user and must not be put out of operation or
bypassed with respect to their function.
Overflow valve with two pressure
switches
While reducing the water supply at the
–
pump head or with the Servopress -
regulation the overflow valve opens and
part of the water flows back to the pump
suck side.
If the hand-spray gun is closed, so that
–
the whole water flows back to the pump
suck side, the pressure switch at the
overflow valve shuts down the pump.
If the hand spray gun is opened, the
–
pressure switch on the cylinder head
turns the pump back on.
The overflow valve is set by the manufac-
turer and sealed. Setting only by customer
service.
Safety valve
The safety valve opens, when the over-
–
flow valve resp. the pressure switch is
broken.
The safety valve is set by the manufacturer
and sealed. Setting only by customer ser-
vice.
