WATER SUPPLY

CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet with
the water supply mains, local regula-
tions 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 connec-
tion via a receiver tank or backflow pre-
venter, 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 4 GPM (gallons per min-
ute).
 Flow rate can be determined by run-
ning the water for one minute into an
empty 4-gallon container.
 The water temperature must not ex-
ceed 140° F/60° C.
 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. Use additional water
filter.

ing instructions and the en-
