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 connected
directly to the public drinking water
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.
Use a water filter to avoid potential
damage from dirt in the water
supply
such as Karcher part
number 4.730-059.0 from
www.kaercher.com.
●
Garden hose must be at least
5/8 inch (16 mm) in diameter.
●
Flow rate of water supply must not
fall below 2 GPM/gallons per minute
(7.6 L/min).
●
Flow rate can be determined by run-
ning the water for one minute into an
empty 5-gallon (18.9 liter) container.
●
The water supply temperature must
not exceed 104°F/40°C.
●
Never use the pressure washer to
draw in water contaminated with
solvents,
e.g. paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.
●
Always prevent debris from being
drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source.
This electric pressure washer is
equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of
the power cord for your protection.
The Consumer Product Safety Com-
mission recommends that you test all
GFCI's once a month. Since the fre-
quency of pressure washer use var-
ies, we recommend that you test the
GFCI as part of your startup proce-
dure each time you use your pressure
washer. It might need to be reset
before working with the pressure
washer. To learn how to perform the
GFCI test and how to reset it, visit
http://www.karcher-help.com and
search for GFCI for further instruc-
tions.
DO NOT USE IF GFCI FAILS
TEST.
NOTE: The actual appearance of the
GFCI may be different from this illustra-
tion.
