GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT IN-
TERRUPTER PROTECTION
This product is supplied with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into
the power cord plug. This device pro-
vides additional protection from the risk
of electric shock. If power is interrupted
in the line, the GFCI will automatically
re-close the circuit to the load after pow-
er is restored. Depending on the GFCI
model, it may be necessary to manually
operate the reset button to restore pow-
er to the GFCI load circuit. If replace-
ment of the plug or cord is needed use
identical replacement parts.
WATER SUPPLY
(Cold Water Only)
CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to the
water supply mains, local regulations of
your water company must be observed.
In some areas the unit must not be con-
nected directly to the public drinking wa-
ter supply. This is to ensure that there is
no feedback of chemicals into the water
supply. Direct connection via a receiver
tank or backflow preventer, for example,
is permitted.
Dirt in the feed water will damage the
unit. To avoid this risk, we recommend
fitting a water filter.
Garden hose must be at least 5/8
!
inch in diameter.
Flow rate of water supply must not
!
fall below 2 GPM (gallons per
minute).
Flow rate can be determined by run-
!
ning the water for one minute into an
empty 5-gallon container.
The water supply temperature must
!
not exceed 104°F/40°C.
Never use the pressure washer to
!
draw in water contaminated with sol-
vents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oil, etc.
Always prevent debris from being
!
drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source.
