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 can be determined by

running 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

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.
