3.5 CHECK THE COLD WATER SUPPLY
Check local regulations of your municipal water company to check if
a backflow prevention device is required when hooking up to drinking
water. This ensures no feedback of chemicals will return to the water
supply. Use a water filter to avoid potential damage from dirt in the
water supply.
Garden hose must be at least 1/2" interior diameter
Flow rate of water must not fall below 4.0 GPM. Flow rate can be
determined by running hose into an empty 5 gallon pail for 1 minute.
The water supply temperature must not exceed 40°C/104°F.
Never use the pressure washer to draw in water contaminated with
solvents eg. paint thinners, gasoline, oil etc.
Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source and additional water filter.
DO NOT operate pressure washer without the water supply turned on.
