TURE AND INJURY, DO NOT 
OPERATE THIS PUMP WITH COM-
PONENTS RATED LESS THAN 1600 
PSI WORKING PRESSURE (INCLUD-
ING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SPRAY 
GUNS, HOSE AND HOSE CONNEC-
TIONS).

BEFORE SERVICING, CLEANING OR 
REMOVING ANY PARTS, SHUT OFF 
POWER AND RELIEVE PRESSURE.

IF CONNECTION IS MADE TO A PO-
TABLE WATER SYSTEM, THE SYS-
TEM SHALL BE PROTECTED 
AGAINST BACK FLOW.

In a double-insulated product, two sys-
tems of insulation are provided instead 
of grounding. No grounding means is 
provided on a double-insulated product, 
nor should a means for grounding be 
added to the product. Servicing a dou-
ble-insulated product requires extreme 
care and knowledge of the system, and 
should be done only by qualified service 
personnel. Replacement parts for a dou-
ble-insulated product must be identical 
to the parts they replace. A doubleinsu-
lated product is marked with the words 
“DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE 
INSULATED”. The symbol “ ” may also 
be marked on the product.

This pressure washer is provided with a 
ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) 
built into the plug of the power-supply 
cord. This device provides additional 
protection from the risk of electric shock. 
Should replacement of the plug or cord 
become necessary, use only identical 
replacement parts that include GFCI 
protection.

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 13 mm 
or 16 mm (1/2 inch or 5/8) inch in di-
ameter.

Flow rate of water supply must not 
fall below 7.6 L/min. (2 GPM/gallons 
per minute).

Flow rate can be determined by run-
ning the water for one minute into an 
empty 20 litre (5-gallon) container.

The water supply temperature must 
not exceed 40°C/104°F.

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.
