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 connected directly to the
public drinking water 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 3/4 inch in
diameter.
„
Flow rate of water supply must not fall
below 3,0 GPM (HD 2.3/15 C Ed), 4,0 GPM
(HD 3.0/20 C Ea) (gallons per minute).
„
Flow rate can be determined by running the
water for one minute into an empty 5-gallon
container.
„
The water supply temperature must not
exceed 140°F/60°C.
„
Never use the pressure washer to draw in
water contaminated with solvents, e.g.
paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.
„
Always prevent debris from being drawn
into the unit by using a clean water source.
