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 installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result 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 qualified electrician. Do not

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 replacement of the plug or cord is needed use
identical replacement parts.
WATER SUPPLY
(Cold Water Only)
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 5/8
inch in diameter.
Flow rate of water supply must not
fall below 2 GPM (gallons per
minute).
Flow rate can be determined by run-
ning the water for one minute into an
empty 5-gallon container.
The water supply temperature must
not exceed 104°F/40°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.
