SERVICING OF A

DOUBLE-INSULATED PRODUCT

WATER SUPPLY

(COLD WATER ONLY)

GROUND-FAULT

CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTER PROTECTION

In a double-insulated product, two systems of

insulation are provided instead of grounding. No

grounding means is provided on a double-insulated

product, nor should a means for grounding be

added to the product. Servicing a double insulated

product requires extreme care and knowledge of

the system, and should be done only by quali-

ﬁ ed service personnel. Replacement parts for a

double-insulated product must be identical to the

parts they replace. A double-insulated product is

marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or

“DOUBLE INSULATED”. The symbol “



” may also

be marked on the product.

This pressure washer is provided with a ground-

fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug

of the power-supply cord. This device provides

additional protection from the risk of electric shock.

Should replacement of the plug or cord become

necessary, use only identical replacement parts

that include GFCI protection.

CAUTION

When connecting the water inlet to the water sup-

ply 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 connec-

tion via a receiver tank or backﬂ ow preventer, for

example, is permitted.

Dirt in the feed water will damage the unit. To avoid

this risk, we recommend ﬁ tting a water ﬁ lter.

■ Garden hose must be at least 1/2 inch or 5/8

inch (13 mm or 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 running the

water for one minute into an empty 5 gallon

(20 litre) container.

■ The water supply temperature must not ex-

ceed 40°C/104°F.

■ 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.

results.

■ If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping,

use extreme caution as pressure washer may

remove the loose paint from the surface.

■ When using on surfaces which might come in

contact with food, ﬂ ush surfaces with plenty

of drinking water.

fresh water. If using detergent, apply to surface at

low pressure. For best results, clean one side of

vehicle at a time and always apply detergent from

bottom to top. Do not allow detergent to dry on

surface. If needed, use a rotating wash brush (not

pressure in a sweeping motion, keeping the spray

nozzle approximately 6-8 in. (15-20 cm) from the

cleaning surface (distance should increase when

rinsing pin-striping or other sensitive surfaces).

Always clean from top to bottom and from left

to right. For best results, wipe surface dry with a

chamois or soft dry cloth.

(with or without detergent) Pre-rinse cleaning

surface with fresh water. If using detergent or

degreaser, apply at low pressure. Allow detergent

or degreaser to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do

MANTENIMIENTO DE UN

PRODUCTO CON DOBLE

AISLAMIENTO

SUMINISTRO DE AGUA

(AGUA FRÍA ÚNICAMENTE)

En los productos con doble aislamiento, se propor-

cionan dos sistemas de aislamiento en vez de una

puesta a tierra. No se suministra puesta a tierra en

un producto de doble aislamiento y tampoco debe-

rán añadirse medios de puesta a tierra al producto.

La reparación de un producto de doble aislamiento

requiere de extremos cuidados y conocimiento del

sistema, y debería llevarse a cabo únicamente

por personal cualiﬁ cado. Las piezas de repuesto

de un producto con doble aislamiento deben ser

idénticas a las piezas que reemplazan. Un producto

de doble aislamiento está marcado con las pala-

bras "DOBLE AISLAMIENTO" o "DOBLEMENTE

AISLADO". El símbolo “



” también podría estar

marcado sobre este producto.

PROTECCIÓN DEL

INTERRUPTOR DE CIRCUITO CON

FALLA A TIERRA

Esta hidrolavadora a presión se suministra con

un interruptor de circuito con falla a tierra (GFCI,

por sus siglas en inglés) integrado en el enchufe

o cable de alimentación. Este dispositivo pro-

porciona protección adicional contra el riesgo de

shock eléctrico. Si llegara a requerir reemplazar

el enchufe o el cable, use únicamente piezas de

recambio que incluyan una protección GFCI.

PRECAUCIÓN

Al conectar la pieza de acoplamiento para co-

nexión de agua a las tomas de suministro de agua,

deberán observarse las normativas locales de su

compañía de agua. En algunas zonas, la unidad

no debe conectarse directamente a un suministro

de agua potable público. Esto es para asegurar

que no se dé retroalimentación de químicos hacia

el suministro de agua. La conexión directa por

medio de un tanque receptor o un desconector,

por ejemplo, sí está permitida.

La suciedad en el suministro de agua dañará la

unidad. Para evitar este riesgo, recomendamos

acoplar un ﬁ ltro de agua.

■ El diámetro de la manguera del jardín debe

ser de 1/2 pulgada o 5/8 pulgadas (13 mm o

16 mm).

■ La tasa del ﬂ ujo del suministro de agua no

debe caer por debajo de 2 GPM (galones por

minuto) (7.6 L/min.).

■ La tasa de ﬂ ujo se puede determinar dejando

correr el agua durante un minuto dentro de

un contenedor vacío de 5 galones (20 litros).

■ La temperatura del suministro de agua no

debe exceder 40°C/104°F.

■ No use nunca la hidrolavadora a presión

para aspirar agua con solventes, por ejemplo

disolventes para pintura, gasolina, aceite, etc.

■ Evite siempre que la unidad jale restos o

escombros, use siempre una fuente de agua

limpia.
