SPRAY GUNS, HOSE AND HOSE 
CONNECTIONS).

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.

This product must be grounded. If it 
should malfunction or breakdown, 
grounding provides a path of least resis-
tance for electric current to reduce the 
risk of electric shock. This product is 
equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug must be plugged into 
an appropriate outlet that is properly in-
stalled and grounded in accordance with 
all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk 
of electrocution. Check with a qualified 
electrician or service personnel if you are 
in doubt as to whether the outlet is prop-
erly grounded. Do not modify the plug 
provided with the product - if it will not fit 
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed 
by a qualified electrician. Do not use any 
type of adapter with this 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.
