This product is 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.

 DANGER

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 use any type of adapter with this product.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT

INTERRUPTER 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

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 4.0 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 86°F/30°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.
