WATER SUPPLY
CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to the
water supply mains, local regulations
of your water company must be ob-
served. 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 1/2
–
inch in diameter.
Flow rate of water supply must not
–
fall below 2.5 GPM (gallons per
minute).
Flow rate can be determined by
–
running the water for one minute
into an empty 2,5-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, gaso-
line, oil, etc.
Always prevent debris from being
–
drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source. Use additional water
filter.
HD 4/9 only: EXTENSION

identified by a marking "Acceptable for

Keep cord away from heat and sharp
edges. Always disconnect the exten-
sion cord from the receptacle before
disconnecting the product from the ex-
