GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT IN-
TERRUPTER PROTECTION
This Product is supplied with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built
into the power cord plug. This device
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. Depending on
the GFCI model, it may be necessary
to manually operate the reset button to
restore power to the GFCI load circuit.
If the replacement of the plug or cord is
needed use identical replacement
parts.
WATER SUPPLY
(Cold Water Only)
몇 CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to the
water supply mains, local regulations
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 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 3/4
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 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, gasoline, oil, etc.
– Always prevent debris from being
drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source. Use additional water
filter.
