Connecting The Water Supply - Stihl RE 130 PLUS Notice D'emploi

5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– Check the pressure washer's power
supply cord or plug regularly for damage.
If it becomes damaged, disconnect the
pressure washer from the power supply.
Never use a damaged power supply cord
or plug.
– Do not abrade, crush, jerk, or otherwise abuse or
misuse the power supply cord. Protect it from heat,
oil and sharp edges.
– If the power supply cord becomes damaged, have it
replaced by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer
before use. A damaged power supply cord must be
replaced with an identical STIHL replacement part.
– Unplug the power supply cord when the pressure
washer is not in use.
– Never yank or jerk the power supply cord to
disconnect. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the power
supply cord.
– Make sure the power supply cord is positioned and
secured or marked so that it will not be stepped on,
tripped over, come in contact with sharp objects,
moving parts, or otherwise be subjected to damage
or stress.
￭ This power tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized electrical
outlet only one way. To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Do not change the plug in any way.
– If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, use a different outlet or
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet.

Connecting the Water Supply

WARNING
￭ When the spray gun trigger is released, fluid recoil may
push non-potable water back into the potable water
system.
0458-836-8221-A
– Do not connect the pressure washer
directly to a potable water system.
– If hooking up the pressure washer to a potable water
system, a backflow preventer must be installed
between the water tap and the hose. The design of
the backflow preventer must comply with all
applicable water management codes and
regulations in your area.
￭ If potable water has passed through the backflow
preventer, it can no longer be regarded as potable water.
To prevent contamination of potable water:
– Follow the rules laid down by the local water supply
company to prevent water flowing back from the
pressure washer into the drinking water main.
– Do not use the pressure washer with dirty water (i.e.,
water that contains sand, dirt or other particulate
matter). If there is a risk that the water supply is dirty,
use an appropriate water filter or find an alternative
water source.
