3. Pressure Washer Safety
ವ
Do not operate this machine in the rain. Keep all electrical
connections dry. Do not allow the machine to become wet. Never allow
water to enter ventilation holes
ವ
Always connect a back flow preventer (also called a non-return valve)
between pressure washer and potable water mains to prevent a
backflow contaminating your water supply. Alternatively connect the
pressure washer to a water butt or other stored water supply
ವ
Do not attempt to use this machine in temperatures below 0

ವ
Always connect a ‘continuous flow‘ clean water supply to the
pressure washer. Running the pressure washer dry, or with dirty water,
will cause permanent damage to the pump
ವ
Never connect the pressure washer to a hot water supply, this will
cause the pump to malfunction and could result in permanent damage
ವ
Ensure that the water supply to the pressure washer is at a constant
pressure. If the water supply is 'shared' by another appliance (e.g.
washing machine), ensure that the other appliance is switched off
