Grounding Instructions

any part of the body. In case of penetra- tion seek medical aid immediately. This system is capable of producing 13800 kPa /2000 PSI to avoid rupture and injury, do not operate this pump with components rated less than

13800 kPa /2000 PSI working pressure (including but not limited to spray guns, hose and hose connections).

Before servicing, cleaning or removing any parts, shut off power and relieve pressure.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resis- tance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equip- ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in ac- cordance with all local codes and ordi- nances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment- grounding 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 in- stalled by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of adapter with this prod- uct.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTER-

RUPTER PROTECTION

This pressure washer is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI)

built into the plug of the power-supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.

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 con- nected directly to the public drinking wa- ter 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 1/2 inch or 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 sol- vents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.

Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by using a clean water source.
