IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING PRESSURE WASHER
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS:
. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This product must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2. DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type
of adaptor with this product.
3. GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION: This pressure washer is
provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug or
the power supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the
risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the cord become necessary,
use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.
4. EXTENSION CORDS:
THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT RECOMMEND
If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it must be plugged into a GFCI
found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. When using an extension
cord, observe the following:
Cable Length
Up to 50 feet
50 to 00 feet
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs
and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the product. Use
only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension
cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor
appliances; store indoors while not in use." Use only extension cords
having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not
use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and
replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any
cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always
disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting
the product from the extension cord.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off
the ground. Do not allow electrical cords to lay in water or in such a
position where water could come in contact with them. Do not touch
plug with wet hands
5. DO NOT drop the GFCI as damage could result. If the GFCI is accidentally
dropped, be certain to test the GFCI before using to ensure it is working
properly. (Follow instructions on GFCI for test procedures.)
6. DO NOT pull on the electrical cord to disconnect from the outlet, OR carry
the unit by the cord.
7. Check power cord for damage before using. There is a hazard of electrical
shock from crushing, cutting or heat damage.
8. Always be certain the unit is receiving proper voltage. Before plugging the
unit into a compatible power source, be certain the switch is in the "OFF"
position. Disconnect when not in use.
9. DO NOT use the unit in an area where flammable gas vapors may be present.
An electric spark could cause an explosion or fire.
0. DO NOT direct water spray on or into electrical installations of any kind.
This includes electrical outlets, light bulbs, fuse boxes, transformers, the
unit itself, etc. Severe electrical shock may occur.
. The manufacturer does not recommend the owner attempt any electrical
repairs to this unit.
