Extension Cords
Use only extension cords with a suf-
!
ficient gauge.
Up to 25 ft = 12/3 AWG;
25 to 50 ft = 10/3 AWG.
Use only extension cords that are in-
!
tended for outdoor use. These ex-
tension cords are identified by the
marking "Acceptable for use with
outdoor appliances; store indoors
while not in use."
Use only extension cords having an
!
electrical rating not less than the ra-
ting of the product.
Do not use damaged extension
!
cords.
Examine extension cord before
!
using and replace if damaged.
Do not abuse extension cord and do
!
not yank on any cord to disconnect.
Keep cord away from heat and sharp
!
edges.
Always disconnect the extension
!
cord from the receptacle before dis-
connecting the product from the ex-
tension cord.
If you are using an extension cord, it
!
should always be completely un-
wound from the cable drum.
WARNING
To reduce the risc of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plug with wet hands.
WATER SUPPLY (Cold Water Only)
CAUTION
Dirt in the feed water will damage the
unit. To avoid this risk, we recommend
fitting a water filter.
Water 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 minu-
te).
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.
