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 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.
