GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 IN- TERRUPTER PROTECTION

This product is supplied with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the power cord plug. This device pro- vides 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 pow- er is restored. Depending on the GFCI model, it may be necessary to manually operate the reset button to restore pow- er to the GFCI load circuit. If replace- ment 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 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.
