GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding 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 electri-
cian or service personnel if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly ground-
ed. Do not modify the plug provided with
the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified elec-
trician. Do not use any type of adapter with
this product.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
To comply with the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70) and to provide additional protec-
tion from the risk of electric shock, this
pressure washer should only be connected
to a receptacle that is protected by a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only extension cords that are intended
for outdoor use. These extension cords are
identified by a marking "Acceptable for use
with out-door appliances: store indoors
while not in use." Use only extension cords
having an electrical rating not less than the
rating of the product. Do not use damaged
extension cords. Examine extension cord
before using and replace if damaged. Do
not abuse extension cord and do not yank
on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away
from heat and sharp edges. Always discon-
nect the extension cord from the receptacle

WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch plug with wet hands.

WATER SUPPLY

CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to the wa-
ter supply mains, local regulations of your
water company must be observed. In some
areas the unit must not be connected di-
rectly 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 1 inch in
diameter.
– Flow rate of water supply must not fall
below 8,8 GPM (gallons per minute).
– Flow rate can be determined by running
the water for one minute into an empty
8.8-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 wa-
ter source. Use additional water filter.
