understanding of the manufacturer’s
operating instructions and warnings be-
fore using this pressure washer.
–Warning information should be empha-
sized and understood.
–If the operator is not fluent in English,
the manufacturer’s instructions and
warnings shall be read to and dis-
cussed with the operator in the opera-
tor’s native language by the purchaser/
owner, making sure that the operator
comprehends its contents.
–Owner and/or user must study and
maintain for future reference the manu-
facturers’ instructions.
This product must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
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 in-
stalled and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electrocution. Check with a qualified electri-
cian or service personnel if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly ground-
ed. Do not modify the plug provided with
the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified elec-
trician. Do not use any type of adapter with
this product.
This product is supplied with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the
power cord plug. This device provides addi-
tional 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 neces-
sary to manually operate the reset button to
restore power to the GFCI load circuit. If re-
placement of the plug or cord is needed use
identical replacement parts.
몇CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to the wa-
ter supply mains, local regulations of your
water company must be observed. In some
areas the unit must not be connected di-
rectly 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 wa-
ter source. Use additional water filter.
