GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
break down, 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.
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.

PROTECTION
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.

EXTENSION CORDS
See Figure 1.
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 exten-
sion 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with
wet hands.
To avoid the possibility of the product plug or outlet getting
wet, the operator should arrange a "drip loop" in the cord
connecting the product to the outlet. The "drip loop" is that
part of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the connector
if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along
the cord and coming in contact with the outlet.
