GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This device must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least re-
sistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
This device is equipped with a cord
having an equipment grounding con-
ductor and ground plug.
The plug must be plugged into an ap-
propriate outlet that is properly in-
stalled and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equip-
mentgrounding conductor can re-
sult in a risk of electrocution.
Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with
the product - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qual-
ified electrician.
Do not use any type of adapter with this
product.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
This appliance is supplied with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
built into the power cord plug. This de-
vice provides additional protection
from the risk of electric shock. If power
is interrupted in the line, the GFCI will
automatically re-close the circuit to the
load after power is restored. Depend-
ing on the GFCI model, it may be nec-
essary to operate the reset button to
restore power to the GFCI load circuit.
If replacement of the plug or cord is
needed use identical replacement
parts.
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 3/4'' 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 120° F/40° C.
Never use the pressure washer to
draw in water contaminated with sol-
