systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated

3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection – this
product is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

replacement of the plug or cord is needed, use only
identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.
4. It is not recommended to use an extension cord with
this pressure washer. The unit comes standard with a
35 ft GFCI power cable. Using an extension cord may
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use. These extension cords are identified by marking
"Acceptable for use with outdoor appliance; 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 extension cord from the receptacle
before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). The
appliance plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, make sure
that you are using the correct polarized wall outlet. If the
plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance
plug, power cord receptacle, or power cord plug in
any way.
