• Prevent cords, plastic bags, or similar items from getting
sucked in. This may cause an overload or blocking of the
motor.
Electrical Safety
ATTENTION: If there are problems with the electrical
MAINS, short voltage drops may appear when starting the
equipment. This can, in turn, inuence other equipment
(e.g. cause a lamp to blink). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax
< 0.335 OHM, such disturbances are not expected. (If you
require assistance, contact your local supply authority for
further information).
mWARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard – Before starting
up your machine, please check it carefully for any defects.
If you nd any, do not start up your machine. Contact your
authorized Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
dealer or call the Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563).
The following should be observed when connecting the
unit to the electric supply:
• The electric supply connection should be performed by a
qualied person.
IMPORTANT: Only use water without any impurities for the
pressure washer. If there is a risk of running sand into the inlet
water (i.e. from your own well), an additional lter should be
installed.
Safety devices
The unloader valve can reduce pressure if it exceeds preset
values. The spray gun features a locking device. When the lock
is activated, the spray gun cannot be operated.
1. Thermal sensor – A thermal sensor protects the motor
against overloading. The machine will restart after a few
minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled.
2. Double insulation – In a double-insulated appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added
to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be performed only by qualied service personnel at
an authorized Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
dealer. Replacement
parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical
to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance
is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or “Double
Insulated.” The symbol (square within a square) may
also be marked on the appliance.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection – A
GFCI should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for this electric pressure washer + wet/dry vacuum.
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of safety.
4. It is not recommended to use an extension cord with
this pressure washer + wet/dry vacuum. 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.
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 t into a polarized outlet only one
way.
If the appliance plug does not t fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, make sure
that you are using the correct polarized wall outlet. If the
plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance
plug, power cord receptacle, or power cord plug in any
way.
6. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.
m WARNING m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric pressure washer
+ wet/dry vacuum to make contact with water while
it is in operation. If the appliance becomes wet while
turned o, wipe dry before starting.
• Do not use an extension cord over 25 ft. The
pressure washer + wet/dry vacuum comes equipped
with a 35 ft power cable. Combined cord length
must not exceed 60 ft. Any extension cord must be
14-gauge (or heavier) to safely power the pressure
washer.
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
oers some protection.
