SPECIFIC RULES FOR PRESSURE WASHERS
6
WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until you have read
and understood the following safety rules. Learn the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible
hazards to maximize your safety and the lifetime of the tool.
BEFORE OPERATION
1. KNOW YOUR TOOL. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your pressure washer. Know how to
stop the water pressure quickly by releasing the trigger, shutting off the unit and turning off the water
supply.
2. USE SUITABLE COMPONENTS. This system is capable of producing pressure up to 2,100 PSI/14,500
kPa. To avoid rupture and injury, do not operate this pump with components rated less than 2,100
PSI/14,500 kPa working pressure (including but not limited to spray guns, hoses and hose connections).
3. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT. Keep bystanders, children and animals at a safe distance away from
the work area. Do not operate near flammable materials or explosive vapors.
4. WEAR SAFETY EQUIPMENT. For protection against injury, wear safety goggles and ear protection.
Wear rubber-soled shoes during operation to reduce the risk of electric shock.
5. PRELIMINARY UNIT INSPECTION. Thoroughly inspect the unit and accessories prior to operation.
Make sure all the parts are secured and installed correctly. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of
damage such as broken or cracked insulation. Have damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary.
Always perform a test run the first time you use the tool or after replacing parts to ensure that the unit
is functioning properly.
6. MALFUNCTIONING SWITCH. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn on and off. Any electrical
appliance that cannot be controlled by the switch is not safe to use and must be repaired.
7. DETERGENT SAFETY. Always be aware of the dangers associated with the detergents and chemicals
that you are working with. Follow the warnings and instructions that come with your detergent for
proper use.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
1. COLD WATER ONLY. Use the pressure washer with cold water only. The water supply temperature
must not exceed 104°F/40°C.
2. POTABLE WATER RESTRICTIONS. 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. If connection is made to a potable water system, the system MUST be protected
against backflow. Direct connection via a receiver tank or backflow preventer, for example, is permitted.
3. AVOIDING DIRT. Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by using a clean water source.
Dirt in the feed water will damage the unit. Your washer is pre-installed with a water filter inside the
water inlet. Inspect and clean the filter regularly. Never use the pressure washer to draw in water
contaminated with solvents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.
4. WATER FLOW. The garden hose must be at least 5/8 inch in diameter. Flow rate of water supply must
not fall below 2 GPM (gallons per minute).
