve or pressure switch is faulty.
The safety valve is adjusted and sealed at the factory. The adjustment is performed only by customer service.
The water shortage safeguard prevents the burner from switching on when there is a lack of water.
The exhaust gas thermostat switches the device off when the emission temperature is too high.
