SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to
the water supply mains, local regula-
tions of your water company must be
observed. In some areas the unit
must not be connected directly to the
public drinking water supply. This is
to ensure that there is no feedback of
chemicals into the water supply. Di-
rect 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 recom-
mend fitting a water filter.
!
Garden hose must be at least 5/8
inch in diameter.
!
Flow rate of water supply must not
fall below 4.0 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.
!
Do not operate pressure washer
without the water turned on.
