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
provides additional protection from the
risk of electric shock. If power is inter-
rupted in the line, the GFCI will auto-
matically 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 the replacement 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 ob-
served. 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 connec-
tion via a receiver tank or backflow pre-
venter, 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 2.5 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 140°F/60°C (HD 2.3/15
4
C Ed, HD 3.0/20 C Ea), 176°F/80°C
(HD 2.3/14 C Ed Food).
Never use the pressure washer to
–
draw in water contaminated with
solvents, e.g. paint thinners, gaso-
line, oil, etc.
Always prevent debris from being
–
drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source. Use additional water
filter.
WARNING
Do not spray electrical apparatus and
wiring.
Do not use with flammable liquids and
toxic chemicals.
Injection hazard: equipment can cause
serious injury if the spray penetrates
the skin. do not point the gun at anyone
or any part of the body. In case of pen-
etration seek medical aid immediately.
This system is capable of producing
10400 kPa/1500 PSI (HD 2.3/15 C Ed),
13000 kPa/2000 PSI (HD 3.0/20 C Ea).
To avoid rupture and injury, do not op-
erate this pump with components rated
less than 10400 kPa/1500 PSI (HD
2.3/15 C Ed), 13000 kPa/2000 PSI (HD
3.0/20 C Ea) working pressure (includ-
ing but not limited to spray guns, hose
and hose connections).
Before servicing, cleaning or removing
any parts, shut off power and relieve
pressure.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding-type plugs
and 3-pole cord connectors that accept
the plug from the product. Use only ex-
tension cords that are intended for out-
door use. These extension cords are
identified by a marking "Acceptable for
